Are women and men perfect. Nope, there are good people and there are bad people. People who love each other fuck up. Sometimes they are forgiven, sometimes they are not. Men can be shitty to their wives, wives can be shitty to their husbands, know what that means? People can be really shitty to each other. There is no man better, woman better. Both sexes can use children and sex and money as weapons against the other.
Statistics can be interesting, but we do not know why did the women file for divorce most of the time. Could it possibly be because the man didn't want to bother? And if the woman needs child support and he won't pay it willingly, she has to file for the divorce. Look at Brad and Angelina and Jennifer, he ran off with a new woman, is adopting her children and has impregnanted her. But even though it was obvious that Brad wanted out of the marriage to move on to a new life, he did not file the divorce papers, Jennifer did.
My father abandoned my family when I was 6 yrs old. My mother had to file for the divorce because he couldn't be bothered.
Why do so many second marriages fail, could it be that PEOPLE have poor communication skills in a relationship, so what broke up the first marriage, breaks up the second cause no one learned their lesson the first time?
And yes prenuptual agreements can be a good thing, but they should ONLY be for asset distribution. Any other clauses regarding sex, weight, who gets the kids are complete assholes who have no idea as to what compromise means and what changes of life mean. Things change, people change, diseases happen, the test of character is the ability to love someone when life changes the outside. Wrinkles appear, hair is lost, the ravages of time effect us all. If you need to contract every item in marital life, then you are a person who is doomed to fail in marriage.
Is divorce law outdated, most likely. So men get together and prove your cases, apply to your legislature. Do what women did to get child support and alimony in the first place.
