Women do not pack up their 7-month-old and move out for fun, trust me.
Then tell me : why does it happen so often?
Because a lot of guys spend their time and money chasing their d1cks from bar to bar instead of with their families? Because he begged her to have a baby and then refused to take care of it?
Most of the time, he's totally out of the kid's life by the time s/he starts kindergarten, and not always because his X met another man and said, "You have a new daddy so you don't need the old one any more". It's because HE DOESN'T CARE AND NEVER DID!
Sheesh.
In case you haven't figured it out, yes, I am a woman and YES, I am very aware there are always two sides to every story and the truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.
The vast majority of divorces are initiated by women today. Whether you think 70 or 75 or 80%, it's the vast majority.
My grandpa supposedly went out to the bars quite a bit when he was young, and the story is that when he got married my grandmother eventually put her foot down. They were together until death, and there are a whole lot of couples who can't say that today.
What's bizarre is that women don't seem to leave when they are beaten to a pulp ("He has beaten me for 25 years" - says a woman), when the man fools around with other women 20 times a month, or when the man does any of these other famous female complaints.
No, the woman leaves when she is bored. When she isn't getting any attention. That's the TOP reason for initiating divorce. The man pulled out all stops to impress the princess when they were dating (she wouldn't accept anything less), but now that he's married he has this stupid idea of being responsible and boring.
She knows that a BBD (Bigger, Better Deal) is just around the corner, and in any case Uncle Sam is going to scare the money out of the ex-husband (and maybe contribute some more, in addition to a LOT from the new boyfriend), so she's good to go.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
I really wish men would get the drift, but they aren't going to. Anyway, contratulations on your new wedding, dude; your wife is really a piece of work.
