    70% of divorce initiated by women. they see their friends who get the kids, the house, the income and the tennis coach and think "that could be me".

    in my case, it was my ex calling the police and telling lies which led to my moving out...

        I think arw is looking forward to having squirrel/human hybrid offspring - if atw is human.

          maybe your figures are more up to date than mine - 5 years ago it was 70%. I wonder if the figure is increasing?

          of course a disadvantage of f4j campaigning is that more women know what they can "get away with". but it puts a few men off marriage too...

              Don't know depends what magazines and surveys you read.

              Anyway your previous comment was a bit flippant. Not every woman looks at their best friend and thinks that could be me, particularly as the friend is likely to ring them up moaning about the ex playing around with the dates he has agreed to see the sprogs or skipping child maintenance payments.

              Most of the divorces I know about are among people who are childless, got married straight from university to someone of similar earnings and then realised they hadn't lived. In lots of cases they still talk to each other.

                I think Brillos heart is in the right place, just strikes me he's been scarred by a bad experience, and is hanging around with people who share a similar outlook on marriage and wives and divorce.

                  Not if he's a decent bloke, he won't, especially as she'll pull the "this is only upsetting the children" line which is a fast way of pulling a cheesed-off ex-husband back into line.

                  I agree that (IMO) many divorces are initiated by women who think that the grass will be greener and that they have nothing to lose.

                    There are no stats on how many men do not turn up for contact (I would love to see some). But I have seen evidence that 41% of court orders are broken by women.

                    My ex regularly breaks hers - always to see the children less. Which is a result in my book.

                    However I think men who do not turn up for contact sessions should be neutered. At a minimum...

                      My ex is a right royal pain in the a**. Divorce does that to both parties as we obviously have different agendas. No doubt we will always have a certain amount of conflict in our relationship.

                      Having said that, I have my kids probably around 50% of the time. Contracting allows me that flexibility as does moving to the same village as her (which po**ed her off no end buit is great for the kids). I hear the stories and speak to people and ultimately, I haven't got it so bad really.

                      There are those who have though, clearly...
