75% of divorces are filed by wives
Between 66% and 75% of divorces are filed by the wives, and that’s a pretty high number considering how many men tell their mistresses they’re going to leave their wives.
But in all seriousness, why are so many women the ones who make the final curtain call when it comes to divorce?
Well, here’s why. Women tend to take care of everyone and everything in the home – yes, even if they work full time. So when a husband is not doing his share, they start complaining, or in man speak, nagging.
After a while, the wives give up and are certain that change is not possible. It is at this point that resentment and quite possibly hatred come into play.
Now while the wives start planning their exit, the husbands takes their silence as a sign that things are copasetic and that their wives have finally entered into that comfort zone that most couples know and hate.
When wives finally springs the “I want a divorce” speech on husbands, they seem flabbergasted. “Oh man, I had no clue. Why? What can I do to change?”
At this point, there is nothing a husband can do. If he acts like a jerkoff, she’s walking off anyway. If he acts like a nice guy, she’ll think he’s pathetic and get even more turned off.
So for the men out there whose wives have stopped complaining about anything and everything, better luck next time. And for those of you whose wives are still complaining, start listening because she’s letting you know that she wants to make it work.

Could the real answer be women usually get the car, house, kids and massive monthly checks?
Naww – couldn’t be.
The writer of this article must be a woman. There’s more than one good answer and it isn’t simply a man’s fault as this author suggests. When women get married they dream about their Prince Charming sweeping them off their feet and spending their lives happily ever after. Or perhaps because, women tend to receive a considerable amount of outside support from friends and family members while the typical married man’s support group…is his wife. Men marry for sex, children and companionship, all very realistic in marriage. Women have unrealistic expectations of men and that makes it harder for women to be happy. Men also get more health benefits from marriage than women do. I’ll explain, men live longer, are less likely to smoke or abuse alcohol or drugs and they don’t take the same level of risk asa single men do. Consider these facts, women file for divorce at least 2.5 times that of men, a divorced man is 4 times more likely to commit suicide than a divorced woman. When kids are involved it grows to a staggering 10:1! Just imagine if you add a bitter custody battle with a spiteful ex-wife. Statistically, divorce has no significant impact on the number of women that commit suicide, however, it’s obvious that the effect on men is epidemic. It makes sense because the emotional strain on divorced women has gone down with the growing acceptance and receding stigma of the divorcee, tying it to social factors. While the effects of divorce on men are primarily not tied to what other people think of them.
