persistently perseverating on where you

went wrong

perhaps you steeped in self-loathing and

blame or drowning in anger that's

directed towards your ex maybe he was

too much of a flirt or maybe she was too

controlling maybe just maybe there was

nothing you could do you too just

naturally drifted apart over time

there's a ton of reasons that break

relationships let's illuminate eight

reasons that will provide insight into

your current or future relationship lack

of trust is one of the leading causes of

breakups and divorce trust issues often

manifests as jealousy possessiveness

emotional or sexual infidelity mind

games and unreasonable demands

oftentimes insecurity which mainly stems

from our internal fears and

preconceptions is the root of the

problem to prevent these issues from

reoccurring people post-breakup try to

work on themselves couples with poor

communication are equally doomed if you

and your partner judge criticize or

challenge each other's worth contempt

will grow you'll begin taking each other

for granted bringing each other down

instead of up then when the mutual

respect is lost you'll both be less

motivated to find a solution and more

motivated to point fingers in the end

poor communication leads to

misunderstandings that can drive

partners away when communication is an

honest and forthcoming in the beginning

then relationships can break due to

different expectations and priorities at

the beginning you and your partner

formed a spark based on common interests

and physical attraction that's the easy

part the trust test of a relationship

occurs when the realities and demands of

daily life

settle in when your interests don't

align your paths begin to diverge maybe

you prioritize the relationship while

your partner prioritizes work

resentfulness can grow when one partner

feels like they're sacrificing too many

of their needs different expectations

and priorities are often the result of

growing at different speeds one of you

might be excelling in school while the

other might be stagnating one might

already be willing to settle down

if you

can't grow together it becomes

increasingly difficult to coexist in

harmony this is why high school

relationships usually don't sustain

themselves it's an age where you're

still developing maturing and learning

about who you are

incompatibility is the fourth reason

relationships fail did your partner

reveal characteristics that inherently

clash with yours maybe you're a free

spirit and your partner's conservative

line of thinking is stifling you perhaps

all that's been sustaining the

relationship is great sex whatever the

case be it personality types

intimacy levels or attachment styles

couples who can't bond don't last a more

extreme cause of relationship failures

is abuse which ranges from verbal

emotional physical sexual and

psychological abuse be on the lookout

for manipulative passive-aggressive and

excessively dominant behavior unlike in

media portrayals abuse is often subtle

and insidious sometimes an abusive

dynamic is born out of a partner's toxic

lifestyle gambling drinking drugs and

sex can all lead to addiction which

places major strain on relationships

have you ever been in a relationship

with someone who struggles with some

form of addiction it makes it near

impossible for the addict to accommodate

anything else let alone a lover despite

everything the eighth reason

relationships break is due to it

reaching a dead end have you ever been

with your partner for a while

stagnation in boredom can grow until it

becomes increasingly hard to stay

together for example in long-term

relationships life obligations can get

in the way of connectedness this is why

parents can experience empty nest

syndrome

when their kids grow up and move out

they discover that aside from the

children there's nothing else between

them did we miss anything what are the

reasons that your past relationships

didn't work out we would love to hear
