Why do most spouses separate or get divorced when they grow old?

[Anonymous]

If the relationships end with divorce or separation, then what is the point of the relationship in the first place?
And what about little poor kids?
What's happening?

Miscommunication
It happens because of miscommunication
In every relationship the foundation is trust
But when it shakes than all things start to go downhill

For example, a guy who is married, goes home after a long day and finds his wife at the door like any other day, but this time he notices their is something wrong but chooses to ignore it, and because of that things start to go wrong, the thing is when we start to ignore the little things, we start to go on the wrong direction

Ask the women. They think there is a new better chapter in their life waiting out there instead of more of the same. Instead they end up alone, because the world has changed and it's not like when they dated their husband the first time.

Pretty much every time I've seen someone separate or divorced, it was something that was foreseeable and/or preventable. The root cause is pretty much always poor judgement though.

Most people are too stupid to be self aware

I don't think that's the case at all
