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:

I wanted to write more but Reddit was being weird, so I'll say here that many women in marriages end up feeling like their husband is another child they have to take care of but who also expects mom to sleep with him. It's thoroughly unattractive being with someone who can't even take care of themselves, much less anyone else, and who refuses to help with the basics of everyday life. This is such a common complaint from women, yet every day on Reddit I see posts from men saying that their wives "blindsided" them with divorce (when actually, the wives had been "nagging" them for a more equitable partnership for years), and/or asking "now that she's actually leaving me, what can I do to change so she'll stay?"

I think if you really read the post and comments that I linked, you'll have a good understanding of both why married women divorce, and why fewer and fewer single women are interested in marriage or even dating. Good luck, and I'm glad you asked.

why fewer and fewer single women are interested in marriage or even dating.

I keep seeing this claim on reddit but anecdotally so many young women I know personally (non-white and white) have pursued marriage.

I definitely know a lot of people, both men and women, who still value and want marriage. I think the change is that people are quicker to break up if their partner behaved unreasonably, and/or more people are happy to be single.

I think marriage used to be the default, but it's not anymore.

That’s good. A social change in the correct direction. Marriage needs to stop being a default and something that should happen only if the people involved understand what they are getting into and still want it.
