I see this study brought up a lot, there's actually an interesting misconception that the researcher Paul Dolan failed to admit which corrupted the study. He cited the American Time Use Survey on the survey's data point of "Spouse absent", but he interpreted the meaning of the point as "spouse left the room and subject will be honest about their feelings" versus "subject is divorced or separated from the spouse". As you can imagine, this wildly changes the reason of why women are unhappy.
