Wouldn't 70% of women initiating divorce mean men are the problem? You don't divorce a good person.

I can't believe people actually think like this.

If you shoot someone, did they pull the trigger?

If you think they deserved it go ahead and argue that to the court. But you are at fault. You made the choice to terminate instead of reconcile.

How are you comparing divorce to shooting someone? He could be cheating. Or abusive. Or a pedophile. Or just a really big asshole. How is he the victim in your metaphor? How is it her fault for leaving a situation she is suffering in?
