40% first marriages in US end in divorce. Second marriages have 60%. 2/3 initiated by women

This number keeps coming up.

A: It hasn't been true for multiple generations. The # comes from when divorce was first legalized and there was a huge boom in divorces right away.

B: The number of failed marriages is dramatically increased by "frequent fliers" who get divorced multiple times.

College educated adults have a 25% divorce rate.

College education adults only have a 15% chance of their 2nd marriage failing.

> 2/3 initiated by women

You say this like 2/3 of divorce is the fault of women, but IME they usually have good reason to do so.

There is no conspiracy in it

Divorce implies involvement of a government institution and women feel like a fish in water when it comes to bureaucracy, while men avoid it

That's why in same-sex pairs women are twice likely to call cops and file a lawsuit regarding house abuse and men half as often

And let’s face it, nerds are especially vulnerable.

People are missing the point; it depends on the "circle" you are in. Not all will have the same experiences occurring at the same frequency.
