Gray Divorce Takes a Heavier Toll on Women's Standard of Living​

Gray divorce is a term used for those who end a marriage at age 50 or older. When these late divorces occur, women pay a heavier price.

Women experienced a 45% decline in their living standards after a gray divorce, with living standards defined by comparing income to needs. By contrast, men experienced just a 21% decline.

Women are more likely to pay a financial price when a marriage ends because they are more likely to compromise or limit their careers due to homemaking responsibilities or to support their partner's ambitions. Because of the gender wage gap, women also make less than men on average, even in comparable roles.[11]

In 2023, About 5.8% of Children Under 18 Lived With Only Their Mother After Divorce​

While there’s a long-held belief that mothers are favored in custody proceedings, this is no longer necessarily true. In 2023, only 5.8% of children under 18 lived exclusively with their mother following a divorce.[29]

Shared custody has become the norm as societal views on parenting have shifted and courts and parents increasingly recognize the importance of a child continuing to build a relationship with both parents post-divorce.

🧢 don’t believe any statistics in America when it comes down to Black people it’s always gonna show us in a negative light, especially when it comes down to the black family.

Maybe it's just me but I don't see a higher divorce rate as a negative light in and of itself. I could interpret this as black people are less likely to stay in a situation that isn't working for whatever reasons just to keep up appearances or satisfy societal or familial expectations or pressures whereas others might.

Also I'm dubious about any study based on race that is about social patterns. Are Indians and arranged marriages included in the Asian "race"? Are Jamaicans and Nigerians included in the black "race" for this study?

Marriage and family is rooted in culture, not race so this whole shit is kinda stupid unless the premise is that certain people have a genetic predisposition to get divorced based on their melanin levels.

If I had to guess... Blacks seem to have the biggest issues with gender roles in the relationship.

Black women seem to struggle with being submissive. Especially when they make more money

Black men struggle with expressing their emotions. The always worried about being "respected" or looking "soft"

I don't really know too much shit about other races and couples, and I'm just speaking on what I've seen.

Or maybe the problem is black men expecting women to be submissive.
 
A couple years ago I came across stats on African American remarriage rates after divorce. I was shocked. I believe the disparity is greater than the disparity mentioned here.
 
My personal view on divorce:

NOTHING outside of abuse ( physical, verbal, etc) is irreconcilable

People just aren't willing to do the work.

And even THAT takes both people to commit fully.

My views arent a fairy tale or “in a perfect world” hypothetical.

I have lived it in my 15 years of marriage.

The things my wife and I have fought through in our marriage have taken out other marriages of people we know.

Facts.

Some folks are set in their ways and aren't willing to change even after they get married. They rather haul azzz and end it, rather than work thru it.

Breaks this down for me. Do you feel like any reason for divorce other than abuse is bullshit? Thats' what it sounds like. But Im not tryna put words in your mouth.

While I'm not discounting this study...that being numbers from 2016 stands out. That's nearly a full decade ago of people in their mid 20s who most certainly aren't living the same lives now in their 30s. I'm sure those numbers would look different in 2024

Not just that but also, we know a good deal of marriages don't last passed 5 yrs. Most not beyond 7. Also, the numbers without proper conversation about the who, why and how these things happens. Some mentioned religion, cheating, etc already here but another thing is just people growing apart. Plus, alot of marriage may last that long but have been running on damn near empty for a 3rd of the marriage.
 
My homeboy got divorced w/n a year of marrying her ex. Shyt came outta nowhere. Til this day, I STILL dunno what was the reason. Lol!

The last time I saw them together was the day after a get together we had at this house we rented in 22'. Me and him was outside talkin football after packing up. She then walked over to him wanting to talk about something. Bruh told her no, and said something like "I'm talkin to IP360". Then she walked off back inside the house lookin upset.

Not too long after that...my s/o texted me that his ex told her, my other homeboy's wife, and their cousin's gf in their group chat that she and my homeboy separated. We (his brother and their cousin) was waiting to see if he was gonna tell us in our group chat.

Nigga didn't tell us until I made a joke about me and my s/o separating. But only b/c I'd be spending a lot of time in the basement of our new crib, so she's barely gonna see me. The brotha went off on me about acting like me and my s/o are breaking up, b/c he's currently goin thru a divorce.

I acted like I was surprised at 1st. But then his brother told him we already knew, but we was just waiting for HIM to eventually tell us. After that, I haven't asked him what happened. Not my bidness. I don't think they're even on speaking terms.
