The 3 most common reasons for couples breaking up

According to an Insee study, love relationships last an average of 4.2 years, a duration that has been increasingly decreasing in recent decades. Faced with this fact, therapist Jeff Guenther has identified three main causes of separations, namely the "Millennial Generation" who today also share an account on social networks such as Instagram, etc. These often silent factors can make even the most cooperative couples sensitive to each other.

Chronic conflicts.

Occasional disagreements are normal in all relationships, but if they accumulate without a solution, they can become destructive. A vicious circle of unresolved arguments leads to resentment and emotional exhaustion. Couples trapped in these dynamics end up in exaggerated outbursts. The accumulation of these tensions without making any effort and with a lack of communication, reconciliation becomes almost impossible. The lack of dialogue feeds boredom, partners lose the desire to seek solutions and move further away from each other every day.

Diminished attention and care.

At the beginning of a relationship, sweet gestures and quality moments shared together are there. But over time, these indicators of attention fade. Meetings, care shown, sweet words or surprises are the key words of love relationships, strengthening the emotional aspect between them, but when these efforts disappear and routine takes its toll, they create the possibility of a dangerous emotional distance. This affective gap can quickly weaken the dynamics of the couple and overlap moments loaded with doses of mutual anger.

Personal development

Years pass and people change. Interests, beliefs, convictions and values ​​too: What may have united them before can become a source of divergence. Ideally, partners would develop together while maintaining compatibility, but in these cases these changes drive them apart irreparably.

According to therapist Jeff Guenther, this phenomenon can be intensified if one of the partners could develop feelings for another. If the affection is directed towards another person, we are at a point where repairing the initial relationship becomes impossible! - concluded the couple's relationship therapist.
