The association between the divorce status of individuals and its effect within a friendship circle is essentially narrowed down to three possibilities:

  1. Influence, where one person’s divorce can influence another person’s choices.
  2. Homophily, which is more of a correlation than a cause-and-effect situation, here it is assumed that divorced people tend to find themselves due to a common ground.
  3. Confounding, where individuals jointly experience similar exposures that can increase the likelihood of divorce (McDermott et al., 2013).

In the study carried out in 2014, it was found that there was a significant relationship between a person’s likelihood of divorce when their friend was also divorced. In fact, the influence of friendship on divorce was so significant that it was also found that the likelihood of divorce did not just affect direct friendships but also indirect friendships i.e. individuals who get divorced, do not only influence their friends but also their friend’s friend (McDermott et al., 2013).

This is unsurprising. I just don't believe that it is gender locked. Men absolutely do this shyt too sometimes. I've seen it.

Keep your circle healthy and full of the right people. :manny:

This is basic adulting.

Nah... I ain't never seen that.
U even see it on thecoli as well as real life.

nikkaz be too busy trying to tell single nikkaz to get married. U gonna die alone, etc.

If a nikka finally chooses a bytch to.marry, he usually isn't going anywhere. He probably couldn't even get another bytch.
He probably cheat or pay for a "massage". But he aint trying to get a divorce.
Statistics show that.

Women are always looking for the next come up. Or what they perceive as a better option.
And if their homegirl or sister divorces and shes out living her life. With a new "better" nikka. Ur wife is gonna get that itch too

This isn't surprising.

I imagine that if someone is unhappy in a marriage, the stigma of a divorce and fear of what happens next would hold them back on making the decision to end things.

This isn't even me being an advocate for divorce. It is just the reality of how people take quitting. It is easier to do when you know others would do the same.
