What leads to this is best known to psychologists and lawyers. They are the ones who get the most complete picture of what happened in a particular marriage and why it fell apart.

Experts have compiled a list of the most common reasons for divorce. Cheating only came in fourth place.

Most often, people decide to break off relationships due to misunderstanding, domestic routine, violence.

For example, women often come to psychologists complaining that their spouses do not help them with housework.

Over time, this leads to quarrels. The problem is fueled by a lack of mutual understanding.

One argument does not cause divorce, but a series of disagreements and misunderstandings is exhausting for both parties.

Women cannot get their point across, while men defend their point of view to the last.

In addition, during a quarrel, people say many rude and offensive words to each other, which can cause a crack in the relationship.

This can be prevented at the initial stages, psychologists say. You need to check your overall compatibility, understand whether you are ready to live together.

If this was not taken into account at the beginning of the relationship and the problem occurred after years of marriage, then only a compromise can save the situation, experts conclude.
