It seems to me that the number cause of all divorces is infidelity, NOT financial problem. Do you agree ?

Answer 1

It seems true. At least for everyone I know. But I think it is the inability to be able to keep your promise. Lots of fair weather folks out there. Even the married ones. Not very good advertising for their product, are they?

Answer 2

I know a lot of people who have been divorced. Infidelity was only the issue in one of them. I think there are just way too many issues that can lead a once happy couple to divorce. Financial issues can also be a problem, but what I have seen most is just communication breakdowns. The partners over time just don't seem to try to care for each other anymore. They don't include them in anything and want far more space than I think they did in the beginning.

I don't know what the number one cause is, but even infidelity has a deeper cause than just the act. It all sucks though. It is a shame that someones life direction can change so dramatically. Though sometimes it is for the best when some people get married for the wrong reasons.

Answer 3

Infidelity happens even when you have no money problems, but I would say having financial problems has to be a major reason why people divorce....mainly because it can be so stressfull and scary that couples are most likely to act differently towards their partners....have many arguments, get depressed, lie about spending habits etc...sure sounds the same when someone is cheating, but I'm talking about when all is on the table, and then comparing both ...
Infidelity, although wrong and can seem like the end of the world...trust can be built back up if both couples want to make the relationship work, but sometimes if you have so many worries about finance...it can seem like you will never be able to get yourself out of it, and for many it can take years before they do...
Someone in my family (a multi millionaire), lives a double life and has a kid and girlfriend in another country ...but he and his wife have been living a sham marriage for the last 15 yrs....he won't divorce her though...because it will cost him to much!!
so that's another side why people actually won't get divorced because of financial reasons. lol

Answer 4

NOT at all; divorce happens for as many reasons as there are people going through them.
YES some are infidelity; some because the couple realise that they NEVER should have gotten married in the first place; some because one person outgrows the other; in some cases 1 partner gets seroiusly ill & the other one is too immature to provide the support needed.
I HAVE been there & mine came about because my husband blamed me for absolutely everything that was wrong with our marriage; I was not supposed to have an opionon that didn't agree with his for starters - I could list a LOT more things .
I DO NOT say that I was in the right all the time- in teh end he was just totally indifferent to me

Answer 5

i believe the number one cause of divorce is infidelity, because all other problems can be fixed, and worked out, but when a spouse is involved with another it seems to take away all joy and trust and feelings u once had for the spouse. all problems can be fixed except infidelity, infidelity is the only problem one cannot easily fix, because the spouse has crossed the line, picked someone else over u, and makes u feel undesirable and unwanted. all the other problems are a piece of cake to work out, but infidelity usually is what kills the relationship.

Answer 6

i read a recent N.Y. Daily News article that the opposite is true

certainly infidelity is a major issue, but i guess we cant underestimate the power of $ in our livelihoods and relationships

for example, the breadwinner will use money to "control" the relationship; or, the breadwinner may feel annoyed that his/her spouse isnt making the proper contributions (if at all) to their finances

Answer 7

Sometimes if you have enough money, infidelity (first offense) can be overlooked.. but deliberate attempts at disloyalty and betrayal should not be overlooked and many times wont......so i would say 50/50, financial problems/infidelity

Answer 8

Could be that you are right and don't forget the counterpartners of lack of interest and, or communication. Meaning both partners deciding to let themselves go. Married couples should never let themselves go, they should strive to make themselves the best for each other. Most important of all once the communication is gone, so is the marriage and, or partnership. Let me say more here on keeping in shape, it keeps our minds and bodies in tune, gets more oxygen to the brain.
Couples should always put one another first.

Answer 9

No, I don't agree. The most common reasons cited for divorce include:

- Poor communication

- Change in priorities. This can be caused by having kids or due to ones job, big things.

- Lack of commitment to the marriage.

- Sexual problems.

- Addictions

- Failed expectations of your spouse (believing one is a super hero or that he/she can fix or be everything to or for you)

- Physical, emotional or sexual abuse.

Answer 10

Infidelity is definately wrong. But it is not why relationships end.The reason they end is the loss of trust between the two.
