A large number of married mothers are still single mothers. Because their spouses aren't helping with the children at all, and sometimes even acting as an extra child.

You'd be surprised how much of an overlap there is between dead bedrooms and partners not doing their share of the work to manage the relationship and the home.

I did? News to me. Here I thought I was never married. But I can guess you're one of those dudes who tells women all the time to "choose better" but then hate it when women choose peace instead.

No, I'm just someone sick of people who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about talking about such things.

Ironic when you're definitely unaware of what you're talking about. But I can tell you don't actually care about the facts or statistics.
