Re: Divorced men ..
Agreed. But another important point to raise here is when a man stays quiet, regardless of whether he was in the right or wrong, it is generally assumed he was in the right. Like you said, he’s staying quiet out of moral obligation. A lot of men brush things under the carpet because they know their own actions were despicable too. So it’s best to not speak about them at all.
Whereas if a woman stays quiet, it’s assumed she has something to hide and therefore was wrong and the blame is put on her.
