70% of all divorces are initiated by women, that rises to 90% of college educated women. why? I visit over 200 business's for a work a month, and have found a lot of bitter men out there, who have lost their homes and a massive chunk of their incomes through divorce, and most aren't abusive ex partners, but you do hear 'she said she didn't love me anymore, we've drifted apart,' but usually have another man already and usually higher up the financial ladder. Regarding children, I've been verbally abused on a number of occasions by women for being the single parent despite my ex not wanting him. (he's disabled so will always be with me). Yes there are women who rightly walk out through abuse (but a lot of women are attracted to that type of man in the first place). I used to work with 300 plus women for many years, and time and time again would see the girls go out with blokes who'd abuse them and heard the comment 'he's nice, too nice,' why they left decent blokes.
