Most Common Reasons for Divorce

Posted on January 12, 2008 in Marriage Divorce

Divorce, the word that was taboo till sometime back, has today become the easiest solution for people having problems in marital life. Slightest tensions, slightest arguments and married couples are ready to go their separate ways. Listed here are some of the most common reasons for a marriage break-up.

Infidelity

A marriage is based on trust and the moment either of the partners breaks this trust by indulging in an extra-marital affair, you can be sure that irreparable damage has been done to the relationship. In maximum cases, the best possible way out for the aggrieved partner seems to be divorce.
 
Nosey Mother-in-law

Though it is said that a mother-in-law is like a second mother to a newly married girl, there are a few females who don’t agree with this. They regard their daughter-in-law to be a threat to their position in the family and fail to recognize that after their son gets married; he needs to give time and attention to his wife also. The result is that intentionally or unintentionally, they create problems between husband and wife, which – if it gets out of control, leads to divorce.

Unreasonable Expectations

These days, most of the people are going in for love marriages. They do not realize that things will not remain the same, as they were in the courtship period. Marriage brings with itself many responsibilities. The result is that partners are able to devote less time to their partners and might not be able to remain as patient as before. Slowly and gradually, the relationship starts to deteriorate and leads to divorce.

Lack of Physical Intimacy

Another major cause of divorce that is being recognized by the society, but not spoken about openly, is the lack of physical intimacy. In the frenzied pace of city life, people have forgotten to tell their partners how much they love them, either verbally or physically. The dissatisfaction resulting from this, combined with the fact that now men as well as women do not shy away from expressing their needs, is becoming a very common reason of divorce.
