“The implication is that men are the cause of divorce!”

Health I am sorry that you experienced a divorce so close to home.

I cannot speak for the other posters, but I can say that I did not take it as only men are abusers.

The issue is that sometimes men have more of a reputation in a community as being upstanding, so the point here is to say that being a mentch in public does not necessarily make one in private.

It is possible that the wife may be a tyrant in the home. Even so, with men having more control over finances and more opportunities, unfortunately men who are abusive get a pass in society. Even Trump is out there awaiting Presidency come January.

Yes and sometimes it is not the wife or the husband. Others that get involved may be the instigators. That includes in-laws too. Which is super unfortunate. Dunno.

Health: A blessing for you…

May you marry your zivug sheni b’karov, if you so desire.
