1. The sex has stopped
There’s nothing worse than a sexless relationship. In fact, that sounds like an oxymoron to us! If you aren’t having any sex or at least not enough of it, it’s bound to fizzle at some point. After all, intimacy is an important way for couples to connect. Once all of that stops, the person is no longer a lover and instead feels more like a roommate.
2. Fighting over finances
Money and expenses are highly complicated when you’re single, especially when you’re in a relationship. One of the pair feels like they’re disproportionately responsible for paying the bills. Or the couple has a joint bank account where one of them makes big purchases without consulting the other. Failure to sit down and hammer out these financial issues before they become serious problems dooms the vast majority of relationships.
3. The kids have grown up
Surprisingly, a lot of couples stayed together for 20 years simply because they didn’t want their children to grow up with divorced parents. But once their offspring spread their wings and left the house, their parents decided it was the perfect time to finally end the marriage.
4. A failure to communicate
The key to success in any relationship is the ability to talk things out and develop ways to solve problems together. Once either or both parties stop doing this — or decide they’d rather shout instead of having a reasonable discussion — that’s the end of that.
5. Not compromising
Even if couples attempt to hash things out by talking, their relationship is dunzo if they stubbornly refuse to compromise. It is simply impossible for one of the pair to get their own way 100% of the time.
6. Cheating
Infidelity seemed to be one of the most common responses on the Reddit thread. The spark in the relationship just wasn’t there anymore; they were overcome by temptation and found a lady (or dude) on the side; they either decided at some point to confess, or they were caught in the act.
7. Problems with compatibility
It goes without saying that the relationship won’t last if you have nothing in common. No hobbies or interests. You’ll quickly run out of things to talk about or talk about stuff that your partner finds downright boring.
