Women asking for divorce?
From my book, "10 Lessons for Men".
Statistics show more and more divorces are being initiated by wives instead of husbands. This is a new but growing trend. "Today Americans want not only a spouse who is reliable and reasonable, but also someone who is their best friend, and a great lover, and someone who pays the bills ... but is also really fun," said Stanford sociologist Michael Rosenfeld in an article in the Washington Post (8/27/15).
According to research that Rosenfeld presented at the American Sociological Association's annual meeting, women's heightened expectations can leave them feeling worse off in marriage than men. In a survey of 2,262 adults in heterosexual partnerships over the course of five years, Rosenfeld found that 69% of divorces are initiated by women. On the whole, women also reported less satisfaction with their marriages than men. The reasons vary, but a common thread is wives being unhappy with their husbands' refusal to change.
