Divorce Lawyer Reveals The ‘Silent Killer’ In Marriages That Men Keep Ignoring

by Jesse

Relationships can be complicated, right? From navigating life’s ups and downs to trying to keep the spark alive, it’s no wonder that sometimes things fall apart. 

But according to a divorce lawyer, there's one mistake men often make that slowly chips away at their marriages. And trust me, it’s not something that happens overnight – it’s more of a “slow burn,” and once it starts, it’s tough to stop.

Sara J. Corcoran, a divorce lawyer from Corcoran Family Law in New Jersey, took to her firm’s TikTok page to spill the beans. In a video shared in July, she breaks down what she calls the number one mistake men make in marriages. Spoiler alert: it’s not infidelity or even money problems. It’s… housework (or rather, the lack of it).

You see, as Corcoran explains, a spouse who refuses to participate in household chores can slowly breed resentment in their partner. It’s not the one-time thing that causes an explosive fight or divorce – it’s the everyday buildup of frustration when one person feels like they’re shouldering the household duties alone. 

So, what’s the solution? Simple: “Empty the dishwasher every once in a while.” And just like that, her TikTok post went viral, sparking a flood of reactions from both women and men. 

Some women were quick to chime in with agreement, saying how much they appreciate when their partners do chores without being asked.

“A lot of guys turn their wife into their mother then are shocked when she wants a divorce,” one user pointed out. Another added, “I love it when my husband does chores without me saying anything.”

Of course, it didn’t take long for a few disgruntled men to join the chat. One user vented, “That’s not a mistake. That’s a woman who wants you to do everything.” Another bitterly added, “Number one mistake we make is getting married in the first place.”

If you need further proof that a clean kitchen can lead to a happy marriage, just ask Katy Perry. During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the pop star shared that when her fiancé, Orlando Bloom, takes care of household chores, it doesn’t go unnoticed. 

In fact, Perry had an explicit take on what happens when Bloom washes the dishes: "If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean... you better be ready to get your d**k sucked."

So, the moral of the story? If you want to keep the spark alive, it might be time to roll up your sleeves and start doing some chores.

Little acts of participation can mean the world to someone who feels overwhelmed, and this seemingly small effort can make a significant difference in how connected and appreciated they feel.

In the end, your relationship stands to gain more than just a clean kitchen—you might rekindle romance, strengthen your bond, and enjoy unexpected rewards!
