Justice for Men & Boys 
Why midlife divorce is good for you (as long as you’re a woman) I suppose one needs to remember this is “research” by Britain’s most prominent divorce lawyer company. However I’d suggest that given their customers will be affluent. One big reason that “midlife” divorce may be attractive is that there are likely to be some pretty substantial assets and incomes to be shared out. Husbands have perhaps paid off the mortgage(after all if they’re in their 50s they started on the housing ladder before the colossal housing price increases), built up a substantial pension and maybe investments and shares as well as a good income from their work. All of it up for grabs to give the divorcing wife substantial assets and income to underpin her job(should she have one), however part time it may be. Nice house (even if a bit smaller than you’re used to) other savings and assets, half a future pension……… no responsibilities or demands.. Why not discard the man who’s hard work and long hours made it all possible? Indeed a couple of respondents seem to think their husbands were “good” just no longer what they wanted.
Though I doubt may will agree but the truth is men are generally far more romantic than women. They’ll fall in love with the person and demonstrate this by making sacrifices of time energy and mental ease to provide for her and a family. Yet as we know the women “fall” for not the man but what he can provide, they are not so foolish to be taken in by looks or a nice smile, whats his job? is he rich? has he “prospects”. I suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise that the same calculations come in when all material provision is assured and she can go off and have fun. So having been rejected by someone who once promised to love you it also should be no surprise that its hard on the men.. It is after all them who are rejected, who have their lives turned upside down when perhaps they were expecting it to be less stressful and who still have to work because no one thinks he should rely on someone else’s assets and income to keep up his “lifestyle”.
I doubt if there was a law that said “OK you can divorce, but you’ll just get a small amount and have to sort yourself out” these women in “noon” would have given up their comfortable lives in favour of genuinely supporting themselves.

New research highlights a shortage of male mentors for boys and young men Now then I wonder why there is a problem about male mentors? Oh yes because the way this was done for all of history until late last century, was to have fathers, uncles, granddads and older brothers. Families.
