1. Lack of Commitment
A happy and healthy marriage thrives on mutual commitment. But it only takes one partner’s lack of dedication to put the entire relationship at risk. When one spouse isn’t fully invested, the marriage is bound to suffer.
Often, the committed partner believes they can save the marriage on their own by working twice as hard. They think if they give 200% while their spouse gives 0%, it somehow balances out to 100%. But sadly, this kind of math doesn’t work in relationships.
When the marriage inevitably crumbles, the once-committed partner is left not only heartbroken but also furious—realizing they were taken for granted. This anger and sense of betrayal can turn the divorce process into a particularly painful and difficult experience.
