modern men, if you are so perfect for a woman, why divorce rates so high? May 26, 2010
I am talking about the sickly dudes, that push prams, whilst the woman walks by his side. He does his ‘fare share in the house’. If all you women out there are going to be so against this question and take offence because of your ‘programmed’ sense of liberation and equality, just take a good look at what this all did for the FAMILY LIFE, it is shattered, it is broken down, it is in a mess. Divorce rates are exceedinly high, more and more mental ill health, depression, loneliness, has occured since all of this. Men are like women, and women are like Men. Come on face the facts. Oh, and I will wait for the obvious answers, calling me bitter? dont think so !!

because women are not perfect…………
that’s why your divorce rate is so high, marriage is a business, women are learning that there is money to made in divorces,,they know that in ten years they can take half the guys pension. plus child support , and they r entitled to his social security, so if a woman marries 3 times, and plays it right , she can retire with houses cars and a bank full of money, and have money coming in every month, leaving her to siting on the patio drinking a beverage with a little umbrella in in the glass, while the 3 exs are working 2 or 3 jobs to pay for their mistakes to the same woman, i believe most women are on first name basis with divorce lawyers and the judges,
lol, you manly man you
Divorce rates are so high because of the trend of people rushing into marriage without actually knowing who it is they are marrying. The radical shift in gender roles has played a role, albeit a small one in my opinion, but mostly it is due to people not realizing they are not all that compatible before saying their “I dos”. A marriage is supposed to be built on respect, honesty, love, and trust. Now-a-days, people marry for money. Or for lust, which they confuse with love.
Lol geez you guys are funny. Well I’m a 27f and hearing this is discouraging. I want to be married to a best friend who I find very attractive. That seems like a great long term match. Now I just have to meet him lol. i think its important for ppl to be married before having kids. And who wants to be single and old? It will be hard to get dates. I see more advantages of marriage then disadvantages. Ppl who marry for money then get a divorce are just wasting their life away. 60% of divorces mary for the wrong reasons. I think its because they think love is enough and theyre not thinking long term compatibility.
I don’t know what the statistics are in the UK, but in the US the divorce rates are highest in areas with large concentrations of people who have “old fashioned” ideas about marriage, etc. So, evidently the old fashioned people are getting fed up with that way of doing things and are wishing they were more modern.
I myself love pushing a pram (actually, we call them baby carriages). I also cook and launder and dust and shop, I love it that my wife is liberated and tells me what to do. I bring her coffee in bed every morning, and I always have a vodka gimlet chilling for her when she gets home from work. And she appreciates me for it, and I couldn’t be happier.
Ever heard the saying “It takes 2 to tango”?
As much as one can point fingers at men, i can turn and point fingers right back. As my lady of 7 years broke up with me for no reason at all but because she was seeing another guy on the side and likes him more. And i did so much for her and that’s the thanks i get.
Or maby she’s the perfect woman and it’s all my fault for never cheating on her, etc.
Reality is that theresno such thing as perfection in an imperfect world nor will there ever be such a thing. Theproblem lies in too high of expectations and when those fail, people get depressed over their disillusionment and tend to destroy their marriages over it. People with high expectations will surely be easily disappointed everytime. There are no sure facts here except that we live in an imperfect world and whats going to happen will
Me thinks the gentleman doth protest too much!
Looking for Ms Conservative Right and you keep running into Ms Modern and Ms Contemporary?
Of course there is a connection between higher divorce rates and women REDISCOVERING their sense of liberation and equality and the revision of what is considered “family life”. But it’s a broad sweep to say this is also responsible for mental health issues, depression and loneliness!
If you want to blame historical and societal changes blame the introduction of primogeniture – the line of inheritance was formerly through the female line. Once laws changed to primogeniture, where the first born son of the male line inherited everything, it became necessary to restrict women’s sexual and physical freedoms as the way of guaranteeing their was no cuckoo in the nest so to speak.
In case we forget even while marriage for life was still the norm, a lot of men and women did not live up to the expectations and responsibilities while officially remaining in the relationship. How many single women do you know who’s husbands up and left for younger women, etc. If anything mental health issues among women was even more prevalent! And for all those men who had affairs, not all the affairs were with single women. Sauce for the goose…..
Divorce rates are higher today – an on going trend since the introduction of civil divorce made it financially feasible for all and not just the rich – and because many people get married before they’re emotionally developed!
They also haven’t realized, amongst other things, the importance of the 3C’s in relationships. Chemistry, Compatibility and Commitment. Too many go from the infatuation of Chemistry and into Commitment without even giving compatibility factors much thought. A few compatibility factors are: personal and shared goals, aspirations, spiritual or religious beliefs, interests as well as life and individual priorities,etc. This is the glue that holds a relationship together while both parties deal with individual and family challenges.
A simplistic explanation maybe but one I think holds water. Instead of whining and bitching about what other people are or aren’t doing in their relationships focus on what you want and achieving it.
You are obviously someone of strong opinions and arguably your values could be described as retro conservative – this may not appeal to many modern and contemporary women. All you need is one compatible woman who holds the same values and wants the same life style. Go find her. Trust me she is out there.
Word to the wise though, all women regardless of their values and aspirations want to be honoured loved and RESPECTED in the home. Ditch the anti female rage – it will push away all women before you get to even know them. And, fyi, it’s possible to feel lonely in a relationship -especially when there is little or no compatibility.
You’re better off blaming the govts who have taxed the heLL out of us so much so that 2 people have to work to support 1 household.
Divorce rates are high because people are selfish, they date multiple people before getting married, abuse and woman no longer take the beating they once did, men walk out and abandon their family, men won’t pay the bills like the once did or they can’t because the economy is so bad, stress from a fast paced world and number one marriage is the only instution people are dieing to get in and when they get married they are dieing to get out…
