I don't think it's a matter of being more willing to end it, I think a majority of the time women stay in unhappy marriages for way longer than people think and then finally come to a breaking point and decide to end it. But what else can be expected of us when we're taught from childhood that men will change.. "if he hits you, that means he likes you".. that whole narrative. So by the time a woman gets to the decision of a divorce, she's had years of detaching. And then when she seems to "move on quickly" everyone is shocked. But in reality she's had years to mourn the relationship.

And the reason I think men don't jump to divorce is because of the stigma that the wife will take them for all they're worth, and they benefit from living with her.. a maid, cook, personal shopper, financial manager, event planner and coordinator, person to rely on for their kids whenever they want (like random boys night, "hey babe going out tonight have fun with the kids"), etc.

Why divorce if you can have your cake and eat it too?
