What is the most common reason couples break up?

Answer 1

If its a Heterosexual Couple, they tend to break up due to irreconsilable DIFFERENCES.

It its a Homosexual couple, they break up due to irreconsiable SIMILARITIES.

Answer 2

All the answers in here regarding money is horribly wrong and inaccurate. Think about...look at all the Hollywood relationships and marriages. Proportionately, Hollywood couples split up more than us "normal" people. So it is defintely not money. The lack of money means that life is difficult for both people.

I hate to tell you this, but I have asked this question myself many times and I honestly don't know the answer. I strongly believe it's a lack of communication. Without communication then the two people start growing apart and then end up as strangers.

If "money" really was the problem, then the couple would need to "talk" about it first and communicate to each other how to make things better.

If it is "boredom", then the person that feels bored sh old communicate with the other to see how to spice things up in their lives.

Any problem a person might have in a relationship should be addressed through communication. Also, no matter how hard it might be for the other person to hear their partner's grievances, he/she should listen with a sympathetic heart, even if it hurts.

Good communication also means listening & understanding.

Answer 3

It is control. Everyone wants to control each other be it their money or just their life's.

If both would respect each other and let them be them self and not try to control each other there would be no problems.

It is best to live together and keep all your money in your account where you and only you have control over it. If you are a little late from work what is the big deal? It is your life and you should not be controlled. Where did he or her get the right to tell someone they have to be home at a set time after work? If I like to hold the door open and let in flies then that is my way of life and if someone else don't like it you should never have thought you could control or change me to start with.

Mind your own business is the key. Your partner has every right you do so stop trying to control their business.

They made it all these years without your control so what makes someone think they need controlled now?

Answer 4

Selfishness. A lot of times people get into a relationship with their own desires and agendas, things are great when they are accomodated to but as soon as they feel like they not getting what they want they'll split to find the next person who they think can fulfill all their desires.

If we treated relationships to where both partners were in it for the sake of other person, people would stay together, because they wouldn't be so focused on what they want and all their stupid expectations, rather their concern would be for the other partner and serving their best interest. This is a idealistic thought, that doesn't happen too much, but I think the main contribruting factor in break ups is when the one persons considers their own needs greater then those of their partners

Answer 5

1.An abusive relationship. If you are in an abusive relationship, get out now! It doesn't matter if you 'think' you are still in love with him (or her) or 'know' you are in love with her. Get out now, and after, file a police report for a restraining order.

No trust. Trust is the most important part in any relationship, so if you don't have it, it's time to break up.

Found someone else. Although not always on purpose, sometimes we find another person -- perhaps a friend or colleague who we are interested in. If this is you, talk about it. Usually, interest in someone else means you aren't getting everything you want out of your current relationship. If talking about it doesn't help, it's time to break up and start something new.

Loss of interest. Many couples lose interest in their partner, not only sexually, but also as a friend. If you cannot talk to your significant other, it is definitely time to break up.

No future together. Relationships without a future is a train-wreck waiting to happen. If you want to be friends with benefits, fine. Be friends with benefits. However, if you want a real relationship but don't have a future together, get out now.

Answer 6

Everyone has their reasons i guess, there are soo many reasons why couples break up that its impossible to answer this question - Misunderstandings, bad communication, getting tired of your partner, peer pressure (caring what others think), personal problems (again comes down to bad communication) - but ultimately I guess couples break up because 'it wasn't the right person' - and when it is the 'right' person any problem can be worked out :)

Answer 7

Its going to be the lack of communication, In EVERY relationship there WILL be problems however its how the problem are communicated that will make or break a relationship. There is no such thing as a PERFECT relationship with no issues. Talk with you significant other, I'm not saying people won't split up, they just won't split up over dumb petty stuff.

Answer 8

They put sex in their relationship before it's supposed to be there. Unfortunately, couples these days have sex before they know anything about the other person. The sexual encounter clouds their reason, their judgment, and their morality.

When the sexual relationship begins to not be as fun or not be as exciting as it used to be, then each begin to see all the warts on the other person---all the idiosyncrasies that they can't stand.

If couples would be obedient and moral and keep sex in marriage, then they would spend more time getting to know each other as individuals, minds and hearts unclouded.

Answer 9

Let me repeat...$$$MONEY$$$ and coming in a close second is, SLEFISHNESS. Every other "reason" is just an appendage of these two. Infidelity stems from selfishness as does much sexual dissatisfaction. A relationship requires the two parties to be SELFLESS in order to make it work.

Answer 10

Money. It gets to be a strain on them. If one loses there job, give them time to find another one. Also one can't get pregant. This makes it hard for the woman as well as men. Communication. you have to be able to talk to each other and tell your feelings about every thing. Can't be one sided .Keep things alive no matter how long you are together. Pem

Answer 11

When they start dating, they're both sweet and modest. But then after a while of being together u start to see the truth. And then eventually couples find too many differences between them, so they just end it.
