Instead of actually investing into their relationship, working out their problems, they end the relation and go on to the next.

Without passing any judgement, didn't yours implode recently? Or have I mixed you up with someone else?

You haven't. Mine went asplode 15 months ago.

But it's an opinion I had back then aswell: Instead of solving problems, we run away from them. In some cases it's hard to solve problems when the other half isn't willing to recognize them or acknowledge them. I always got a "I don't know" as a reply, and in the long run, you can't solve a problem if the other party doesn't recognize it.

But that doesn't mean this applies in most cases: I hear to many times things like "I just realized I didn't love her anymore" or "I just didn't work". A relationship is more than just a funny feeling in your tummy. It's an investment in eachother, and you don't leave a boat immediately the first time you run into a bump. Of course, there are still plenty of marriages that end with a valid reason. But the extremely high numbers are probably a result of the consumption society we live in.
