This gem on social media. Clearly, there are still people out there that believe most divorces are because men cheat.
It has been said before, and it is worth saying again:
80% of divorces are initiated by the woman.
Of the remaining 20%, 80% of those are initiated by a man who was cheated on.
That's 96% of the time, the divorce is either instigated by, or the fault of, the wife.
Of the top 9 reasons women list for filing for divorce, a cheating husband is one of the reasons listed. Most sources put cheating husband at less than 10% of divorces. Add in abuse, and the total that are the man's fault are about 12% - 15% of all divorces.
To correct the meme above, one might correctly say that a farm wife just doesn't have the time to imagine a reason to go to an attorney and get a divorce.
She likely, just like the husband, owns a shotgun & a backhoe & knows how to use both.
