My marriage failed mainly because there was a lack of communication & friendship between us. We jumped into marriage after knowing each other for only 6 months. We didn't not ever establish true friendship. You have to have a strong foundation of friendship in a marriage because you will not always feel like you love them. A lot of people loose that friendship and start viewing each other as enemies. Then of course respect and even trust are lost. The next thing I knew, I realized we didn't even have a marriage. I tried counseling and everything and I prayed that our marriage would get better. I couldn;t change him. I found out on a phone log that he had been talking to another girl and once I confronted him and her about it, he immediately left. He was, obviously very unhappy and had already made the decision in his heart that he didn't want to try anymore, therefore just giving up. In a marriage, it's a joint partnership, where the both of you have to work hard....not just one person...it never works that way.

Because we both stopped respecting the marriage... When you no longer make time to nurture your relationship, don't keep it special, or expect the other to pick up your slack, then you can expect it to slowly dissolve... Marriage is suppose to be a union where 2 become 1... Afterwards, we are to treat the marriage as it's own entity. It is hard work, forever growing, & never to be stepped on, hurt, or disrespected. I don't think we ever took note to this... We had expectations & therefore major let downs. Too many times, people see it as a power struggle & who is more in control...

Becasue the woman (yes, the woman) I was with was selfish, lazy, un-supportive, greedy, and paranoid person. Nothing I ever did was good enough, and if I did too much, I was doing too much. I couldn't live in that environemtn. I couldn't go to school full time and work pretty much full time only to come home after a 15 hour day to a woman who thought she new what was better for me than I did. All my hard work in school to try to make our future better was not coming quick enough for her. My work was not paying what she wanted (try finding a flexible job, outside McDonalds, when you're going to school full time) She wanted money, now, now, now. She wanted me to stop going to school and find something different. We were living OK, had a nice apartment, each had a car that was paid off, always had food on the table. but she wanted more, but wanted me to do it all. She didn't wantto get a job, and if she did, she quit within a month because it wasn't for her. She had no ambition, no drive to do anything. My goals were not good enough for her, she didn't think I was realistic with what I wanted to make of myself through college.
I couldn't live like that. I couldn't live being shot down and un supported by a person who claimed she loved me. That wasn't love. She was living off what I could give. I couldn't live like that.
Now I'm out of that realationship and married to a better woman who fully supports me and I support her. I'm out of college now and have a good job, a house, etc. We work together, not against each other.
Oh and the new guy she is with now, She's doing the same thing to him that she was doing to me. Living for free. Always expecting a handout. Sucks to be him, his eyes havn't opened to it yet, but give them a couple more years and they will.

I could write out everything he did to me, but I will not, I called it quits after 30 years of marriage, I didn't like being treated like a slave, and lower than a snakes butt,..... All I want is for this divorce to get over with.

Because my ex is a lying, cheating, no good s.o.b. He lied on our marriage certificate, cheated on me throughout the relationship, and won't take care of our kids. Oh yeah, and he wouldn't keep a job. And I had had enough and kicked his sorry a$$ out.

My ex-husband was abusive physically and mentally, and I refused to stay in that situation.
I've been re-married for ten years and this marriage is great!

I took over more and more of the house running and child rearing and he worked more and more hours. Woman at work were drawn to him because of his "power". He became a workaholic and when the work went south he became so clingy I was suffocated. (He had no friends or hobbies and all the women left because he was no long powerful)
