I considered that.
But that theory doesn't explain why, in addition to initiating divorce less frequently, married men also report higher levels of relationship satisfaction than women, while unmarried couples report the same levels of satisfaction.
- Arizhel 9y agoI'm guessing it's because even today, married men still expect the women to do all or most of the housework, while also holding a full-time job, so men in marriage get a better deal as long as they're in the marriage, and don't realize how frustrated and unsatisfied the woman is. But they get screwed once divorce happens.
- Spooky23 9y agoCouples who file for divorce are a subset of unhappy marriages. Many people stay unhappily married (or unmarried & together) for a variety of reasons -- my comment was solely intended to reference people who pull that trigger.
