When there is a breakup in a marriage or a relationship, the blame almost always goes to the other person. Do you think the new person in your spouse/partner life is responsible for the break up in the first place? Have you ever evaluate how your relationship with your spouse/partner before the break-up? It might be our own fault. Share your thoughts.

the only ones to blame is ourselves because we did not make an "excessive" and exhaustible" effort to make it work. we usually end up fighting to the point that we bring up each others faults and past activities trying to blame each other, it is a vicious cycle. we all have imperfections in our relationships. i try to focus on the issue if ever me and my partner have an argument, it is os hard to talk and converse if we fight.

a lot of couples nowadays wants the easy way out. it is easy for every one to just simply let go and justify that they are not meant for each other just to please their ego.

They are not solely responsible, but do share some of the blame.. It is a two-way street and all involved usually share the blame.. But there are many occasions where the wife or husband is completley blameless, they are just married to a philanderer and nothing is going to stop the fooling around.. I couldn't run mine off if I used a stick, we have been around each other too long.. We never had it made from day one, but we have worked through any and all problems to come to a comclusion about the problem..

...there are many factors generating a break up of a marriage or relationship...So I agree when one says we must look for the cause of the problem and evaluate it in order to make an intelligent decision to benefit the relations. When I say "an intelligent decision to benefit the relation" I mean to continue the relation in a different level since we live in such an small world that we still each other to continue living in a better world. It is very difficult but once you look at things from a world perspective you'll see that social crisis affecting all communities share the same problems and their causes so solving the cause of my relation and sharing my approach to the same could help other to do the same and contribute to live in a better place, as a human community.

I suppose while referring to the other person, you are referring to the 'third person' in a married couple's life. Y0u see, it is a nutaral human tendency to put the blame on others, whatever may have happened with him. One finds it always convenient to put the blame on others. However, if you see the any situation in our life from impartial angle, we are responsible for everything which happens in our life. Be it a love affair, be it our marriage, be it break up in any kind of relationship. It requies two to make tange and for clapping two hands are reuired, so we must also share the blame if any relationship comes to an end in our life. I have not faced any break up in my life, I do not believe in breaking relationship rather I believe in maintaining them.

When a relationship breaks down, we all want to point fingers. Noone likes thinking they were responsible for breaking the covenant of marrige.
Even though I was justified in getting divorced, I also knew I was partly to blame.
It's never one person's fault, just like noone can be completely horrible or wonderfully perfect. We all have a light and dark side. When couples break up, we see all the facets of our personalities exposed.
I tried to get my ex into counseling to help him. It might sound weird, but I knew he needed help with some emotional problems, or he wouldn't have treated me the way he did.
I explained the marriage could not be saved, but I wanted the best for him.
We ended our marriage through mediation and I never forgot these words. The mediator told us:
' A good settlement is when both parties walk away equally dissatisfied.'
I think that matches the way broken relationships come down to if we're honest. It takes two people to break it.

If your partner cheats and leaves to be with the person they cheated with then they alone are to fault, they made the choice to cheat and break up a relationship. The person they cheated with ok so maybe their morals need a look at for sleeping with a married person but if they are single ultimatley they can see who they like, the married person cant. Yes sometimes you should evaluate the relationship incase there was a prblem there but even then its still the cheaters fault they chose to do that instead of being adult and trying to fix the problem again their fault!

Cheating is another issue. The main question lay in what the actual cause that lead to cheating? Is it because there is no longer affection between the couple? I am trying to figure out why a cheater cheats in his/her marriage or relationship in the first place. There are many excuses but one that is always cited in the paper is irreconcilable difference. What does that mean?
