Common causes of divorce
There are many reasons why people want a divorce. It may be easy to give a reason to support a divorce petition. In reality, however, there may be hundreds of unique reasons why certain couples simply want to date. Sometimes there is more than just one reason. These are just some of the possible causes of divorce:
Communication problems
Communication problems may exist between a couple even long before they are married. Expectations may not have been clarified or certain topics that could affect a marriage were not mentioned. Talking about feelings about things that are personally important is also essential, but couples may not always practice it. Some couples may downplay premarital issues only to realize during marriage that they should have clearly black-and-white or that they should have listened better. Communication problems before marriage can get worse after getting married.
Financial problems
Money or aspects related to it is, of course, a possible cause of disagreement between couples. Married couples could argue over issues such as shared financial responsibility, uneven financial situation, undisclosed financial status, overspending, and lack of financial support. However, the evidence suggests that money is not always the only or main cause of divorce. However, it is still a significant factor. Again, lack of communication on financial matters is the real culprit here and not money per se.
Forms of abuse
There are many forms of abuse, all of which are possible grounds for divorce. This doesn’t just include intentional and habitual physical assault. Abuse can also take the form of sexual abuse and emotional abuse. One partner may actively seek to demean his partner through harsh language.
Drug and alcohol abuse, as well as excessive gambling that is becoming detrimental to the marriage, can also be used as a form of abuse. There may be no physical or verbal abuse, but the other partner is understandably having a difficult time managing finances and daily life with an addicted spouse.
Marital infidelity
The marriage law that is common in monogamous societies states that marriage must be a mutually exclusive agreement between two parties. This is, of course, unless both members of the couple consent privately and on their own to see other people while they remain married to each other. Otherwise, you can try to divorce a spouse if you clearly get evidence of infidelity.
Sexual problems
Sex is an essential aspect of marriage. Couples are expected to consume or perform the act. That is unless a person knows and accepts before marriage that one of the members of the couple has some sexual problems. In some cases, sexual dysfunction or disinterest may begin after marriage. If a couple can’t figure this out, it can become grounds for divorce.
Incompatibility
This is often cited as one of the causes of divorce. However, there are many types and forms of incompatibility. A partner can be incompatible in everything. They may not be able to find sexual, intellectual, and emotional common ground. In cases of incompatibility, it could be excruciating to live life with someone you just can’t fit in with.
