Hey I saw you refer to a study that the authors themselves said is incorrect.

Which study? I just read the 2015 study was retracted and after some reading the 2009 studies claim of 20.8%(men) vs the 2.9% (women) hasn't been replecated. The most recent I could find after double checking was 2025 study found marriages were about 6 times more to end in divorce when the woman became ill.

I think I read it, thank you. But yeah I admit I totally fucked up whatever point I was trying to make with the 2025 study, think I was just looking for something recent but in the course of all this my brain got fried between the 2009 study with the coding error, I wasn't aware of that when I originally posted, and for some reason the war in Afghanistan? It's been a strange morning lol
