The majority of us want to find and marry the “right” person, and we want that relationship to last. Simultaneously, the majority of romantic relationships end in divorce. What are some of the main reasons for this? The 3 reasons why relationships fail are listed below.
Of course, each couple is distinct. The longer two people have shared their life, the more complex aspects are likely to be involved. The following list of reasons is not intended to be exhaustive. They simply reflect some of the most common and harmful causes of relationship breakdown.
1. Issues of Trust
One of the most dangerous contagions to a couple’s long-term success is a lack of or loss of trust. A relationship that lacks trust is missing two critical foundations to a solid bond: safety and security.
2. Expectations that are different
“Never allow yourself to be someone’s option when they are your priority.”
Twain, Mark
It is difficult for a pair to undertake a long journey together. Physical attractiveness, sexual desire, mutual interests, personality connections, and socioeconomic backgrounds are all factors that commonly drive two people together at the start of a relationship, but they often fade away when the reality and obligations of day-to-day living set in.
3. Priorities that differ
In terms of the relationship, your partner has distinct objectives and expectations.
For some, the relationship with their significant other (and family) is the primary focus of their lives. Nothing else compares to its significance.
4. Issues of Compatibility
Relationship compatibility is a vast subject that deserves its own book. In my works, I look at relationship compatibility from a variety of angles, including compatibility in intimacy, compatibility in personality types, and compatibility in attachment styles.
