Today, both partners in a couple have enough rights and freedom to independently break off relationships that do not suit them for any reason. Statistics on the causes of divorce in Russia made it possible to see the most common problems that interfere with the existence of marital relationships.
The main reasons for breaking up relationships
In general, fewer marriages end in Russia than in European countries or the United States. An estimated 50. 5% of marriages in Russia end in divorce. However, the reasons for such an elementary step are completely different from those of leading Europeans and Americans. The problem is that the lack of adequate social protection means that young people are forced to cope with a huge number of everyday difficulties on their own. Not everyone can pass this test.
- Difficult living conditions
Not all of Russia”s population is concentrated in large cities. Most people live in small cities, towns and villages. The main reason for the end of their relationship is their living conditions. According to sociologists and researchers, the phenomenon of young couples and their relatives living together is common. This entails a huge number of everyday and psychological problems. Conflicts between representatives of different generations, misunderstandings or accusations in choosing a partner from relatives, their commercial interests — there are many reasons that cause problems. One of the partners inevitably cannot withstand such pressure and leaves the relationship, wanting to escape from the oppressive atmosphere and endless stress. The problem of starting a relationship too early is very serious for all residents of the country. Too often, young people getting married do not fully understand all the complexities of life together. And the early stages of pregnancy only exacerbate the difficulties that hang over the heads of the newlyweds. They are not prepared psychologically and financially for what awaits them in marriage and parenthood.

As a result, one partner decided to leave the relationship and live the life they are capable of. Sociological studies have shown that one of the main reasons for early marriage is pregnancy. On average, women marry while they are four or five months pregnant. The forced creation of such families does not guarantee their stability. The average age of marriage for women is 22. Compared to other countries, brides abroad are seven to nine years older. This means they are psychologically and financially more prepared for life together.

- Financial Issues
Relationship breakdowns due to financial conflicts are also a common reason for women to initiate divorce. Social attitudes, stereotypes, and a patriarchal upbringing instill in many women the idea that a man should be a pastor and support the family. If for some reason he doesn”t do this, his wife sees no point in saving the marriage. For the same reason, men are tolerant of women taking care of the household. For them, the lack of income from their partner is not a serious reason for breaking up. However, there is another reason: men are not prepared to maintain such a relationship. A woman dissatisfied with his income may simply have high demands and “cut off” her husband without any real, objective reasons. Such situations lead men to divorce.
- Lack of harmony, understanding, and agreement between spouses
Differences in views on various things, the inability to negotiate and avoid conflicts, the desire to “get into the bottle” and figure everything out — these are the most common reasons for family divorces. Statistics show that the initiators of divorce in such situations are both men and women in equal proportions. Both incessant swearing and scandals and the distance of spouses from each other are dangerous. In addition, it can be mentioned that they cannot consent to the birth of a child. Very often there are young people who are not ready or prepared to have children. Unlike them, there are those who dream of children all their lives. These conflicting views lead to the fact that relationships are simply destroyed. Those who do not know how to solve this problem and are not prepared for this will not be able to maintain and save their marriage for long.
