What percentage of men leave NOT for another woman?

[Grobagsforever]

I was talking to a friend recently and we realised that, in our social circles (we both have very wide social circles).

1. Men rarely end relationships
2. We couldn't think of a single example of anyone we knew being left by a man unless there was another woman on the scene. He might not start relationship straight away but she would definitely be in the wings, so to speak.

It surprised us both we couldn't even think of one man between us who'd chosen to be alone.

Pitiful isn't it?

Maybe sometimes when a man leaves and it's not to go to another woman, it can still indirectly be 'woman driven' in that he feels he wants to shag about.

He may not yet have actually done it, but his desire to sleep with women other than his wife/girfriend is such that he leaves a settled relationship in order to date and have sex with as many other women as possible.

I don't know whether this is admirable (he leaves the relationship rather than cheating) or reprehensible...

Similarly to another poster, a colleague friend of mine ended his marriage about a year ago, moved out, and has done literally nothing since then except go to work and play Grand Theft Auto. No other women.

He has barely had the children either, but what’s interesting is that when he was living with his family, he spent every possible hour in the office — it’s a very flexible job, and normal to wfh two days a week, but he never did. I used to just think he was an inefficient worker, but now that he’s not married, he works far shorter days, fewer of them, and no longer ever goes in at weekends.

I can only conclude that staying at home is much more fun when you don’t have to look after your children and can live on your PS4.

To be honest, I’m not sure whether it’s worse or better to be left for another relationship or because your husband chose GTA over you and your children...?

I know a guy who worked out he could afford his DW & DC or his boat. Boat won.

Someone said men cant be alone but yes they can. I have variously lived alone and with partners and i can do both equally well. Im sure im not alone.
