They're probably not even going to let us bring it onto the record.

And so that is a really, really hard thing for somebody to be able to pill to swallow because this is, you know, rock their entire world.

And the fact that a court is not going to listen to it, you know, something very, very hard.

So I can say the number one reason is communication.

I think that people and this is just relationships in general, but doing this for a long time, I can tell you breakdown and communication is really, I think, one of the number one reasons that people get divorced.

you know, I say people get married, they're both speaking English, but by the time they're getting divorced, one speaking Portuguese and one speaking Chinese, like they're just no longer on the same place.

And, you know, it's sad because at one point they really were aligned.

And so it gets to a point where people just can't, you know, you can't say a simple thing to the other person without them hearing in a negative light.

And it just makes even basic communications to be very difficult.

And

You know, raising children and raising a family and finances.

I mean, marriage is tough.

There's no question about it.

But when you cannot communicate and logistics can't even be discussed in a civil manner, it just breaks everything down.

So I'd say that's definitely number one.

I would say number two is failed expectations.

Again, I think that people walk into marriages sometimes with romanticized views of what marriage is.

You know, everybody thinks it's chocolate and flowers every day and it's just not.

And so I think that there are failed expectations on many different levels.

Some is on the romantic part of things.
