What main reason why women divorce ?

Hello, I’m confused on a topic (I’m trying to get rid of red pill thinking but I still have topics where I’m confused)

Why do women divorce more than men

I’ve read articles (not studies) suggesting that women’s higher expectations/ unfulfilled emotional needs would be why they divorce?

What is unfulfilled emotional needs? Isnt this a selfish reason to divorce ? Is it the main reason why women divorce?

Does anyone has sources or can help me ?

This is the articles I’ve read ;

The main reason I and every woman I know has divorced can be found in the main body and the comments of this post:

If I understand she’s annoyed by the fact that her husband isn’t helping her with house chores?

I appreciate your help but As someone with a trad past, my brain will just dismiss it as a woman not wanting to do her duty….

Im not sure I understand, is she overburdened?

Overburdened is an incredible understatement.

It can be doing her half of a relationship for a woman who has agreed to a traditional arrangement. However, that traditional arrangement also involves the man providing all the household cash and working long fucking hours for it.

Most modern relationship have a close to egalitarian default to income, with men earning a bit more in general, while women still do the bulk of the domestic labor. Essentially the men are doing 48 hour weeks when household labor is included and the women are doing 72 hour weeks, too vastly oversimplify with numbers made up just to demonstrate my point.

I understand, double burden

and if you do go for the traditional arrangement, often being treated as worth less than him simply because you don’t earn money and aren’t really doing anything. all that hard work you do raising children and keeping house doesn’t count as work, after all.

nevermind that you don’t ever get a break. that you‘re supposed to be „on call“ 24/7, while he works a 9-5 and the doesn’t lift a finger to help or claims brining the trash out once a week and changing the car‘s oil from time to time is equivalent.

„a man can work from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done“

how is that fair? and why do we deserve to never rest? why do we deserve to work and work and work for no appreciation? why do we not deserve love and respect?
