Why do women ask for the majority of divorces?

Women poften divorice to gain unobstructed power and control over the children and their support paying parents. \n\nMost divorces are initiated by women.  \n\nIf the court names the woman the primary custodian, she makes most, if not all, of the major decisions regarding the child or children. As custodial parent, she will be able to spend the money the husband pays in child support exactly as she pleases-something she may not do during marriage [my note: consumer spending related research shows that women control the family spending and make the decisions in major, as well minor, purchases]. Finally, though the court will usually have ordered visitation, she can exert some control over her former husband by regulating many, though not all, aspects of the time he spends with the child. In the extreme, she can even "poison" the child against the father. By making a preemptive filing, the wife may be able to secure rights such as child or spousal support that require court enforcement. When the wife files, she is often given temporary custody of the children. Temporary custody, like possession, tends to be "nine tenths of the law" and plays a role in the assignment of permanent custody, especially where the divorce does not occur for some time. We also note that no-fault (unilateral) divorce laws apparently do two things. They increase divorce filing rates generally, and they increase the percentage of women who file. The fact that women, more than men, take advantage of the easier exit, suggests that a return to a fault-based system will not advance women's goals." This is only one of the myriad of documents which document that in order to reduce the number of divorces we need to reintroduce fault into divorce, introduce the presumption of joint custody and do away with the transfer of money from one household to the next, under the guise of child support. "Child" supporting itself is a misnomer as it is now equated with support to the entire household where the child resides, as defined by the Federal Child Support Guidelines and interpreted by Madam Justice Rosalie Abella and other judges. It is of great concern that even the Globe and Mail, which used to at least make an effort to keep away from these kinds of propagandist articles, would now join the ranks of the yellow press.

What are the most common Causes of Divorce?\n\nNo statistics on this are collected -- the grounds listed on the vital statistics forms that are filed with each divorce case in most states rarely list the actual cause of the divorce. The causes listed below come from a survey of experienced divorce lawyers who have been elected by their peers to the Academy. \n\nWhy Marriages Fail\n\nNot all marriages fail for the same reason. Nor is there usually one reason for the breakdown of a particular marriage. Nevertheless, we hear some reasons more often than others.\n\nThey are:\n\nPoor communication\nFinancial problems\nA lack of commitment to the marriage\nA dramatic change in priorities\nInfidelity\n\nThere are other causes we see a lot, but not quite as often as those listed above .They are:\n\nFailed expectations or unmet needs\nAddictions and substance abuse\nPhysical, sexual or emotional abuse\nLack of conflict resolution skills

Because women are just now (in the last 50 years) starting to aquire stable jobs in the buisness world. Men however, have reached their peak in the buisness world and have their wives to earn a considerable amount of the family income. Therefore, men are able to take more financial risks.

I think most women are looking for honesty, someone who is loyal and doesn't play games. We want someone who doesn't mooch and is just willing to be a 50/50 partner.

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.

i think that is a reflection of the male population getting worried that we women won't be coming back to make their dinner or raise their kids .they think that women from that culture won't want a life outside of them , which is kind of like picking the right breed of dog for your life style. \nits cold and not only do you cheat the woman out of a truly loving husband who cares for her and not what she can do for him , but you cheat your self out of a equal relationship with a woman (of any race ) who inspires you and challenges you .

Because they seem to like the challenge.Because some women allow them to cheat.My father use to say that sometimes a man will marry the woman that will let him get away with the most crap.Whorish men get married too.Some men are in the practice of saying whatever it takes to get what they want or to get you off of their backs.Never let him know that you are totally satisfied with him or your relationship,because to do so is to give up the fight.Have you ever seen a dog chase a car?If the car stops moving he turns and goes the other way.He doesn't really want to catch it,he just enjoys the chase.Always keep your man chasing you.Even if he has you,don't convince him that he does.Otherwise he will look for some other person to chase.

