Have you ever found yourself questioning the motives behind a friend or family member’s divorce? As we have reported previously, marriages fall apart for a number of reasons, including finances, infidelity and general unhappiness.
Recently, a pair of researchers from Pennsylvania State University analyzed a survey given to about 200 divorced adult couples to discover why some marriages fall apart. Their findings were not shocking.
According to the researchers, the most common reasons people get divorced (along with the percentage of people who said the issue contributed) are:
- Infidelity (21.6 percent)
- Incompatibility (19.2 percent)
- Substance abuse (10.6 percent)
- “Growing apart” (9.6 percent)
- Personality problems (9.1 percent)
- Communication issues (8.7 percent)
- Physical or mental abuse (5.8 percent)
- “Loss of love” (4.3 percent)
- Not meeting family obligations (3.4 percent)
- Employment problems (3.4 percent)
Our attorneys have worked with clients who have suffered through all these problems.
