Top reasons a man leaves a woman?Page 8 of 12    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

I know this guy whose girlfriend used to slap him, belittle him in front of us, make jokes about him -calling him "my b¡tch" or similar. We kept telling him to leave her, but he was in love. They were together a couple of years. But when he finally grew some and left her, she began to cry to her friends, saying how "desperately in love with him" she was and what a jerk he was because he left her by no reason. She was completely convinced that she was the ideal girlfriend and that she had made everything to make their relationship work. When some of us told her about the times we saw her abusing him, she was astounded. Not astounded as in "I can't believe you're blaming me for doing those things". I mean, she was genuinely astounded as in "but that's how a woman should treat a boyfriend".

Every time I hear a woman talking about all the work she did for the relationship, I think about this girl.

Well clearly she enjoyed living in denial then. What a tool.

i love how women try to twist this around. men actually stick it out longer than women. It's statistically a fact that 80% of divorces are filed by women. And for hardly any reason at all other than....i want half of your stuff and go screw the pool boy. Happens more than anyone wants to admit. It's disadvantagous for a man to leave his marriage so if he does, she has got to be a real pain in the butt and even so, he sticks it out most of the time and deals with it.

So given the fact that 80% of women file for divorce first (and their lawyer usually puts something in their about the ever present and hard to prove or justify....emotional abuse) I highly doubt a woman's opinion on this matter has any credibility as to why we leave our marriage when it's a financial mess for us to do so.

So this was a question as to why men leave their marriage and because women don't like the answer (and if you look at similar questions saying anything negative about women like why we don't date single mothers) and time we give honest answer you all blast us like we have no right to EVER leave a woman. that's freaking hilarious.

it's pure victim mentality in this society. woman leaves because he was a jerk. man leaves for logical reasons. poor woman, men just weren't strong enough to kiss her butt all the time. freaking nutty world we live in.

man leaves because she's interferring with his work. woman leaves because he's a big meany and hurts her.

InNC-

You're contradicting yourself. You claim women file for divorce much more than men- and you're right there, they do. Then you claim it's because they're greedy sluts, which you are only speculating on... and then...



It's disadvantageous for a man to leave his marriage so if he does


There is your reason for why men file for divorce less. Why would they? It's disadvantageous for them. In the case of unfaithfulness, for example, men are more likely to pay for sex or have a mistress, women are more likely to actually leave for their lover.

If a man can have a mistress/hooker for hot sex and a wife to have/look after children and cook/clean for him, why on earth would he leave her, thus affecting his image/income/assets?

and

I don't know about statistics, but my observations back up what NC states. I have observed that men tend to stay in a relationship, even if it is bad **until** they have found another potential partner. I have observed that women are more likely to leave a marriage if it is bad, on those grounds alone, whether there is another waiting in the wings or not.

I certainly don't want to imply that this is always the case but it seems to be a tendancy with the broken relationships that I've witnessed.

Cuz like the song,love does not have nothing to do with it.
Some marry for respect,trust,honor,similar life styles,hopes dreams, and some marry for other.

And the other last less then prior. You do the math yet shit does happen in the best of relationships....such is life, and life is for those who live,love and move on....jmo

So true. He wants you only the way he can have you...if you don't like it, then leave. Then yes, they are the victim and the woman gets bashed---then he lets you know a long time later he would still have sex with you as you're the best he ever had???!!!
Cut the crap! LMAO!
You were his best because you loved him the best. He just couldn't love you the way any decent woman deserves.
Let them wander on thinking the grass is greener, as 2/3 of men who remarry wish they'd stayed with their 1st wives, and MOVE FORWARD WOMEN!
Now that I'm dating, I ask myself about the current bf's downfalls, "if I put up with this 2nd class treatment towards me, I then should have stayed with my ex!"
That usually results in me breaking up the relationship.
When men and women go into something new, give it your best, as you could otherwise lose the best thing you could have ever had, and realize it too late.

Hello Just Jim,

The #1 reason people marry is they have the same self esteem.

Complicated and simple, eh?
But good to keep in mind.

It's not a gender issue, it's a lack of communication issue. Be it one not talking or one not listening, end result is tragic.

She stops doing his laundry, stops cleaning his room or both... well, maybe if she cleaned his room and told to him to do his laundry... or maybe if she just told me not to....

Man, I'm so buzzed right now.

ok......and the reason they say bye bye is no self esteem? hummmm..... bummer dude!

And the main reason to be on the fora? lol

Good luck in what your priories are or self esteem,ego,etc.

