Bo34 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Title says it all. A pretty basic question, but just wanted to get some feedback on why ppl on this forum think the reason(s) to this are.
Blanco Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 There isn't such a stigma attached to divorce as there once was. Some people just aren't emotionally mature enough to put in the effort to keep a relationship or marriage going through the difficult times. But as I get older, I'm coming to realize that a lot of breakups and divorces happen because the two people involved just weren't a great fit for each other to start with. Problem is, even with divorce and ending long-term relationships being more acceptable now than ever before, it doesn't seem like the societal pressures to "grow up" and settle down have eased up that much. This leads to people staying in bad relationships or, even worse, doubling down by getting married to people they simply shouldn't. 2

Brando Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Post above is a great response. I also think that women are much more free to be sexual. Technology makes it much easier to get/keep in touch with people. Social media connects a ton of people. Dating apps. Mass consumer mentality (always shopping for something better). Probably a bunch of reasons. Enjoy the ride!
mightycpa Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Because the entire world is basically available to people now. This means that temptation exists around every corner, or even without moving from your desk, plus (at least in the US and Europe) almost all of us has the means to go to pretty much anywhere in the world. So many choices means that we can all afford to be really choosy, and/or really adventurous.
The Poster Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 I gave a detailed opinion on this a few weeks ago in another thread, but essentially I think it's because people lack faith and devotion these days. People get into relationships for the wrong reasons, and they don't build strong enough bonds. Everything is built on superficiality, and then when things get a little rough, they bolt, because it's easy.
basil67 Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 Women work these days, so they don't need their husband to support them. Women also don't need a husband if they want a loan or to buy insurance. No-fault divorce exists. Divorced people are not longer considered scandalous. Unhappy marriages are not a new thing. The only difference now is that people aren't stuck in them.
