Why are so many people getting divorced all of a sudden?

I think you answered your own quetion to some extent but just to add to it. It's simply greed and curiosity couples r not satisfied with wat they have, they want more whether it be money, sex you name it. And sometimes they marry for all the wrong reasons.

It's obviously hard on everyone involved, but it can really be more tramatic for children, expecially since there are so many things going on that they don't fully understand.  Their world is being turned upside-down; if there is split custody, their schools, homes, and pretty much everything else in their life is going to be dramatically changed.  They often blame themselves for mommy or daddy leaving, and they feel conflicted about loyalties towards parents (mom hates dad, but I love dad, so is mom going to hate me?). And the stress that the parents are experiencing can also affect the way they treat their children.  However, you have to weigh the pros and cons of a divorce: Raising children in a hurtful/distructive/abusive marriage v.s. putting them through a divorce.  Sometimes, a divorce is the best option for a family, as everyone will be better off in the end.

I hate people like that, dammit. Well, I think it's funny that opposite sex marriages are held up to the norm when heterosexuals aren't exactly doing well on the marriage floor. What is there left to ruin when most couples divorce these days?\n\nAnd also, what do they mean we need more people to reproduce, if 1/100 people are gay, that leaves 99 people to add to a 6 billion, plus population.

It is different for everyone. Some people are not out to be married just to be married, but they find someone they love, and decide they want to be with that person forever. Some are scared of ending up alone. Some people do it because it seems like the thing to do, the next logical step in your life. I knew a guy who did just that. He had a long time girlfriend, he graduated college, and just fell into the pattern he thought would be normal. It did not last though. Marriages should be based on love and trust, not a fear of being alone.

Nope.  There's still hope for a normal married family with kids.  It's just that these days they are becoming less prominent than in the past.

The obsession with always having to be "happy".  People think that you have to always be "happy", sometimes things get rough and instead of working it out and sticking it out when things aren't going your way people quit.  There are so many reasons people give for divorcing but I think the one you here the most is " I just wasn't happy anymore".  Well who is happy all the time?  It's OK to have a bad spell of time.  It's OK to have a problem in your marriage that lasts a few months even a year or more but you can't just say this isn't fun I'm outta here.  We live in a society that put to high of a value on fun.  Don't get me wrong I love a good time and I love feeling happy but you can't base your whole life on if it's not fun I don't want to do it.  How would anything get done?  Children need to see parents stick it out they need to see that life in general isn't a cake walk.  They need to see that you don't always get what you want.  Maybe then people will stop looking for the easy way out of everything and learn to cherish the fun happy times instead of taking it all for granted.

i think there are a number of reasons why people are no longer getting married like they used to.  our society has changed drastically just in the past few decades.  divorce rates have rocketed and the number of people who believe in god, or practice christianity faithfully has decreased.  marriage isn't really taken seriously anymore.  another reason people are just dating is because women have become so independent in the past few decades.  no longer is our role to get married and be a stay at home mom raising six kids and cleaning house, etc.  many women are going to college to pursue degrees and aren't graduating until their mid to late 20's.  i know for myself, i am more focused on finishing school and enjoying time to myself before i decide i want to settle down and get married.  this is just a few of my own opinions on your question.  hope it helped a little.

lack of communication, making them feel that they don't understand each other anymore. Many a times people make assumptions about each other as well, and when things doesn't turn out as they had assume, they blame each other.\n\nSome of them are not as tolerant of each other's weaknesses as well. They are not understanding enough, selfishness sets in and decisions made become self centered.\n\nAnd lastly, they didnt appropriately settle a dispute and use divorce as a means to an end. It is like giving a drug abuser a death penalty. sigh...

yes they are most likely to divorce or have children out of wedlock . . . because that is what they learned from their parents.\n\nthey are also more likely to lie and be dishonest and go to prision too . . .

People don't take marriage seriously anymore.  To them, it's no big deal, if it doesn't work out they can just get a divorce.  People also marry for the wrong reason and a lot of people are too selfish when they get marry.  They aren't ready to put their spouse first.  It's a very sad but marriage is becoming less and less important to the majority everyday.  I hope something happens to somehow change that fact.

I feel the only good reason for a divorce is for the welfare of the children.  Too many people stay together FOR the kids and they r the ones who suffer.  Sooooo divorce FOR the childrens sake!

Across countries and cities and age groups, both the spouses are spending a meagre 4 hours awake together and the rest 12 hours away from each other in a world filled with temptation and "easy" access.\n\nThis eventually leads them to try extra marrital affairs with people working with them, people they meet in travel, people they talk online. \n\nSadly this number is on the rise and rising fast. Probably they hold no respect or committment to the marriage they are in, but merely satisfy their physical needs.\n\nYes, such relationships are not merely common, its rampant..\n\n.:Fishie:.

This may come as crude and rough to you - but its the lack of sex!\n\nMost divorces and breakups have 'lack of sex' as the real reason for them to occur rather then what most 'given' reasons!

It's most likely just the pressures of being i n the media, long periods of time spent apart on movie sets, travelling etcc..\nActully, sometimes it makes me wonder if some marriages are publicity ploys, because when power people come together, the media coverage is phenomenal.

Relationship won't last unless you make it. This means not giving up when it seems like it's going downhill. The reason for our high divorce rates in the US, in my opinion, is that people give up too easily because they think there's a magical "THE ONE" relationship where everything works out and fights, if they ever happened, are always resolved perfectly and quickly and compatibility is great. life isn't like that... get over it. \n\nMind you, I'm not saying you should stay in an abusive relationship or with a guy or girl for whom something is clinically wrong... but for all other types of people, it is POSSIBLE to REASON THINGS OUT and build compatibility. Relationships take work, no matter which way you slice it.
