Yes, but have you ever written a book entitled, "Touch Me There! A Hands-On Guide to Your Orgasmic Hot Spots"?

I didn't think so, Mr. Smartypants.

Q: Why do you think we are experiencing an epidemic of divorce in our culture?
A: Most definitely!

Nice writing skills, Dr. Fulbright.

I stopped reading as soon as she referred to a "divorce epidemic".

"Yes!"

I_C_Weener: Husband: What do you want for your birthday?
Wife: A divorce.
Husband: Huh. I wasn't planning on spending that much.

Why do divorces cost so much?

Because they're worth it.

dahmers love zombie: I hate it when a "sex columnist" decides that she's also a marital and family therapist.

I also hate it when someone throws the "Dr". thing around all willy-nilly. Don't get me wrong -- I have a Ph.D. And as such, I'm a "real" doctor (unlike MDs, who have glorified Masters Degrees. Ask your GP what his dissertation was on sometime...). What I don't do, forgodssake, is insist that "Dr." be placed in front of my name every freaking time it's written out. Outside of the classroom itself, it's rare that I would note it at all.

oh, like you're a REAL zombie. I bet you haven't even died yet.

I think it all goes back to what Cindy Lauper said; "Girls just wan to have fun." They get bored in a marriage and now there is considerably less stigma attached to divorced women, so they are more likely to take that option.

So does "Dr. Yvonne" look good naked?

My mom is dating a guy with a PhD in business who disagrees. But then again he has a PhD in Business.

Divorce is prevalent because Generation X'ers are more prone to give up than their parents were. A spoiled and lost generation of men and women with a falty sense of entitlement get married. With no God in their lives or even the ability or DESIRE to learn how to lay down a proper foundation for marriage, the result is a failure in over half the marriages.


/or maybe the biatches be crazy!

You know who's a bigger loser than your ex?

The person who married him or her (you).


/why do people think that railing on about their ex doesn't speak poorly of themselves?
//oh, that's right , they "changed" once they were married to you

No good lawyer would ever advise a man to enter into a marriage contract.

Unless you're dead set on having children there's no good reason to do so (unless you're both really old and can share cans of cat food and/or insurance).

Any horn dog who is about to screw up and "take the plunge" should read a few articles here:

NoMarriage.com (new window)

Marriage is an outdated societal/religious construct that is in direct opposition to Nature and the way men are wired. Leave it for the hopelessly clueless, the ignorant faithful, and the breeders.

I play a doctor on the internet so I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

It must be nice to have all the answers.

I used to run a chat room on IRC, and remember a kid giving a speech about "why people get divorced." He was 19 and had never even had a girlfriend.

I take the "expertise" in TFA just as seriously.

/we mad doctors don't make much money either

As a person going through a divorce right now, I can concur. They are worth every penny.

/It's nice to have a younger boyfriend too!

Dr. Flavenglaven-I play a doctor on the internet so I'm getting a kick out of these replies...

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once?

From the article:

Women's rights have also played a role in that we have a lot more choices these days. We women are not only moving into the workforce and putting in long hours, but we're making more money and are the breadwinner in many unions as well.

Yet we daily read how women are unable to earn as much as men and the glass ceiling and such. Go figure.

And this leads to increased marital tension in some homes. Better educated and with more economic opportunities, women now have the option of taking care of themselves if they choose to leave a marriage.

The tension comes from eschewing marital relations in favor of having a career be the End All Be All of the marriage. A situation that belongs to neither gender exclusively, women are just now entering that realm and are by golly gosh darn proud of their being able to neglect the family like Dear Old Dad used to. What empowerment.

Her note on females leaving the marriage is of course correct. Most divorces are filed by women.

We don't have to stay in bad marriages. We're able to take care of ourselves and our children.

Only insofar as you have a court system rigged to treat you preferentially and as if you can do no wrong because you're female, then yeah.

People have seen their parents and other people in their family get divorced, so they see it as an easy out. They've been shown that if things get rough, they can just leave. While some unions aren't meant to last for very good reason, e.g., spousal abuse, many are choosing to take the easy way out instead of dealing with issues.

Given that the vast majority of divorces in the U.S. are initiated by women, that raises an interesting point doesn't it?

And last:

Q: Why is it that fertilized grass grows better than unfertilized grass!
A: Yes!

1) people making bad decisions;
2) issues involving female empowerment; and
3) people having a warped sense of what commitment is all about.

#4--Too much prOn

Incredibly, all my ex-wives DID NOT enjoy all that anal sex...

ThatGuyGreg: The Onanist: Yes. Yes they are.

That.

The other thing.

Since my divorce three years ago, I've been able to erase ALL my debt. I actually have a savings account again, and I'm having more sex with more partners.

Getting rid of that alcoholic, 150lb boat anchor drug addict of a spouse was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Yossarian22: Divorce is prevalent because Generation X'ers are more prone to give up than their parents were. A spoiled and lost generation of men and women with a falty sense of entitlement get married.

Yeah, the baby boomers taught us well. Spend, don't save, elect leaders that will bankrupt the country. A bunch of narcissistic assholes are bound to breed the same thing.