Choose wisely my friend unless your blankly blank get in your way.

imo most of the posts here are pretty sorry ass as they till are in limbo but if respect,communication,honesty has gone south, imo you probably won't be getting laid any time soon! lol

Bottom line is - and it doesn't matter if you're male OR female - if you want out for whatever reason, you'll find a way. If you can't bear it one minute more, then who's to judge? The only people who can truly judge are the two in the marriage. You never really know someone though, until you try to leave them!!!

I think the initial concept of marriage was awesome, but it's a pressure cooker of stress and has evolved into something probably far from the original concept. The reasons people leave is as individualized as the person leaving.

I might someday get married again "in a perfect world", in front of God and witnesses, but NOT as far as the government is concerned.

I have to laugh at my 11 year old son, who is the hopeless romantic Don Juan - he used to talk about getting married (at age 9!!!!! lol) and one day it occurred to me, he's never actually seen a marriage that's WORKED in his circle of family and most friends. A true statement of the times.

Agreed.

But of course, he will say he has absolutely no idea why she left. They never have.

As for why men leave, I wouldn't know. The last time I was dumped was by a fifteen year old boy, when I was fourteen.

I think that this is a how long is a piece of string question and everyone has there reasons for leaving and it is usually when there is a better option or because staying is worse then the fear of the unknown or the cost of leaving whether that be financial or emotional or otherwise. They say that a lot of people that divorce once divorce again so maybe the problem isn't the reason for the break up but not learning there lessons. Maybe some people hold onto regrets and wish it were different but won't learn from it or use that to improve future relationships and what is important.

interesting question. Don't often hear that man has left woman to be with another woman of the same age. Society tells us that when we make a commitment it should last a lifetime. There are very few animals that live in monogamy...Yet we as humans choose to put that restraint on ourselves...I know many people that do achieve it, but also know that money, property, taxes etc keeps them there. How do we deny our sexuality?...

Time for some Wheaties, and get fired up for my Monday...


I am always hearing of the woman usually leaving the man, but never really hear of too many men actually leaving their wives.

So why do we keep constantly hearing the broken record, of how men are always using women?
Doesn't make sense, now does it?


I know of course that the main reason would most likely be that the woman is having an affair (correct me if I am wrong),

So why do we keep constantly hearing the broken record, of how men are like dogs in heat?
Doesn't make sense, now does it?..



but sometimes that could be a good thing in a few states that don't have no-fault divorces.

Oh, you mean a man should feel grateful that she doesn't f**k him out of his money, while she's out somewhere f**king someone else, like a dog in heat?
Ya.
That makes sense...



But really, what would it take for you as a man to finally take the woman off the back burner and really split up?

Based on what you're describing....the question is, why would he even adopt one?...



Also,what would he be willing to do to make it work ...

You mean, how low would he be willing to stoop?...



if he was holding on for other reasons than money and taxes, etc...

In that case, (like I said before..) he'd never adopt one.



like his soulmate and really does love the woman?
.

Sounds like the best thing to be "willing to do", would be to get a lobotomy, and remove that portion of his brain that's over riding his sensibilities...


Is the sex 9/10ths of it?

If "she" wants to know the truth?

Then here it is.
Capital Y, capital E, capital S.

Y E S

Why ELSE would I commit to HER, but for SEX with HER?
Why?
Who would want to commit themselves to a lifetime, without as much sex as they wanted, in their lifetime?
Who in their right mind would??

I'd rather my freedom.
Free Dom
Free of Domination....lol

I enjoy my freedom.
It's the B E S T.

The freedom to have sex, whenever I want it, as much as I want it, and the option to find it anywhere I want.

Sex is NOT that rare of an item. It's a phone call away. It's a couple of drinks with someone I've hit it off with, in a bar, away. It's a couple of clicks on a dating site, away.

Why would I trade any of that, for a lifetime of something LESS valuable?
I'm not fricken' retarded...

Sex is 9/10ths of the reason I've chosen to be committed to any woman.
Other than that, I've no need to be committed to any woman.
I don't need anything else from her, that I can't get anywhere else, and as much as I want.

Friendship, companionship, closeness, love, peace and quiet, serenity....whatever...

I don't need her, for a lifetime of happiness and fulfillment.

Why would any woman think that she is the only means for me to have ALL that?
Where would she get that notion?
Where would she even conceive of such a notion?



Sounds like you don't realize that it makes a man feel admired and good when his wife is happy.

Who says a man needs external validation?
And why would a man need her in order to feel admired?

