@Desconhecida One of the reason why the divorce rate is so high these days are infidelity from both parties.
Because everyone wants to dip out the moment they are the slightest bit uncomfortable. A marriage is a commitment and work.
Because most relationships do not have a solid foundation of "Friendship" People have not worked on themselves and sorted themselves out. People stay out of fear, predictability and comfort.
Because people have choices now they don’t stick together anymore because they have to depend on another person. Now you can financially do things by yourself. As a woman. Everybody’s in pursuit of happiness and men to
It's just easier to run away from the problem than to fix it. And people are lazy.
Before people were the same, but society didn't endorse being single.
And no - I do not say every divorce is like this. But most.
Because it can happen for any reason. Usually you'd need to have reasons like abuse, cheating or some other violation of the contract but for the most part that's gone. You can initiate the divorce because you're bored if you want to.
Plus the benefits of divorce don't go away and statistically speaking women are more likely to win those benefits so I think that plays a big role on why women are more likely to initiate it.
High expectations, poor levels of respect, changing life goals, longer working hours, social media...
Also poor communication.
I think the divorce rate is high because more people are getting married so if people don’t get married they will not get a divorce.
Because marriage is no longer treated as a forever thing! There's an escape clause so, go right ahead and get married today! You can always divorce them tomorrow!
You could always get divorced back then also lol
@Angie221994 True but, these days, marriage is nothing more than a suit of clothes! You wear them for a day or so and, when you get tired of them, throw them out and get a new set.
Hypergamy. Unrealistic Disney princess expectations. Unstable job market.
because people think there in love and marry fast without even getting to know each other and start getting touchy and touchy and forget that when people marry is not because of physical attraction but for true love.
Because we are brain washed, we don’t truly love that person, love is based on what you have/ can give, we lose interest easily , commitment is easily said than done, one party love more than the other, we get bored easily plus a lot more reasons
Because people are quick to marry in the phase where everything is happy and have no basis to work with in regards to conflict.
It isn't
Any fuckwit can get "married," these days. Some even do it just for the occasion.
It's not? It's actually going down considerably. This is also true for marriages as well though.
Lol downvoted for disagreeing… gotta love stupid people right lol
@VanillaSalt Nah, not sure why I would get downvoted for the truth but I won't say anyone is dumb. Just need better research. Doesn't help them that I did a topic on this recently and did the research already.
I said their dumb you don’t have too… downvote without an opinion or argument. What’s the point of that.
They're not... They're the lowest they're ever been in the last like 50 years...
https://ibb.co/3mm4tgB
compromise. You either have a guy who is a fucking toolbag who thinks his shit dont stink. Loves the fumes from a Far Right Channel. Zero Compromise, Zero Communication. Will I talk against a woman - Fuck No. Im not that stupid
they probably marry too soon when they're not mature enough yet
Because concept of marriage itself is a scam!
Very soon we'll be having artificial wombs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_womb
Men will no longer need women to bear their child.
Because of a lack of true commitment, especially among today's women. Today 70% of divorces are filed by women. Until we address that simple fact, the institution of marriage will continue to go down the toilet.
Have you been outside? People are not the brightest. But really, they are in relationships for the wrong reasons
Because women know they have rights now. Therefore they don't have to stay stuck in dead end marriages
Need for instant gratification, glorification of low morale, changing society & values + outside influences, also people realizing they're just probably not compatible
because society has become a slave to capitalism. Everyone is so selfish. morality has been destroyed. people abandoned their creator and the book God sent.
Statistics state women are the ones who divorce more often. I think 70% of divorces are initiated by women.
Who cares It's good for business all those wedding bands for my furnace and diamond bits to sell to my other dealers
Many many different reasons, on of which being that women now have financial independence. The good thing though is that divorce rates are going down.
Because no ones getting married. Break up and cheating rates still higher than ever
@RandomDude212121 actually lots of people are still getting married. It would appear that people are just making better choices in regard to whom they are marrying
Actually no the marriage rate has fallen like 5x
Since 2010
@RandomDude212121 51 percent of adults aged 18 and older in the United States were married in 2010, compared with 72 percent in 1960... that's a 21% decline... over the span of 50 years. I don't know where you got 5X less but that is incorrect. You also have to take into account that before 1970 women weren't allowed to open a line of credit unless her husband cosigned. Marriage rates have dropped due to the increase in cohabitation and female financial independence.
