That's what the this large study by the American Sociology Association found. It's what a lot of other studies have found as well based on what women report about why they are leaving men that they still love. Unless you can produce something other than what you've decided based on nothing but your own biases and assumptions to refute these studies, you're just flapping your gums.

Edit: Justice Schanfarber writes in Why Women Leave The Men They Love that as a marriage counselor, he sees this all the time.

“Women leave because their man is not present. He’s working, golfing, gaming, watching TV, fishing… the list is long. These aren’t bad men. They’re good men. They’re good fathers. They each support their family. They’re nice, likable, but they take their wife for granted; they’re not present.”

He further says, “Your wife is not your property. She does not owe you her soul. You earn it. Day by day, moment to moment. You earn her first and foremost with your presence, your aliveness. She needs to feel it. She wants to talk to you about what matters to her and to feel you hearing her. Not nodding politely. Not placating. Definitely not playing devil’s advocate.”
