You are not happy. Most of your interactions are not positive. You find reasons to avoid your partner. Your friends or family urge you to end the relationship. Your instincts are telling you to get out. You live like roommates. Everything is hard. One or both have changed values or priorities.

The most commonly reported major contributors to divorce were lack of commitment, infidelity, and conflict/arguing. The most common final straw reasons were infidelity, domestic violence, and substance use. More participants blamed their partners than blamed themselves for the divorce.
