Cause of divorce - finances

[King Poetic]

I've actually read that cheating is the #3 reason people get divorced.
#1 is finances
#2 is actually "not working on the marriage"
#3 is cheating

Honestly me and u both really don't know of the fact that alot of these stats are taking from what? a pool of 1,000 to 5,000 people

but either way money is the #1 problem

Don't forget 1 out of every 5 divorces are caused by or involve Facebook

this is why black men / white woman relationships are more likely to fail. after shes tired of the sex and wants actual security, a lot of black men come up short. it's also why our women and white men have one of the most secure unions.

It will always come down to finances...women are the most shallow people on earth.

She will file for divorce under "we have grown apart" translation...I'm tired of your broke ass

In my previous relationship (7 years long) we made enough together (120k+/year) and finances were a STRUGGLE. We constantly were stressed about money, which, in turn stressed our relationship. We communicated somewhat, also never planned for the future or emergencies. We were just having fun. Now that I'm older and consider myself more mature, I think of things differently. My current man and I have talked about things before making rash decisions. We're prepping for the future in a more calculated way. Hopefully, this will lead to less stress, and a lifetime of communication and happiness.

It's deeper then just money when it comes to black women and white men. A white man can be broke and a black woman will still have more respacy for him then a balling black man.

All about the nice hair for her kids...she will trade anything for her kids not having nappy hair

That's why we should get mail order bride that don't care about how a persons net worth is

It basically means both of you made 60K each

That's barely above water around here in DC.

Washington DC?
I thought I read that DC has the highest concentration of post-graduates earning over 100k.

Was hoping a woman would enter and offer a differing perspective to this

 

[Will Ross]

Are you a female? I don't understand this notion

Black women are not marrying top notch white men. they are marrying middle income white boys that make the same as them or less.
They are not staying with them because of money they are staying with them because they are white.

Divorce seems like a general American problem across all races but somehow black males seems to be getting dumped on the most in this thread.
