I don't understand why does this "falling out of love", "Incompatbility", "Different people now" excuses are only used for women walking out whereas men are called scum and all sorts of name when they walk out. This shows a highly sexist mindset who has rationalised such sexism in the garb of feminism.
That isn't what I have seen. Both get blamed but for different reasons and judged differently. Like for example, if the guy is divorced once or twice, people are quick to judge him as someone who probably had a roving eye or was too immature for marriage, and if it a woman who is divorced, it is because she was too short tempered and couldn't adjust with her in-laws etc.
I don't know if both find it "equally" difficult or not, but neither gender find it easy to shrug off past baggage and move on easily. In India, atleast for maybe the next one or two generations - it is still possible to find someone who knows someone through their ancestral town ties or whatever, so if it is found that their past relationships didn't work out because of cheating or one was stringing the other along with no intention to commit , it isn't that easy for them to get married (I am just talking about arranged marriages among non-celebrity middle-class folk here)
If u are talking about celebs, I disagree. Men are not criticised because they just choose to walk away. It is because there is always some rumour of them cheating on their partner as a reason behind it. Either that or by some convenient coincidence, the relationships become incompatible when the men become a lot more successful than their partners.
Whether it is a man or a woman, no one is really let off lightly if there is infidelity. Hema Malini, Rekha, Sridevi, Malaika have all been criticised and called homebreakers etc.
