Do you have personal experiences? Share them here. In hindsight, could you have noticed earlier that you two aren't meant for each other or it won't work out?

People get divorced for various reasons. Instead of looking through the glass outside in, let's examine it from inside out. We can learn more this way. First, lets examine some of the reasons why people get married in the first place. People get married for fininacial stability. A couple moves in together into an apartment. Things don't work out as planned, but neither of them want to leave the relationship for fear of abandonment and they are scared to give up the things they have. The relationship drags on and eventually they have a child together and socities norms push them to get married, so they get married. Unbeknownst to them, they failed to realize that they aren't meant for each other, but are able to tolerate each other just enough until the breaking point which is the divorce.
People get married because they are pressured into it whether internally or externally. Internally, referring to personal values and beliefs and external referring to what others (parents, peers, friends) expect of them. Before I start, I'd like to make it clear that I do not favor one religion over the other and while I do consider myself a non-denominational Christian, I am more spiritual than believing everything in the Holy Bible. This is arguably against traditional Christian beliefs, but that's for another time. Religion plays a major role in why people get married. The expectations of people's norms push other people to get married. Their personal beliefs also play a role in pushing them to getting married.
Although it is outdated, arranged marriges still happens in many cultures. My sister's brother in-law is a fine example of this. He was arranged marriage to a women and pressured by his parents because she was considered beautiful by the parents and they wanted beautiful grand kids. This is an old way of thinking, common in Asian culture and very bigotted if you ask me. The husband and wife are very toxic to each other, but because of the culture either of them want to break up from the relationship. The wife is stuck in fear for her financial stability because she has no skill and little education. The expectations of the culture are also pressuring them to stay together because it is shameful to divorce.
Now let's reflect on reasons NOT to get married. Do not get married because of financial stability. Do not get married because you are presured into it or expected to by your culture or society norms (e.g. had kids together so expected to get married). Do not get married because you are afraid of abandonment (this one can be hard because you have to be emotionally mature to break away from the relationship). Lastly, do not get married just because you touched uglies with your significant other and fell "in love". As a 31 year old Asian Male Bachelor (bachelor meaning I've never been married) I can attest to the many seasons that I've survived and watched marriages of my family or friends fail. I just had a friend who recently divorced his wife. While I do admit that it could have worked out better, neither were willing to compromise with the other. The chemistry wasn't there and each one wants a different thing in life. In western society, I think that it's fair to say that seeing a divorce becoming a social norm. No one wants to go through one, but its becoming more common to see.

Porque las cosas no funcionan 🤷‍♀️. Idealizar a una persona es lo peor que hacemos cuando nos enamoramos es por eso que se fracasa en una relación, cuando comienzas a darte cuanta de los pequeños detalles. Cuando se está en la etapa de enamoramiento se muestra lo mejor de la persona y es hay el error.... o por lo menos eso a mi me paso

Ex was a drug addict. Started with paint killer for her knee surgery and moved into coke and heroin. I didn't know the term speedball, which scare the shit out of me when I found out she was doing that. She coded multiple time (like heart stopped) in the hospital and came back. It was rough during that time period.

People divorce for different reasons. Mine was due to domestic violence and abuse. Otherwise I would still be married and happy,sadly it is not always the case of fair treatment in marriage.Otherwise before I got married, I was never hit or struck in any way.. Sadly when I was pregnant with my second child. It was an unwanted pregnancy and I was hit and mistreated. Even had a miscarriage of our other kid..I sacrificed my entire life to be with the guy, Lost everything and everyone.But that is history, not one im proud of,but thats life.Life is not always beautiful or fair. Some do not get a happy fairy tale ending like in the movies. I am still paying the price of the divorce. I was 25,when I met him. I was foolish and learned a lot of lessons since than.There was a lot of unresolved issues on both sides.I was dealing with co dependency. I was independent before i met him though.taught me how to be on my own after all this and stand on my own two feet again..To use my head a little more instead of just my heart.. I was 26 when I married. Divorced some years later. After a lot of damage was done. I am a stronger and better person because of everything. Also people have recognized the issues as of him and he is thankfully getting help and assistance. Took years of intensive therapy to recover from the damages but thankfully I am in a better place..That is my experience with marriage. Not that everyone's will be the same as mine. I have a few family members I consider lucky, who have had that fairy tale ending and have been together over 20 years.. If I ever get married again..I would make sure this time, that It doesn't end up like my last one. A lot of self love and healing on this journey. The psychological abuse also experienced in all this, was brutal. I am not the same as I used to be. At least my physical bruises are gone, the emotional ones are not so easy to get rid of. I personally would not mind getting married again. Though I am very cautious. I am not close enough to anyone enough to consider it yet. So I am thankful for that.. I do believe that love and true love can happen. Just differences and hardships can either make or break a relationship. I personally would love to have a partner who I can work things out with and overcome the trials of time.. That is hard though. Not impossible.. Some get divorced due to money issues, physical illness,boredom, Infidelity, and etc. The list of why? Is never ending really..Could be differences in parenting,one believes in corporal punishment and wants to hit the kids and one does not. Could also be due to gambling, addictions, over spending or even being too frugal with money,religion and beliefs,differences in opinions, bad communication, not being able to forgive and work on issues,a lot of personal baggage and unresolved issues from the past, dysfunctional family unit leading to bad habits.. Everything possible for divorce really.There are a lot of factors that can play into it.. A simple reason could be, the two have grown apart and decide to take different paths and find that the marriage no longer serves them.Does not always have to be an ugly ending as long as there is mutual respect and understanding.. Not all divorces have to be ugly, and not all divorces have to happen..If both are willing to work together on their issues, divorce can be prevented..I honestly never believed in divorce until i was forced to do so..Otherwise I like to work things out..Things happen..I never thought divorce would happen to me..But I felt I had no choice..I was told I need to or I will end up dead..Some do not want divorce but some are forced to. For safeties sake..Any vows or promises I make,I take very seriously. I am committed and dedicated once I make my mind up..Maybe i am too old school. But my word is my honer. I usually do not go back on it..Only in very special cases like this. I had to..As there was also children involved and my safety was taken into consideration..

Ah I don't want to get too personal.
So I will just say don't judge if you've never really been there.
I can say there really are good reasons to get a divorce.
It can be very sad and hurtful subject and if anyone shares their experience and story with you,please respect the fact that they trusted you to tell you something so personal and something that may have hurt them deeply.
