Pity your poor friend, he is in it till death or divorce...;)
Hey I was proud of him as he can be somewhat dense but he did try to go to counseling in his first disastrous marriage. After one visit she said it was too much trouble. She quickly ended it and pushed for a fast divorce.
And not months later she announced she was remarrying. The gardner.
No different than most I guess. 70% of divorces are initiated by women in the US I’ve heard.
Personally being a failing Catholic, I don’t believe in divorce. But I’ve yet to marry. I’m learning the lessons from my friends.
