As for 5: men get richer after divorce on average, women poorer. However, women report higher happiness after divorce while men lower. Then again, men are more likely to find new partner faster. Not surprisingly, women who have jobs are more likely to ask for divorce and women who depend on husbands salary less so.

For all the stories about large alimony, such situation not the norm.



Whether it is or is not the norm isn't even as important. What matters is what people perceive as the norm.


Good point. But married men have more sex and unmarried have less of it. And sex now days does not lead to marriage unless you want marriage.

So I would expect divorce issues not to influence causual sex rates, but rather marriage rates.


Deadbedrooms are a thing as well. Being married limits your (ethical) options if for any reason your partner suddenly decides to no longer engage in physical intimacy.


Yes. But right now I am referring to this very set of statistics that says that married have more sex then unmarried.


Tbf I would assume if that's true it's because the men feel the need to achieve more. Thus women still do get more on alimony and child support but the men focus more on a career.
