Why are Hollywood marriages so short and why do they enter multiple marriages?

I feel like I can Google almost any iconic actor and it turns out they’ve been married 3+ times.

Because divorce has like basically no repercussions when you're a rich celebrity -- not like a regular person. You don't suffer financially -- you probably have prenup or you're so rich that splitting assets doesn't result in a change in lifestyle. You have multiple homes so no big deal getting another house. You have nannies and staff to take care of kids so no childcare repercussions. Probably more people would get divorced if not for financial and childcare repercussions.

Add to that the stereotypical Hollywood personality -- somewhat narcissistic and emotional. Not exactly the most stable people in that industry.

How often is a couple every in the same home? If one or both is a musician or actor, they are off on tour or filming. Very few are sitting down to watch Wheel of Fortune every night together.

They are also surrounded by all sorts of interesting, attractive people constantly. So the second they feel distant with their spouse, someone else will come along at that time that they gel with. And there you go.

Creative types often have very difficult personalities in their private lives - arrested development, over inflated egos, paranoia, inability to find true satisfaction in their lives because they can have whatever they want, whenever they want it.

Creatives also often suffer from depression and other mental health issues.

They travel a lot, have big egos, many people are throwing themselves at them, which causes lots of temptation.

I didn't say they were mean, cheating backstabbers though did I?

It’s very hard to resist temptation in those situations.

Yeah...money insulates rich people from childcare issues, housing issues, financial health issues, and stress or indecision related to those issues.

Fame insulates you from feeling lonely, because you probably already have a staff including people you like to spend time with, and people will always want to be around you and be loyal to you...and date you.

I am sure my husband and I would have been long divorced if we were mega rich. Not saying I think that would have been good or I wish that happened -- I love him and want to be married to him! -- but I am SURE during rougher times we'd have called it quits if we were rich and famous.

They have a lot more options than the average person.

The “business” rich, for lack of a better world, don’t seem to divorce as much as public figures do.

I’m a middle aged creative professional, as are most of my friends and acquaintances. None of us has had a traditional lasting relationship. Most of us are loners and suffer from chronic depression.
