Well, married women are more at risk for murder than single women....according to some studies. So, maybe murder doesn't really equal divorce or badly behaved...

"A study at the University of Missouri claimed that women are more likely to be murdered while married, while a criminologist in Washington DC suggested that a drop in the U.S. murder rate was due to the falling number of marriages."

-the interwebs

I think I’ll challenge this one too …

I can absolutely believe that many more divorces are initiated by women. I can also believe there are both good and not so good reasons for this fact. As a man, this makes me think I should be very cautious (reluctant?) to marry again.

That's pretty much my reaction too.

Especially, as in your case, if you intend to have a child.

About 60% of the population is married.

I've often read that domestic violence is more a problem for unmarried women.

You lost me here, frog.
Domestic violence implies cohabitation.
Are you saying that a piece of paper is a contributing factor?

This is an interesting digression, but pretty off-topic to the thread at this point. So, I'm going to suggest bringing it to a close in this thread. But, feel free to start a new thread for continued discussion.

I've pretty much been away from the boards for a while. Are you unlaterally ending threads now?

I work w/ a woman who had been married a decade. During that time, neither she nor her husband wanted children. They changed their minds and had one when she was 39; the next year, she had twins, and a year or two later, she had another baby.

A year later, her husband, whom she had "known" for over a decade, took off to North Carolina to FIND HIMSELF.

I won't repeat what she said.

It took her 5 years to get over feeling so angry. And her kids? Thank God she has a strong support system w/ her mother and sister, b/c honestly, there were times when I didn't think she was going to make it.
