I'm always curious about why people divorce.
If you've divorced or are considering it as a solution, what are the BIG issues that you simply can't/couldn't agree on that ended up in divorce, or is heading that way? |
| Money Money Money Monnneeeey! |
| Also, sex, but that's both a symptom and cause. |
What about money though? Someone spends too much? Can't afford things? What? |
| He thought I was cheating on him and shoved me during an argument. I wasn’t. I could never trust him after that. |
What about sex? One wants and one doesn't? Why not? |
| He was cheating. Chronically. He was emotionally abusive. |
Do you know what lead him to cheat? |
| Gambling |
| We never argued at all. But I’d felt we turned into roommates. I asked him if he still wanted to be married and he shrugged. Luckily we didn’t have kids, and that was that. |
| Unresolved conflicts that lead to simmering discontent, lack of or waning sexual chemistry. |
| Alcoholism. I'm waiting 3 more years until my youngest is out if college then I am out; unless he dies first. |
When I talk to couples getting married I always say one of the most important things you can do is argue. Fight fairly but air differences rather than bottling them up, which just leads to distance and resentment |
Someone spends too much. Someone spends on the wrong things. Someone can't buy the things that they want. |
Yeah. As for why there about 500 threads here about people trapped in sexless marriages. One partner is too tired. Resentment over other things that gets carried out via denial in the bedroom. Weight gain or other drastic changes in appearance. Boredom. Infidelity. |
