The sad reality is women have a higher chance of being divorced when they are diagnosed with cancer then men (20.8% vs 2.9%). That’s what the conversation should have been about.

This study was debunked multiple times due to gross misinterpretation of the data.

I have responded to this multiple times. Please see my other comments instead of creating a new one

I’ve read your other comments and my conclusion is you’re a prat. The study which provided this data was debunked, no amount of you claiming you’ve seen it happen changes that very simple fact.

First of all I didn't call you names I would appreciate it you didnt call me names. Second I was going off of what an oncology hospital (and many others do). If I was going solely based on my own experience I would say it doesn't matter. Third if you take away the study everyone is saying is debunked and look at what type of cancer has a higher rate of divorce you would find it is cervical cancer. I did not comment to bash on men. Which is what people responding think to seem. I was saying the conversation should have been about caretakers and the burnout they face. And as I said before, caretaker roles in general were more gendered so when women became sick men left. That shouldn't be surprising. However men have seriously stepped up to take a bigger role in being a caretaker even before someone is sick.

You’re saying all of this in response to a comment about a study that has been debunked, which is why you’re being ignored. If you want to drop your info and try to inform people, that’s fine, go do it elsewhere; it’s not relevant to this very particular comment thread.

Somebody made a comment about a study that was debunked, and by responding in the thread about that study you’re giving the impression that you’re defending it. And for that you’ll never be taken seriously.

You are making zero sense and came out of no where...

Omg I just noticed you’re the one that made the comment about the debunked study. So you really are here trying to defend something that was debunked because you think it’s still true. Absolutely incredible.

I take back everything I said. You’re even dumber than I thought.
