Top 10 Reasons For Divorce in 2021
COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS
Communication breakdown is often cited as a leading cause of divorce. In 2021, with the increase of remote work and social distancing, many couples have reported experiencing communication difficulties. To overcome these challenges, it’s important to prioritize open and honest communication, actively listen to your partner, and seek out professional help if needed.
1 – FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
Financial strain has always been a common cause of divorce, and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated this issue. Many couples have experienced job loss, decreased income, or increased debt in 2021, leading to significant stress and conflict.
2 – INFIDELITY
Infidelity remains a significant cause of divorce in 2021, with social media and dating apps making it easier than ever for people to connect with others outside of their relationships.
3 – LACK OF INTIMACY
A lack of physical and emotional intimacy can be a major source of dissatisfaction and conflict in a marriage. The pandemic has also led to a decrease in opportunities for couples to spend time together and nurture their intimacy, which can strain the relationship.
4 – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE/ABUSE
Domestic violence has unfortunately increased during the pandemic, with victims being forced to spend more time at home with their abusers. This can lead to a breakdown of the relationship and ultimately, divorce.
5 – ADDICTION
Substance abuse or other forms of addiction can cause significant strain on a marriage. It can lead to financial difficulties, emotional distance, and even physical harm.
6 – HEALTH PROBLEMS
Serious or chronic health problems can put a significant strain on a marriage. The stress and financial burden of managing a health condition can lead to conflict and ultimately, divorce.
7 – GROWING APART
Couples may find that over time, they have grown apart and no longer share the same interests or goals. This can be a gradual process and may not be apparent until years into the marriage.
8 – INCOMPATIBILITY
Sometimes couples may realize that they are not well-suited for each other in terms of personality, values, or lifestyles. This can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and ultimately, divorce.
9 – MARRIAGE AT A YOUNG AGE
Marrying younger can contribute to divorce due to personal growth and development. Younger adults are still developing their own personalities, attitudes, and personal life goals. Those personal life goals can lead to a dramatic change within the relationship ultimately causing relationship breakdown as each person individually grows.
10 – LIFE TRAUMA
Major trauma in life can have detrimental effects on relationships. Critical life-threatening injuries, long-term injuries, death of a loved one or even infertility, cause divorce due to high-stress levels ultimately driving couples apart.

Narcissistic Abuse
Although there are many reasons for divorce, in recent years there has been more talk about narcissistic abuse. I certainly feel that if I had known more about Narcissism I may have been able to handle my previous relationship better and ended it sooner if I had known the warning signs. Narcissistic abuse is a whole website/blog in itself.
CONFUSING
Narcissistic abuse is one of the most confusing, disturbing abuses I feel there is to experience. I almost felt I was going crazy and did not have any idea what was happening at all. It was only once I was out and far away from that person that I started to read and understand narcissistic abuse. Following that, a whole universe of knowledge opened up to me and my journey of recovery started. Believe it or not, it was not myself who finished this relationship, it was the narcissist once he had depleted me of my sanity, money, and many more things. The narcissist always requires a new supply once his current supply runs out.
Recommendations
I discovered narcissistic abuse went deeper than just that one relationship. Maybe I will write about this sometime in the future when I am ready.
