People divorce for a lot of reasons. Some are silly and some are severe but no matter how silly they are, they were still worth the cost of someone’s marriage.
Some causes have been rampant and known to be home breakers. I’ll be giving you different common reasons people leave their partners and decide, “no, we have to call this off.”
Divorce comes with a lot of drama and emotional struggle especially when you have kids. The decision is a big one to take and if it’s not a mutual feeling, it always gets serious. You’ll hear of a couple where one party refused to sign because they don’t want to get a divorce. They want to hold on and be given a second chance that they were probably given before because one has to think it over and over again before thinking of divorce as an option?
Why Do People Get Divorced?
Let’s start with severe rampant reasons
1. Infidelity
Infidelity is the most rampant of all. Everybody wants someone that is loyal so seeing someone who is always caught being unfaithful is a very sad thing. It’s something you don’t have to leave with. Most times, cheating starts from an emotional affair, you begin to claim that the person is just a friend to you, till later, you start cheating with that friend. It is very difficult to get trust back once a partner betrays. You doubt them so many times and it often leads to quarrels. You start to feel anger and resentment towards your partner.

2. Lack of Communication
When couples communicate well, they have a good foundation. When you don’t communicate well with your partner, you start to feel anger and frustration. In some situations, you might find someone who understands you and gradually the person is taking the place of your partner and boom! You start to cheat. Two people who are married are sharing life together so you should be able to tell your partner your needs and wants. Poor communication has been a reason for people’s divorce and the percentage of people is somewhere around 65%.
When you two only shout and yell at each other to pass across a message then it is a healthy way of communicating and it won’t take time before divorce sets in if it’s not stopped.
3. Financial Problems
This can lead to serious frustration. Especially when the marriage was not like that from the scratch and everything was rosy. Financial problems have been a reason for people’s divorce and the percentage is somewhere around 41%. You people start to reduce your spending habit and surely if things get worse, one person is going to start complaining.
Financial problems go two ways. If one person starts to earn more than another person can also cause arguments. Funny right? You should be happy for each other. This should be among the silly reasons why people divorce because you are certainly not in competition with your partner. The aim is growth.

4. Weight Gain
As silly as it sounds, it happens. People leave their partners because they added some weight. Some people automatically lose physical attraction to their partner once they add weight. They start to feel ashamed to show you off. They lose their self-esteem and can’t take you out anymore. Pheww! This is extremely unfair. This is why it is advised to not marry people for looks. Beauty fades and you need to understand that. So you have to love someone for a more permanent reason.
5. Not Being Prepared for Marriage
What do we call these people? Time wasters? This sounds too silly. Why did you go into one in the first place? You thought marriage is about first to wear a white gown and do the biggest wedding? Now that you know it is so much more, you find it hard to be committed. You start to see how single people are living a free life then you call it to quit. Remember, this person didn’t even hurt you. You decided to do it based on your own selfishness and pleasure.
Generally, if you feel your relationship is serving you no purpose and it only brings pain, then you are free to leave the marriage. Marriage is not do or die. It should be hard and it shouldn’t be a place of pain. Yes sometimes, it won’t be rosy. That’s the point, to stick with each other through thick or thin.
