I have seen it claimed that women file for 70% to 80% of divorce. Now some of these women are filing because of infidelity, abuse, and abandonment. However, with today's self centered, selfish, and disposable mentality it would be interesting to see what the numbers were for women and men filing for divorce because of these aforementioned mindsets. Heck just look at the people who land here. I don't have concrete numbers, but it sure seems like the majority of them are men. I often read and hear how its more and more common for people (men or women) to divorce because they just aren't happy. I have seen numbers that while men tend cheat more often than women, that gap is narrowing. Although from what I gather it seems like when a woman cheats or is just done her chances of comming back are much slimmer than if the roles were reversed.
Ultimately, I think with this whole business of divorce is a multivariate problem. While I do have some theories, I don't have the answers nor the time to thoroughly research said answers.
What I can say is that both myself and my exW were very traditional and were willing to fall on our swords for our family. At some point there became a disconnect and she became one of those chasing happy people....