Not all women are like that, but i agree like 80 percent seem like they just want to demand and not give anything back to the man.  I think its just an attention thing. If she spoils u back i dont think theres anything wrong with giving some things to women.   muawwwww  :)

Women, generally speaking, suck. Equal rights!!!!! But you better open my door and treat me like a lady or you're a pig. Women don't know what the heck they want, and that's really nothing new. As far as marriage goes, that's the fault of both sexes. Used to be, people got married and spent their lives trying to make eachother happy. Now, people get married because it seems the logical next step in their relationship. Then, they spend their time talking about how they're unhappy and wanting to know what the other person is going to do to fix it. It's no longer, "I love you, what can I do to make you happy?"... it's.. "If you love me, you better think of ways to make me happy or I'll just divorce you!"\nPeople don't realize that you get what you give. If you dote on and love on someone, and do everything in your power to make them happy and feel loved.... you can bet the farm that they, in return, will dish it all back out to you.\n\nIn short, women are friggin NUTS and don't know what the heck they want..... and in general, people marry for the wrong reasons because all they have to do is get a divorce if they change their minds...\n\nPS.

The only dumb question is the one you don't ask.  But you're absolutely right.  Divorce is a very sad but true fact of life in today's society.\n\nThe underlying reason is probably how materialistic and selfish this society has become.  It is no longer "I need to do my part and be patient", instead it's "What have you done for me lately".  \n\nPart of it maybe the fact that men and women communicate differently.  But that's always been the case throughout history.\n\nThe other part of it is permiscuity.  Statistically, 80% of divorces are because of infidelity.  The reason this has become so is directly attributable to pre-marital sex.  People will continue to deny this, but the statistics are very clear.\n\nThink about it from a psychological point of view.  Once the heart is broken (i.e. after one's first love), it can never be put back to it's original state.  The emotional scar may heal, but it will never disappear.  This creates mistrust between the sexes.  Ultimately, people get numbed to it and it becomes a predatory game.\n\nAlso, after leaving the first partner, one becomes very curious about all potential partners.  Whereas if intimacy is saved for the institution of marriage, then the partners learn how to fully satisfy each other without any temptation from outside the marriage.\n\nThe problem only gets worse with every generation.  Once a child grows up in an environment that does not hold marriage sacred, then they will end up taking it even a step further.\n\nWe all have to learn to "love the one you're with".  No one is perfect.  Instead of listening to that little voice in your head that nags you about how annoying your partner's habbits are, learn to love those habbits.  They are what makes your partner who they are.  \n\nWe have to learn to appreciate the good and the bad.  After all, it is for better or for worse.\n\nAnd God only knows best.

That is because the majority of them are out for one thing and if they don't get what they want, they move on.  Now I said majority!!  There are a number of men out there that are predictable and will be the man of your dreams!!

I too read that those couples who stick it out are happier 5 years after the issue than those couples who divorce.\n\nIf you are having a hard time telling him you want a divorce, I have to ask if you have had a hard time communicating your needs and wants in a way he is sure to hear and understand.\n\nRemember, most of you ladies speak a different "language" than guys, and then get upset when we don't understand.  Your difficulty in telling him leads me to believe you could learn to improve your part in the the communication cycle.

I honestly believe that the reason there are so many divorces is because people get married when they are in the "honeymoon phase" of their relationship, have a fairtale wedding, and then expect a fairytale wedding.\nPeople need to realize that true love is when you love a person completely, including their faults.  \nI think people expect their partner to change or something to happen once they get married, or many times they don't even know their partner's irritating habbits.\nI think it is important to realize no matter how much you love someone and how great your relationship is, when you live with someone you see everything about them, and it isn't always what a person expects.\n\nA relationship obviously changes throughout the years a couple is together.  People change and mature and things that were important to us as children get put on the back burner.\nDoes that mean a relationship is better or worse?   No.

I never understood that myself.  I guess women are naturally suspicious of divorced men. \nMy sister and brother-in-law divorced, It was all her fault and get this,,, SHE pays the child support!!!!! (she got what she deserved).\nAnyway, there are women out there who understand that it isn't always the guy's fault, be patient.  Besides if the first thing a woman says is "What did you do" then you probably don't want her anyway (too controlling and suspicious).. GOOD LUCK!

Most of the women that are demanding for doors to be opened for them aren't the ones fighting for equality. Yes, we want to have the right and ability to vote and to go to war if we so wish. We want the right to do all the things men do. That doesn't mean we do want to do these things, we only want the chance. Women are still fragile and want to be treated how we once were. At one time women were treated with the utmost respect, honor and love, but, we had no rights. We are only asking that we still be respected but that we have all the oppurtunities and chances for greatness that men do.
