So this is what's really fascinating.

People don't realize this, but women are far more likely to initiate divorce.

So I think the interesting statistic about this is you can look at gay couples

So gay men who get married have less than a 50 percent divorce rate.

I think they get divorced maybe 30 percent of the time.

Lesbian couples have the highest divorce rate.

So they get divorced I think something like 60 percent of the time.

So it's even greater than 50 percent.

So I did a lot of work on this because I've had so many patients who when they go through a breakup, like it really ruins their life.

And there's research on this, okay?

I'm not like misogynist or anything like that.

So if you look at qualitative research, if you ask a woman after she goes through a divorce, what did you lose?

She will say, I lost a relationship.

If you ask a man, what did you lose?

They say, I lost a life.

So this is just, it's just different.

So-

Women will oftentimes form many connections.

So when they lose their relationship, they lose a relationship.

But men are, by some amount of biology, by some amount of conditioning, by some amount of culture, oftentimes will have one emotional support in their life, which is their wife.
