Am I out of touch, old fashioned or are people these days just super sensitive

I’ve got my hard hat ready. I’ve been on here a few months now and some of the things I read make me think it’s no surprise the divorce rate is so high. It seems like people in relationships don’t want to compromise and talk through any difficulties they may have and men are the public enemy number 1. Don’t get me wrong no one should stay in an abusive relationship etc of any kind. For the record I’ve been married 38 years, We’ve had our ups and downs but have worked through them which seems to be lacking these days.,

I’m reading these posts and it’s clear that women today think they can have it all.

the highest divorce rates amongst couples is lesbian couples. The lowest is gag couples. Women also initiate most divorces.

lets be clear - there is only one conclusion any logical person who is not a misandrist can draw from these figures.

women are more intolerant of things within relationships than men. That is clear. Every other explanation is just women trying to absolve blame from themselves.

I see many women today have a huge list of things they expect in a man but actually offer very little what the man wants in return.

The dating scene is so woman centric now that’s all we hear about is what ‘women want and need’.

men’s needs seem irrelevant. No wonder gay male marriages have the lowest divorce rates.

Women's standards on the whole aren't high enough. Have you seen what some women are willing to put up with from some men on these threads? Plenty of women are quick to make excuses for the useless, lazy men that are out there too.
