I’m 59, male, divorced, 2 kids.
I think it comes down to power. During the course of a relationship, dating, courting, marriage, men have most of the power.
The one time period they lose power is when they have young children. Women then have the ability to deprive them of the company of their children. If you are a man who loves his children you realize that your wife has the upper hand.
Good advice for men and women: When you are courting, pat attention to how your potential mate treats people with less power than them. Do they treat waitresses, cleaning ladies, and handymen with dignity and respect or are they dismissive and callous? Because that’s how you’ll be treating as the power relationship changes during your life.
