Why Women Are More Likely to Initiate Divorces Than Men
Briefly

Research indicates that women are more likely to initiate divorce than men, driven by different emotional and social dynamics. While men derive numerous benefits from marriage—such as improved health and career prospects—women often find they thrive better without a partner. Factors influencing men's reluctance to leave include a strong sense of duty towards their children and societal expectations. This poses a contrast where women often report greater satisfaction as singles, whereas unmarried men are more vulnerable to feelings of loneliness and a decline in overall well-being.
