The study analyzed more than 5,300 same-sex couples, including about 3,412 female-female couples and 1,892 male-male pairings. It also examined over 450,000 different-sex couples. Within a decade of marriage, 41% of lesbian couples had divorced, compared with 27% of gay male couples and 22% of heterosexual couples. After adjusting for age, education, and nationality, researchers found that lesbian couples were more than twice as likely to divorce as heterosexual couples. They were also about 20% more likely to separate than gay male couples.

/---/ Because both lesbians are married to women. Nuff said.

Lesbians are still women, and women gonna be women

I can only speak from personal experience in a former heterosexual marriage, perhaps ALL women are very violent to their spouses...

Women initiate most divorces
Two women doubles your chances

Women initiate most divorces.
Across multiple studies in the U.S. and other Western countries:

• About 65–70% of divorces are initiated by women
• Men initiate about 30–35%

No one can drive me crazy faster than a woman, tbh. Okay, I adore my daughter, sister, and good friends but c'mon. Men are certainly men but also....women. Yeah

True. It's interesting that Gay male divorce rate is quite low at 27 percent.

Since it was legalized Legitimized in the late 80s & early 90s in Vermont and Hawaii up to 80% of Lesbian Marriages have ended in divorce

Because gay married men are not monogamous. They aren't "married".

Sorta funny, ennit? Lesbians do not want to marry a man but they sure as hell still use dildos.

When you have two masters, who leads? Neither. They both fight to try and dominate. So, they end up unhappy and divorce. Or, they get tired of each other giddiness.

Regardless of sexual orientation women place unreasonable demands on their partners. Now you have two women placing these demands on each other. What could go wrong?

Yep, that's pretty much what I wrote, "When you have two masters, who leads? Neither. They both fight to try and dominate. So, they end up unhappy and divorce. Or, they get tired of each other giddiness."

I have not seen evidence to support that.

Most gay males I talk to, I find out that they are very promiscuous. I don't ask, they end up wanting to tell me for some reason.

And being guys, neither usually cares.

In fact, that is why gay males account for well over 60% of STD cases, even though they are below 10% of the population.
