Exactly, Kenny. I wondered the same thing myself.
Molly - to be clear, no one has filed for divorce yet. The three husbands have left their wives. One gave her about thirty seconds' notice. Another friend had major issues in her marriage because of this issue, and two others have husbands who make it very clear to them that any weight gain will NOT fly.
Calliecake, the people involved are all in their late forties and these are all first marriage of approx 15 years' standing.
Milly, I read a few things about women being the ones to file for divorce...I read that a couple can be on the rocks but the husband drags his feet even if it's mostly his fault, like multiple affairs, because divorce will often cost him more. So even if the marriage break-up was instigated by the men or by their behavior, the women still end up filing so they can get whatever their share of the assets is and move on with their lives. I think this explains at least some of the disparity regarding which gender files.
