For today’s article, I will be discussing why the lesbian divorce rate is much higher than the divorce rate between men on average; 100 women and 45 men are divorced per year.

The Lesbian divorce rate is 14%, and the Gay Male divorce rate is 7%.

The reason why lesbian women are more likely to get divorced, according to the National Health Service for England, has reported the finding of the National Institute for Health women are more likely to experience a negative form of emotions.

Numerous studies have shown that, compared with men, women usually experience more frequent and stronger negative emotions.

This may explain why more women are more prone to mood disorders adopted a priming paradigm and found that negative stimuli reduce the priming effects on women.

Due to women, on average, being more vulnerable to negative emotions, they are much more likely to get divorced and experience negativity and negative emotions within any relationship.

Also, women engage in negative behaviour through reputational destruction and using emotional warfare to target the person with whom they disagree.

Furthermore, when women dislike another person, they don’t just say it.
