When I started work in 1968 there was one guy in a workforce of about 50 who was divorced. He was regarded as a bit of a curio by everyone else as divorce among the lower orders was not very common back then, women in the main having to put up with long dead relationships purely for financial reasons. Times have changed now, women have much greater financial independence and the state is more supportive of single parent families so it is much easier for them to say enough is enough when love dies. I believe around 80% of breakups are instigated by the female partner.
