Just my observation, it’s the woman who gets the divorce, to make it official. It’s the man who fools around, neglects his duties, doesn’t lead his wife and children, who abandons them without legal recourse. Abandonment is a reason for divorce, but it takes awhile to find a lawyer, file the right papers, get the process server, etc. Many women hang on until it actually comes to divorce in hopes he may change. Of course, his wife may have driven him away by selfishness, nagging, not keeping up with the Joneses.
Too often, men abandon their wives and children and run off to a place where the law can’t find him, or can’t be bothered to find and extradite him.
This happens in the world more often than in traditional Catholic circles, but it DOES happen. If a woman was raised in a home where the father was guilty of abuse of all sorts, it’s going to be very difficult for a woman to trust a man, even a good one.
If a man is raised to be a mama’s boy, what sort of leader and provider will he make for his wife and children? Sometimes what looks like feminism is actually necessity. It’s not that the man is a cheater or abusive, it’s just that he doesn’t do anything. A woman can be driven to act like a feminist by her husband’s sins of omission.
There are sides to every coin.
