‘Hobbies don’t lead to divorce, unhealthy obsessions do. People often find things to get obsessed over when they are looking for escapism from a relationship they are unhappy with.

On the flip side, women or men (but I’ve mostly seen women) that harp on their SO for daring to have any interests outside of the relationship are spoiled brats and should be broken up with immediately.’

‘Any traditionally female hobbies that also provide a strong community with other women. Take knitting and crochet, for example, which have had a very strong online community for decades. Don’t get the wrong idea though, the divorce rate isn’t a result of an obsession with the craft!

No, it’s because it brings together women, especially mums, who are often too busy caring for their families to go out and socialise. It gives them the chance to share experiences and learn about concepts like the frequently uneven mental load in relationships, about emotional abuse and coercive control.

It allows them to start question. It helps to lift the fog from their eyes and it provides resources, support and education. Often, their partners are also resentful of these women (myself included) even having a hobby that’s just for them.’

‘Building your dream home together. Between the stress of dealing with your contractor, the cost, and the constant compromise so neither spouse really gets their dream, divorce is often the outcome before the house is even finished in some cases.’
