betrayal is the main reason, but it all begins with inability to communicate, not feeling safe emotionally with that person, not feeling loved.

They are not compatible.
Society.
They don't try to make it work.

Unrealistic expectations and a failure to communicate.

Finances, Unable to communicate with one another and infidelity.

Miscommunication -- and especially not being able to talk things through. One of the most serious is about money. We all fight about WHAT WE DON'T HAVE --- doesn't make sense does it? We should talk about how to fix it or live with what we have rather than fighting about something that isn't there!! Make sense?


McDaniel
Nobody is willing to compromise. They forget that's its a team now. Not you and me anymore. No communication. Some feel trapped. People don't do the same thing that got them to that point. They think that this is it. Like its magic when in fact its a lot of hard work.


No one of consequence
Because we live in a world where we've learned to care more about our own wants and needs than those of anyone around us, and where convenience is top priority. If you get irritated with someone, they become an inconvenience, so get rid of them. It takes hard work to make a relationship last. We've become lazy!
Basically, because we are all selfish!!!

The plain and simple truth is that most people settle, as they fear - above all other things - being alone. And that fear is not going to keep two people together when things get rough.


rosa_giffin
they get used to each other and that leads to being taken for granted.....then the boredom.......and the loneliness. Happiness could be found in a change.


autumn
Poor or no communication, lack of commitment, went into it for the wrong reasons, abuse, no moral character.

People have idealistic views of love. They rush into marriage declaring undying love for each other and then when the excitement dies down and they realise there's nothing left over as they had nothing in common, that's when they get a divorce.

The fact that divorce is so easy to obtain leads to a lot of rushed unready marriages which equals more divorces. It's a neverending loop.

They don't give importance to sanctity of marriage.
no sense of family values
selfishness
no sense of sacrifice
no sense of endurance
no true love between the couple
no friendship between the couple

I think it's because people tend to blame the people around them for their own unhappiness. I think there would be less divorce if we could all learn to take responsibility for our own emotions.

They lose connection with each other because at first they talk to each other about everything and lately can't communicate without having an argument.Another reason could be abuse and cheating whether its emotional or physically.Loss of trust could also be a main reason.Some people may show their true colors after marriage and their spouse may not like who they really are.There are many reasons but I feel these are the main ones.

Abuse, money problems, infidelity, falling out of love, being unable or unwilling to work through problems...finding someone else.


Rick
Before I ever answer any question, I always read the answers that people have already given, and I try to find one that I agree with, and sometimes I rate the one I like the most...

Here, I actually agreed with almost everyone

So my answer is this, everyone has their own reasons, and all of the reasons above are valid.

Seriously, the main reason people get divorced is because they rush into it. They go out on a couple dates, become infatuated with each other, and decide to get married. However, when the infatuation wears off, they run into problems, because they never really connected beyond the shallow level.

This is not to say ALL divorces spring from this, but I imagine the majority of those not involving affairs and/or physical abuse do.

I got my first and only divorce because I did not know him long or well enough before we got married.

Lack of committment and not being ready to commit.
Finances, cheating & lieing!
I really believe most people just aren't ready and get married way to soon before they really get to know each other.

lack of commitment to REALLY try to work things out. the fact that divorce is now acceptable and now wanting to compromise in a mature relationship


pun82224
Many reason..cheaters, being abused,other partner drinking way to much. There are many resons why. A man wanting to be a woman or vista versa.


Oh it's me!

Selfishness and an unwilling spirit. When unwilling to work on a marriage, it will fail.
