Probably yes, but mainly because they're less likely to have the financial independence to afford a divorce, not because their marriage is better.

@NerdyPotato Another thing with housewives is that they often lack the support network that working wives develop through their jobs. They might not be best buddies with their colleagues, but most workplaces do look out for and act on signs of abuse.

Statistically yes, possibly because even if they’re unhappy in the marriage they may feel that they have fewer options.

A divorced woman with kids is going to be hard pressed to survive on half of her husbands salary. If he's been married before it might even be a third or less.

I don't think so, I would think it's equal.

depends on how bad their husband really is

I doubt there is any correlation.

Yeah. All they have to do is sit around all day and eat chocolate and watch soap operas.

@hunkalove Right because after cleaning the house , doing the laundry, doing the grocery shopping, making the dinner and taking the kids wherever they're going... They should find a hobby or something...
