"The nation's largest study on the long-term effects of divorce found that 5 years after divorce, 2/3 of the women were happier with their lives; only 50% of the men were."
Dude. Seems like society needs to give men more and better quality tools for living without women making the men's lives easier inside and outside the home and partnership. Social lives, household maintenance, etc.
