What do you think are the main causes of break-ups between mates?

in todays world-money,physical attraction,cheating,i dunno;people as a
whole just seem to be a bunch of dumb animals,anyway-i don't sound
bitter,do i?lol

Sex, money, and family, I would guess.

Liers and cheaters!!

You stop caring about the other person. When that happens everything
starts bugging you and before you know it, you can't stand em.

Communication ......... PERIOD. Everything else can be taken into
consideration, sex, money, jobs... BUT , my experience tells me that as
soon as the lines of communication BREAK down, it all goes into the
toilet

I think Lady hit the nail on the head.

For the people that may not think sex should be included.

My ex girlfriend and I are really close friends. We had a discussion
not to long ago, things arent going good in her current relationship.

She told me all her relationships have been the same way. The first
four months its all about her and getting her off. After that guys get
lazy, its all about them.

I think sex has a bigger impact then most guys think.

Ive learned my lesson, so whos ready to give me a test ride? lol/jk
God, I crack myself up

not spendin that much time wit family....cheatin.....lyin....list goes
on many reasons......

The same things you 2 like last year you DO NOT LIKE NOW. So I could say
an "adjust to feelings of hobbies and each other"

I THINK THE #1 THING IS LACK OF COMMUNCATION AND #2 CHEATING..I SEE IT
ALL THE TIME..

I agree with Sweet on this one but would add money problems also. And
falling into a routine to the point you seem to forget what you once had
and want take the time or efford to even try to correct the problems
instead just throw your hands in the air and give up without a fight
thinking it it not worth it after all. Anything is worth saving if you
take the time and really want to. But.........there is no way it will
happen unless both try.

Number Four: Un-spoken expectations. We all have them. We all expect our
mate to uphold them. They just dont know about it, but we still hold
them to it.

Three: Frequently stated Demands. "You have to do this...", "Why didnt
you do that?", "I need this to be done..."

Two: Failure to hear what we say. "They just dont get it!"

One: Lack of enforcing Tenderness. We stop giving it, we stop demanding
it. It dies pretty quickly after that.

Twotallone said it! I agree with it

here here twotallone!!!!

WELL PERSONALLY FOR ME I THINK IT COULD BE A VARIETY OF THINKS THAT
CAUSES BREAK UPS,FOR INSTANCE,LACK OF COMMUNICATION,YOU LOOSE TRUST FOR
THAT PERSON,YOU BOTH GET COMFORTABLE WITH EACH OTHER AND YOU FEEL YOU
DONT HAVE TO GO THE EXTRA MILE TO MAKE THAT PERSON FEEL SPECIAL,YOU
BROKE AND DONT HAVE A JOB,YOU A LAZY BUM AND THAT A FEW,BUT FOR EVERY
COUPLE THERE IS A DIFFRENT REASON.

Well I can tell you that my first two ended cause of lack of respect....
This marriage here is ending cause we have grown apart. We want
different things and feel it is better to achieve them as single adults.

I honestly think people loose interest in the other more and more these
days

AFTER A WHILE ,BOTH PARTIES,GETS TOOO COMFORTABLE AND THEY FEEL THEY
DONT NEED TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE TO MAKE THAT PERSON FEEL SPECIAL.

when your man goes and robbed a bank for no reason he needs his meds,
lying steeling cheating, and pretty much everything
