Probably because it's easier to divorce now than say, 50 odd years ago?

Because there are more sluts now and less decent caring women who want to settle down and have a family. More want to party into their 30s and never grow up thinking they are little princesses, what guy would want a woman like that!

Oscar Wilde said nobody should get married. It's just a human invention,there is no way you can be interested in the same girl forever. It's like eating the same food every day
