It's sad to hear when they do. Many questions on y answers are from people who are going through breakups? It's not just here,but everywhere you look or read. What do you think are some of the reasons?

It is very sad but I think it is because relationships require a lot of hard work and most individuals do not want to make the effort. My husband and I both knew that our marriage was going to need a ton of love and nurturing and commitment from both of us and by doing so on a daily basis, our relationship stays fresh and exciting and HOT! I wish that serial monogamy would become the next Hollywood trend!

A few reasons you see so many;
1. Breaking up/ divorce is now more acceptable.
2. Having a relationship has been protrayed as the best thing for you, so many people "hook up" with someone more for the relationship than the person.
3. In my opinion, cheating has become more of a "acceptable" thing amoung many people. This leads to more break ups.
4. Lastly, you generally post advice for something that went wrong, not that went right.

even with a farly good match the strain of livng with someone 24-7 can wear the glitter off a relationship. that is why a lot of relationships fade and end after 3 to 5 yrs.you both need some time away from each other from time to time.to have something new to talk about instead of the same arguments over and over. such as what tv show your going t watch. or whose parents house are you going to for a holiday. and all those other little announg thing that get under your skin.

Its because there is not as much emphasis on commitment. In the old days, for better or worse meant just that, and no matter how rough it got, people stayed in there for the long run. It seems now that we have this great sense of self, that as soon as it starts to look bad, we get out of the relationship.
I also believe that it is directly related to the womens liberation movement and the sexual revolution, which undermined the establishment of marriage, and made popular the idea of free love. However, love is not love unless it costs you something.

I think we live in a world today where technology has opened our eys and our minds to so many new relationship possibilities -- whether it's online dating, or chat, or blogs, or Answers, or My Space, etc.
For some people it probably makes them realize that the relationship they were in was too unfulfilling, too restrictive, or just plain wrong for them. So they move on.
In other cases, I think it is simply a case of not being able to resist temptation (online porn, sex sites, adultfriendfinder, etc) and that is too bad.
I think it may take a few years to settle out, but people will eventually learn to deal with all of these new choices, temptations, and once again realize that one good relationship is ultimately the most satisfying.
10 points please :-)

People grow apart, they feel like they are losing interest in each other. I think some people give up to easier, if they see promblems. They dont talk about it, if they feel like there is a promblem. They just let the promblem go on until its too late, to try to fix it. People just dont try anymore to make it work, they give up because they are expecting perfection in a relationship. There can be a good relationship but doesnt mean it will be perfect.

Because it's so easy. People aren't willing to work things out.
Marriage is not viewed like it once was. Women are working now and not dependant on a husband. People, like me, don't feel the need for a ceramony to show your love for someone. And many couples choose to be childless, and that's really why marriage was created.
Hmmm...I'm trying to remember what else I learned in sociology,
OH! People are moving in together and see no need for marriage.
I hope I helped

Because sadly many people today aren't willing to actually put in the work needed to make a relationship last, it truly IS very sad to see so many throw in the towel at the very first sign of trouble. Those of us who took our wedding vows seriously are a dying breed I'm afraid. :-(

Unresolved disagreements, immoral family control on the part of the lady's family. Alcohol and physical abuse, money issues. There are several reasons. And what's really bad, is nobody tries to do anything about the reasons.
Tell me about yourself, blondie. Do it as if talking about someone else. I think that's called third or second person.

I guess the first is loyalty people I think people are not scared of cheating if they can get away with it then trust as I have said people are cheating so other people thinks there partner is cheating too and I think financial problems, its so hard if your problem is money because it creates and opens lots of other problems until you feel you wanna get out of the relationship.