Do some basic googling. There were 35 marriages per 1000 in 2010. In 2020 there was 6.1. Its worse than i even said.
People eventually just get tired of each other. Once the honeymoon phase passes by and the years pass, you tend to get tired of being with the same person.
I don’t think it’s because they get tired of the other person. When you have intense passion for someone , it usually doesn’t tend to go away. I think it’s because this person had flaws they didn’t like during the beginning but learned to tolerate it through an extended period of time. Soon as the intensity of the passion fades as the years go by , the flaws end up appearing bigger and bigger and more problematic. This is when people start to fight and get unhappy
@shaysh87: Its my point. Every relationship starts out fun and with passion. As time goes on the passion fades and people just start to get tired of each other B. S. over the years.
In the beginning you happily tolerate or ignore their b. s but not as time go on.
A race is always won in the beggening. A relationship thats based on false pretense never starts. The divorced consides and reienforces the wrongs that were bonded instead of the rights.
Because feminism has destroyed male/female gender roles.
Because being married is no longer a survival necessity.
Hookup culture.
Pornography
This leads to getting bored quickly with one partner after one year.
Because younger people may not handle issues and work through them correctly or at all! I think they may be of the mindset that of things don’t work we will just divorce and they don’t think that is a big deal.
People expect more from their partners, putting less effort.
If partnering for life was a natural human trait, we wouldn't need laws to enforce it. The more lax those laws are, the more irrelevant marriage becomes
Most divorces are initiated by women - most divorce laws heavily favour women.
Women are incentivized to divorce, and so they do.
Because women benefit from divorce and take half of everything a man owns and they almost never lose in divorce, which is why almost 80% of divorces are initiated by women.
Because people are able to get divorced and also marriages in general are terrible idea.
Marrying in haste, the two parties not getting to know each other.
Women have realized that they can make a lot of money in divorces.
Ain't that the truth. That's why I refuse to ever get married
My mom made $500k. My dad had to spend $500k and then pay back the loan
@RandomDude212121 Men lose their children and get financially *raped* in divorces. NEVER get married!
doesn't matter if u get married or not from what I understand, a good lawyer can still assist a woman in suing u in court.
It was literally like she said "im leaving" and the court said "ok, he has to pay you the price of the house to stay in the house he bought when you go."
@RandomDude212121 True.
- Money problems
- Infidelity (one of them was cheating)
- Entering a marriage for fun
- Entering a marriage and thinking it's gonna be full of rainbows and unicorns
People are incapable of working on themselves and their problems, instead they rather fuck around or not deal with it at all
Intolerance, a lack of sympathy, zilch active listening, miscommunication, vested monetary interests elsewhere and divulging priorities.
People marry wrong person they figure they will change for better but they dont
Because women are more independent and it's less taboo.
Cuz everybody's a f****** lazy twit doesn't want to f****** work for anything they want to go the easy way
because we as a human race are settling too easily.
and it seems that no one is happy since we are of course humans.
They would rather just move on and get divorced as soon as it gets a little tough. Marriage takes hard work for it to be successful.
Because people rush into things out of desperation, expect instantaneous results and give up too fast when things don't work out
People no longer believe the threats given by religion.
It's been that way since the Tudor's. It's that highschool romance over and over and over and over.
Because people are getting married for the wrong reasons.
Only in Western countries actually in Asian countries its not that high
Because it’s work and people don’t want to work on their marriage, people just leave so easily, finances have a lot to do with it also in this day and age
Because people focus on material things only but not love, care n personality.
People don't think of marriage as a life-long commitment. Something to enjoy and cherish.
Women have a choice. When they didn’t, divorce rates were lower. damn hippies.
The generation and false impression or and high standards
I see high standards being one of the biggest problems. Men used to bring home the money while women cared for the kids and home. Now a lot of men don't know what to do career wise and women become lazy so everything falls apart. A lot of people also have ridiculous standards now and can't bring anything to the table themselves
Because they didn’t love one another to begin with.
