Right.
That's why so many people are getting divorced, because a lot of women are. Are like, marrying these guys and then having children with them. They have two children, and the guy is doing nothing. His job is subpar. So she's taking care of two kids, and he's also acting like a kid and working this, like, very stressful job, and it becomes too much and they burn out. It's one of the highest forms of divorce that's happening right now. This is what all of the divorce lawyers are saying.