That's a benefit only she can provide?
With her comes admiration?

I don't think I've ever laughed this hard, first thing in the morning...
Except the one winter, when my ex slipped in the driveway in her heels, and landed on her butt.
Her arms flapping at 4000 rpm trying to generate enough centrifugal force to overcome the polar moment of inertia, was a worthy of a gold medal, at the winter Olympics.

I have to admit, it was an admirable performance.
Wish I had it on film...



I know every man that I was ever with that had no problems having sex right after a horrendous fight.

I'm not bipolar.
It's not my preference for foreplay, but, my sexual desire for her doesn't cease that easily.


DAMN, I wish I could do that!!

It's in our genes.

As in "Y" the h*ll not? (Get it? Y chromosome)

We spend our whole lives trying to eliminate things from standing in our way, from what we really like.

We don't get thrown off track, that easy.

It's called "Git 'er done!"


Seems like no resentment there.

Oh...make no mistake.
The resentment is still there.
It's just another drop in the bucket.

Did you think sex was an eraser?


Just like I said, everyone likes to be admired.

Speak for yourself.


There is your reason for why men file for divorce less. Why would they? It's disadvantageous for them.

How so?
You'll have to explain how it's profitable for the man to be 'married'.


In the case of unfaithfulness, for example, men are more likely to pay for sex

Where would anyone get this notion?



f a man can have a mistress/hooker for hot sex and a wife to have/look after children and cook/clean for him, why on earth would he leave her, thus affecting his image/income/assets?

I already covered that.
I guess you missed my answer in msg# 51.

#1 reason?

Because he's better off without her.


So true. He wants you only the way he can have you...

It's called "not settling".
You try and make it sound like a bad thing.

It ain't.



Let them wander on thinking the grass is greener, as 2/3 of men who remarry wish they'd stayed with their 1st wives

Crap...

You made milk just come out of my nose...

Did you read that on a bumper sticker in a trailer park?



The #1 reason people marry is they have the same self esteem.

Really??

Then why is bigamy illegal?
See...here I was thinking because it was the ultimate commitment to someone.


Complicated and simple, eh?

If you say so...


But good to keep in mind.

If you say so...


I think if two people are in love, they don't have to be perfect for each other or like all the same things..but if they bring out the best in each other and take the time to make each other feel really loved and special...its doubtful there will be any major problems.

Not to pick nits, but you left out the bit about the "sammich"....

There are many reasons of course and including mine but primarily mine was that the fabric that got us together was broken years ago and I merely stayed on to ensure the safety and well being of the kids. One can argue about what safety and well being for the children in a loveless marriage.

But to answer the question directly, it's the sextimacy or lack there of for me

Dave Letterman might answer this question...."The top ten reasons a man leaves a woman...

Drum roll...#10......The neighbors say...the mailman delivers mail at your house at least three times per day.

Drum roll....#9.....You had sex with her mom, and found she's really hot.

Drum roll...#8......you take her fishing, and she always catches bigger fish.

Drum roll...#7.....she never cooks at home and thinks "Taco Bell" is the bomb.

Drum roll....#6.....the dog is starting to look sexy to you.

Drum roll...#5.....She lied, she really didn't win the lottery.

Drum roll...#4.....she wants you to sell the Corvette and buy a Caravan.

Drum roll...#3....She invites your male friends over to watch football and drink beer, and farts openly in front of them.

Drum roll...#2....She thinks you would look great wearing her clothes.

And the number one answer is....Drum roll....She actually thinks David Letterman is real sexy.

I know that not too long ago it seems that the man would always fight for the woman if another man was trying to move in on his woman.
I suppose now it is more the women fighting over the men. I don't just mean literally either.
Now it is easy for the man to just let it be in their favor.

I want a friend that I could nver live without in my life that I can talk to about anything and feel comfortable with and have the same things in common so we can go camping!

Can it be that two people can make it equal love instead of the woman always having to make the man sexually happy and content if that is possible?

Ya well, nowadays, women aren't too impressed with that kinda stuff anyways..

Neither is the law, for that matter.

Sucks, huh?

Does that make life difficult for you?
You'd rather it be the other way around?

I want a friend that I could nver live without in my life that I can talk to about anything and feel comfortable with and have the same things in common so we can go camping!

I thought you wanted a guy who will fight for you, and one that other women aren't fighting over?

Which is it?

Can it be that two people can make it equal love

I don't see you wanting it to be a two way street, honestly...

instead of the woman always having to make the man sexually happy and content if that is possible?

You mean like, service him, sexually?
