Over the years, I've met many people on social media, especially on platforms like Soul, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Xiaohongshu. Among them, most are divorced women. Honestly, I'm curious about their lives. Why did they choose to get divorced? What were their marriages like? Through chatting with them, I discovered that the reasons for their divorces, although seemingly complex on the surface, can all be boiled down to one core issue: the husband's reduced income! Yes, it's that simple. Other reasons, such as incompatible personalities, poor communication, and domestic violence, are all exposed after the husband's income decreases. It can be said that economic problems are the biggest killer of these marriages. But I have a friend whose wife's story surprised me. Her situation is different from others; her husband isn't someone with a low income. Yet, their marriage still came to an end. I'm curious, what led to their divorce? I decided to have a deeper conversation with her and listen to her story.
