Why Divorces and separation of married couples becoming so common?
According to a NYT article, in 2005, 51 percent of women said they were living without a spouse, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000.
Coupled with the fact that in 2005 married couples became a minority of all American households for the first time, the trend could ultimately shape social and workplace policies, including the ways government and employers distribute benefits.
Women are much more financially independent today than they were in 1950. Women today leave because they can. In 1950, if your husband beat you, treated you like crap or had cheated, you stayed because you couldn’t afford to leave.
A divorce rate that low tells me a whole lot of people were living in loveless marriages.
