why women start most of the divorces?

If a woman is not happy, she's more likely to do something about it than the man. Men tend to 'go with the flow' and think everything's fine until something really terrible happens to wake them up to reality.\n\nWomen are much more aware of their happiness level, and if someone else comes along and shows them love, then she sees what's she's been doing without, and she takes the steps to become free again to know that kind of love.\n\nMany times a woman can deal without their partner loving them if her source of love comes from her children, but after awhile she'll see that the void can't be filled by them alone. Most women can't always afford to initiate divorces, but when she gets desperate, she'll do what she has to.\n\nHope that helps!

Because it is easier for them to leave. I think if men were able to get pregnant, it would be the other way around. Maybe 90% of deadbeat parents would be mothers who left. It's just easier for men to avoid the responsibility because they don't carry the child while the mother is stuck carrying it, and then giving birth to it, etc.

people get married because they are gambling on a feeling lasting.  the thing is a crap shoot at best. about 50% of marriages end in divorce, and most of them end bad.  But, if it's a good marriage it's better than anything immaginable.

People make mistakes, they marry the wrong people or for the wrong reasons.  Some people are fickle and fall out of love easily.  Others love the feeling of "falling in love" but when the honeymoon is over, it' over.  Others develop problems farther down the line.  As many divorces as there are, there are reasons for the divorce.\n\nPersonally, I don't want to restrict myself to a number, because as soon as I do, I'd break it.  I'd like to not ever want to marry again.

I don't think all women are like that. I have found that since I am now divorced that even men who have children expect me to forsake my sons, or I have heard lines like you have to take care of your needs first. I have friends who put their loves in front of their children. I get very upset with them. Mother or Father your children should come first. \n\nJust that some men and women are selfish and self centered. Usually they are like that as parents as well. I take that as a sign that I shouldn't get involved.  I have an ex who is like that.  It is all about him and his needs before his children's.

Women have already made up their mind from the start, but like to dwell on the problem.\nMen make up their mind and later dwell on it after it's too late to choose the other option.

One woman out of about 100 million white women. Yeah, it's time to panic. That's why there is a such thing as alimony.

I think the ratio of yes to no answers is close to the divorce rate in California.  These women are getting so lazy.  I wonder how long their Grandparents stayed together and how they treated each other.  Next look at their parents and see how long they  lasted, and finally look at themselves and their future.  Lots of divorces will follow all of the no answering people.  muahhahahaha

Because some women are made that way.

you are right; from the divorce rate you mentioned above. it use to be HALF of all marriages end up in divorce, now its predicted MORE than half will end up in divorce (statisticly) a human being by nature is a mamal. a mamal or an animal wrather is a being that is made to procreate (male; spread its seed) though we are smarter than an animal yet; we still have those urges. why cant we stop the way we are if were so smart? well were built this way. the same reason we eat meat, when we know that an animal that has done no wrong, is slaughtered. yet we love the taste of meat. we also love the taste of sin. yea as you figured, most divorces, are caused by infidelity.

cause men think they are still 2 years old and let their wives take the place of their mommies. if just men ruled this world, it would have ended along time ago!

It dates back to when women were considered property.Once married, she became the property of her husband.Hence the name change.

I bet the most common reason is having been neglected. Boredom can be a factor, too. Some women are super insecure and need attention. If they aren't getting that from their husband, they will get it elsewhere. It's usually more emotional for women than it is physical (like it is for men.)

Lonliness is usually the root cause of it I think. Many woman feel their men never listen to them so they go look for someone who will. I wish men would learn that before the 2nd. marriage.

IMO... our lives are much more complex than our equivalents from 50 years ago and thus it's more likely for married people to grow in different directions over time (values, needs, etc.). Add to that how easy and acceptable it is to get a divorce, and how quick we are to dispose of things that we no longer want, and you get an increasing percentage.\nI wouldn't be surprised if in the not too distant future the average length of a marriage drops to ~5 years and the average number of marriages per person increases to 2+.\nA parallel to consider: how many different circles of friends do you have and how often have you joined new ones and left others behind over your life? (grade school, high school, college, jobs, etc.). We are a nomadic species. :)

I suspect it would be a woman.  Women, not men, physically give birth to the children so there is that factor.   Many women are raising children on their own, some because they choose to, some because it is so easy for the fatehrs to get away with being deadbeat dads, and some because until very recent years the courts very much favored the mom in terms of awarding custody.   Some people believe tht women have more of the "caregiver" characteristic and so are more likely to head single parent households.
