Why Do Breakups and Divorces Happen?

Relationships happen between two people for different reasons. If you look at it from a scientific point of view, it can be explained as hormones and rush of adrenaline. If you look at it from an emotional standpoint, it is that moment of truth where we believe that this is what life is all about.

And there starts something, which can either be the best thing that happened in our lifetime, or the one thing that can leave a scar which will remain with us till our last breath. Hence it is of great importance that people realize how to sustain a relationship and why breakups can occur.

Lack of sex has been considered one of the major reasons for divorces in the USA. This is where something which was fun once upon a time has lost that spark on one side or both sides, and now it just becomes a chore. This is the first sign where the feeling that something is missing creeps in. It is very important that we understand what is happening and try to find out why it is happening and try to work on it.

As time goes by in a relationship, the way we perceive each other changes too. What we adored at one point in the relationship like a simple hug may be stifling after we grow old and are faced with day to day troubles. This is an indicator of lack of interest in the relationship and this is where one has to realize that as time goes by people change and change is inevitable. Physical and emotional factors alone should not be the driving force in any relationship.

The foundation stone for any sort of a relationship is trust. Once that feeling saying that the other person is hiding something, it means that we are beginning to lose that trust in the other person. When we reach that point, there is really no point in continuing with the relationship. But if we can talk and sort out things between us, and regain that trust, the bond becomes even stronger than before. This is how most relationships hit a rock and sink.

The need for independence is sometimes a simple indicator which shows us that a relationship is beginning to hit a rough patch. In the beginning of the rosy phase of a relationship, we would have wanted to spend every simple moment with our loved ones. We would wait for hours so that we could eat a simple sandwich with our dear ones.

But now, we would get the feeling that a lunch alone at work seems easier and less stressful than a lunch at home. This is when people decide that it is better to live without that person rather than with that person. What we fail to think about is the past and why we enjoyed what we did, and where it went. When we think about that, we fall in love all over again. And this makes us understand how much the other person means to us.

Relationships are not meant to be easy. They were not designed in such a way. A mature and responsible person does not give up on a relationship, no matter what kind of a problem comes in between. Because such a person does not see that as a problem, but as an opportunity to prove their love for the other person is something which can stand all tests. So go ahead, and fight the good fight and do not let your relationship fail.
