Hi...just wondering, what do you think are the reasons why couples usually break-up?
I've had my fair share of break-ups...and the last reason was because, we were in this complicated situation. He had a girlfriend, but I knew that and i agreed to be his other girlfriend. It was wrong, so thats one reason why I broke up with him.
How about you guys? Care to share your experience?
And who usually does the break-up?

First let me tell you that I adore your Avatar. Delightful!!!
Now to answer your question. I think a lot of couple break up because the thrill is gone and boredom sets in. That is also the reason they do stupid things like cheat on each other.
Every relationship gets stale after a while and suddenly you have to really work on keeping it together.
Other times is it mental or physical abuse. That goes for both genders.
Immaturity is another reason. I have seen that a lot.
I divorced my exhusband after 12 Years for a lot of different reasons, it wasn't just one but a combination of it. Part of it being mental abuse, cheating and I was tired of being the man in the house.
I don't think that either gender breaks up more then the other and at times it is the other partner that drives you away as well.

Well, it was called having misplaced loyalties to my kids. I had 3kids with that guy and for some stupid reason thought I owed it to them to make sure they had a mommy and a father figure. Go figure. A lot of us do that for some reason. As far as figuring out that I was with the wrong person, it took me about 6 years of self dillusion, blaming everything on myself and then the next 6 just trying to raise my kids.

Usually it's the girl who dumps the guy. Girls tend to be more picky than guys.
I'm usually the one who gets dumped, but I've worked hard to be a dumper rather than a dumpee.

Im glad u realised the situation and broke up with him...
I mean can u imagine how sad his other partner would be, to find out that he has got another girl?
i mean im nt one who can tolerate such acts...
to me, i would rather disown this partner...
for me, i would break up with my partner if the feelings are not there...
if not, it must be because of his act, his disloyalty and continuous acts of things which makes me lost heart and thus decision on the break up...
sometimes, its really sad to break up with someone u love...

as i think break-ups happen when ppl dnt trust each other and when they lose faith in each other...
trust and faith is the base of any kind of relationship so without them..a relationship can't survive
