Why do People Divorce?

Nowadays it is surprising of how many people are divorcing, when the only thing people talk about is love. However most people have different reasons why they want to divorce, and what is surprising is why those people choose to remarry again.

When commitment becomes low in one of partners, or when one partner did not find what he/she expected in marriage he may choose to walk away. People who are used to infidelity may find it hard to leave the habit even if they are in marriage making the offended party want to leave. If there is lack of communication between partners, they may not be able to solve their problem easily, leading to divorce. Substance addiction also of one partner may force the other partner to leave if a partner has changed behavior as a result of substance abuse or if there is no money to support the abuse. Some people leave if there is a problem of emotional, physical or sexual abuse. If there is difference between partners expectations, career goals, financial problems and many more.

Some researches have found out that most of people who have stayed in marriage less than 7 years before divorcing are a result of conflict and people who had stayed together at least more than 10 years divorce because of loss of connection and intimacy.

People who are likely to get divorced are people who get easily angry, jealous, lack of money management, and who are in an affair. Children of divorced children have up to 87% chances to divorce if only the parents of the wife have divorced. If both partners have family which had divorced, it is up to 62% chances that they will divorce in less than 4 years in their marriage.

Marriage of at least 5 to 10 years, the children of families that have divorced reduce to 41% and to 160% if the parents of all partners have divorced. However for the families who stayed at least more than 11 years the history of parents who had divorced does not contribute to divorcing couples.

The mere reasons why divorcing families are on increase is that most of partners want to live as they want without remembering that they have to give a chance to another partner. Sometime they do have high expectations and if they do not find what they wanted, they feel cheated and they do not enjoy the marriage, this lead to divorce.

Sometime families decide to divorce however if they have sat together they should have reached a compromise through negotiation.

Infidelity is also one of the reasons that lead to divorce; more than 90% of people who divorce for the first time insist that infidelity is the reason why they are divorcing. Even if it was believed that only men were involved in infidelity, now women and men are equal and it is believed that at least 30 percent of children who are born are not really children of the people they know as their fathers.
