According to various studies, the 4 most common causes of divorce are <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. lack of commitment<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. infidelity or extramarital affairs<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  3. too much conflict and arguing<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. lack of physical intimacy. <\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The least common reasons are lack of shared interests and incompatibility between partners.
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Who initiates divorce more frequently?<\/h3>\n

    A study led by the American Sociological Association determined that nearly 70% of divorces are initiated by women. And the percentage of college-educated American women who initiated divorce<\/a> is even higher.<\/p>\n

    Why do women tend to initiate divorce more frequently than men?<\/h4>\n

    According to the BBC<\/a>, Women also tend to have more close friends<\/a> than men (in fact, in the US, 15% of men say they have no close friendships at all), meaning they have a better support system both to discuss any marital issues as well as to ease the transition back into single life. It\u2019s also possible these friendships make divorce seem like a more plausible option \u2013 research suggests that if a close friend gets divorced, people\u2019s own chances of divorcing rise by 75%<\/a><\/p>\n

    Add this to the fact that women get primary custody of children in the vast majority of divorce cases, so women may feel they have less to lose when filing for divorce compared to men. And in some ways, they are right \u2013 evidence shows men\u2019s well being tends to drop much more dramatically<\/a> immediately following a divorce.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
