Not only offensive words can destroy a marriage. There are a number of other reasons why lovers decide to break up and build their lives separately from each other in the future. Experts from various fields, such as psychologists, lawyers and social workers, spoke about the common reasons for divorce and their origins.
Different views
It often happens that the couple avoids important conversations, which leads to the deterioration of the relationship and misunderstandings. Massachusetts attorney Julia Rueschemeyer notes the lack of communication between ex-lovers who have different expectations about work and finances.
Financial conflicts
Financial problems are one of the most common reasons for divorce. Derek Jacques, owner of a Detroit law firm, notes that addressing financial issues through open communication can help couples find a compromise and resolve the situation.
Unequal roles
Improper division of labor can also lead to divorce. According to Rüschemeyer, when the role of the father and mother is unevenly distributed, it can cause conflicts and distance in the relationship.
Different expectations
Couples break up when they realize that they have significant differences in their views on life and the future. According to attorney Clint Brasher, a mismatch in demands and goals can create a rift that makes it difficult for a relationship to continue.
Emotional distance
Divorce often occurs because of a lack of love and understanding for each other. Psychologist Rod Mitchell emphasizes that emotional distance can be a key point in the breakup of a partnership.
Disloyalty
Betrayal of one partner destroys trust and leads to irreparable problems. Clinical manager Michelle English points out that infidelity can lead to divorce for a significant number of couples.
Developing personalities
Personality development over time can lead to estrangement from partners. A marriage can break up not because of conflicts, but because of personal growth, which makes it impossible to continue to exist as a couple.
Unresolved issues
Conflicts that are not resolved for years can lead to the breakdown of relationships. Unresolved issues and lack of communication can quickly undermine the foundation of a relationship.
Lack of intimate relationships
A lack of physical and emotional intimacy can lead to loneliness and dissatisfaction, which in turn can lead to divorce, notes licensed psychotherapist Gary Tucker.
Lack of trust
Lack of trust arises from insincerity and often leads to divorce. It both expands and destroys relationships, notes clinical social worker Heather Wilson
