Women dont want to accept their role as wife and mother and men pretend to be ok with it. A few years down the road it all blows up. Males and females are two different creatures with two different kinds of brain function. Pretending thats not true does not work in most cases.

Maybe

Women are the petitioners in something like 80% of divorce cases.

Women talk about sharing all responsibility 100%. Become the dominate partner. Taking the role men should have. After they get what they think they want they lose all respect for the man. Loosegoose is right, 80%. When a woman says I am NOT getting up early to fix him breakfast and pack a lunch, HE can make the bed and do dishes, I am not his mother, its time to move on. She will never be happy with her wishy washy man and will make his life miserable never really knowing why she has no respect for him. I see that over and over and over.

Equality doesnt exist in a marriage. Sometimes you dont agree. When that happens one person will dominates the other. If its the man giving in most of the time you can bet dollars to donuts lawyers are going to be happy.

Just think of all the problems that we have from letting them vote.

When I met my wife she told me she voted for Bill Clinton. When I asked her why she giggled and said he was better looking. True story. Now she pays attention to what they are doing. I think a lot of YOUNG women vote that way. As they mature it changes some but not a lot. Women will talk about what candidates wear at a debate with a lot more enthusiasm than discussions about what was said.

So many divorces-----Selfishness!!!

Oh boy, do you drag your knuckles on the ground when you walk?? In this house my wife works full time and her job has the better insurance package. Obviously that's not the case in yours. She has a stressful job in an a accounting type job and works hard at it.
We share the household work but I'll admit she does do more of it than I do. We both can cook and each of us make our meals for the week ahead of time. It's really not that big of a deal if you've got a little bit of ambition. As far as making the bed it doesn't take much to put the covers back up to the pillow for me.

As far as the stat of women asking for 80% of divorces, I do know some women that are dandy's that have a lot of drama in their lives and look for reasons to have issues in their marriage but that's not the case here. In some cases I can see the woman's point, their husband is a complete idiot and or arsehole.

In the article the woman complains about men not taking active responsibility for household chores INSIDE the home. The woman has to take the active role. What about the chores outside the home. Does the man wait to be told the grass needs cutting, the deck need another coat of water seal, the autos need to be taken in for inspection, her car needs new tires, etc? Her focus is on the chores that have traditionally been the woman's responsibility from when most women didn't work and completely ignores the chores that were traditionally the man's responsibility even though he was working.

our society has devolved into on where its bad to be an assertive male, toxic masculinity don't ya know. And one where women are told they can do what ever they want, don't waste your life being a housewife, get a job, a career.

So what happens when the men lack ambition cause they are told not to be assertive, don't be so competitive. You get men who are what my wife calls "floaters". They just drift from job to job, they don't care if they get ahead , they are happy in Mom's basement wasting their lives away. Add that to pushy career driven women that want a man that is the top of the pile in looks, income and status. You end up with women who are never happy (they file for 80% of divorces) and men who don't give a crap. Its a recipe for disaster.

Thank leftism for it.

of course this is not all men and women but enough of them.

I have learned that cutting the grass is "fun", thus doesn't count. also don't count: digging out septic tanks (yeah, should have put in risers), snow removal, gutter maintenance, etc.

Very easy now for women to get male attention and it's become very acceptable to have male "friends". Social media has had a bad affect on everyone but it seems particularly harmful for young/middle aged women and it shows in mental health issues and the divorce rate.

That’s it in a nutshell

You know that wisdom comes straight from the Bible? It's covered in the first three chapters of Genesis to start with, and just expands from there. The whole fall of man began when Adam neglected his responsibility as head and protector of his wife and allowed her to lead him into sin. The whole male/female system is intentionally designed with forethought to picture the relationship between Jesus Christ and his bride. Of course, I know you think that's a fairy tale. But regardless of whether you believe the actual events are true or not, you must see the wisdom to be learned from it.

I think you may be wrong, or not stating clearly about there not being "equality" in marriage. Men and women are definitely equal in value, worth, dignity, and honor. It's true that men and women are different and are designed and equipped to perform different functions and serve different roles in a marriage. One role for a man is to be a leader - a servant leader. And the wife's role is to submit to a husband's headship and leadership. The husband should not be negligent or slothful and relegate his role as leader to the wife and head of the family. And the wife should not succumb to her desire to have her husband's position of leadership. But even though the man and woman have different roles and responsibilities, neither is greater in value or more honorable than the other. Neither is to dominate the other but to serve each other in the roles designed for them.

Add my lol to this also.

Yep the change in roles is not the reason people are unhappy in their marriages. Must be some other reason. I will put my panties on and apologize

Men have to work hard, protect their families and lead. Unfortunately way too many American men (right and left) are cry baby pansies and lazy. I don't blame the women for leaving.

Another category is important too--a healthy fear of losing half of your crap and some other guy raising your kids.

I think lack of faith has led to a great number of divorces - lack of faith and failure to walk even remotely how the Bible says.

Reasons for divorce and reasons people are unhappy in their marriages do not always line up.
But one thing is well known: We're a culture that chases pleasure. And pleasures if pleasure doesn't make us "happy,"
The grandest chasers there's ever been in human history.
"I just want my kids to be happy," never had a chance because happiness comes from joy and joy is not found where most are mining for it.

So, we can predict that with the masses chasing what "me, me, me" wants day and night... splits at every level might occur.
Marriages being one of the splits.
Jobs being another. Take this job and shove it isn't a song, it's an underlying worldview that the world owes "me."

NEWSFLASH: The world doesn't revolve around any person. It revolves according to the Will of the One who made it and makes it function still.

The further we run from real Truth.... the crappier the false teachings become.
Stay tuned.
It's bound to not get better any time soon.
