The survey, which was conducted by StepDadding.com, found that more than 61% of divorced men who are stepdads to at least one child, initiated the split. This compares to 30% of men in a traditional marriage who made the decision to leave their wife, Divorce Rate has said.
The study included respondents from the UK, the US, Canada and Australia and it was revealed that the main factors contributing to a break up for two-thirds of men is feeling unappreciated, as well as arguing over the children.
Around one-third admitted their marriage had broken down because their parenting role was 'undefined', their were problems with the children's biological father, or the children 'were out of control'.
The research aimed to look at the dynamics of a blended family.
The report states: "These are men who felt they genuinely tried to make it work.
"It's hard for a guy to succeed when he's trying to do his best version of 'stepdad' but his wife has a different vision.
"It's easy to start feeling frustrated. But it doesn't have to be that way. When couples talk about the role the stepdad will play, they can reduce the turmoil and avoid hurt feelings."
