The REAL Reason Modern Marriages Fail, Revealed – And It’s Bad News If Your Husband Works in a Busy Office

There are many reasons why couples decide to divorce, from poor communication to money problems.

Research has now shown that there is another factor that can increase the chance of a marriage breaking down.

These findings may be alarming if your husband works in a busy office.

Researchers from the University of Economics and Business Administration in Vienna state that men who work with many women are more likely to divorce.

“The workplace has a gender balance, which reduces the costs of extramarital affairs and gives married people the opportunity to find alternative partners, which increases the likelihood of divorce,” the researchers wrote in their study.

In the UK, around 42 per cent of marriages end in divorce, with the most common reason being ‘unreasonable behaviour’.

‘Unreasonable behaviour in a divorce is used to describe your spouse behaving in a way that means you cannot reasonably expect to continue living with him or her,’ according to The Law Superstore.

However, little research has been conducted to date on the impact of the office environment on divorce.

In their study, the researchers analyzed data from 355,100 children born in Austria between 1976 and 1987.

About 13.5 percent of these children experienced their parents’ divorce before their 18th birthday.

During the separation, the researchers also looked at the characteristics of the participants’ fathers.

“Fathers who divorce tend to work in larger firms and in firms with a lower percentage of blue-collar workers, and in firms with a higher percentage of female workers across all age groups,” they wrote in the study.

Unfortunately, the researchers found that parental divorce has a negative effect on children’s long-term outcomes.

Boys whose parents were divorced had lower educational attainment, poorer labor market outcomes, and were at greater risk of dying early.

Girls, on the other hand, were more likely to have children at a young age (especially in their teenage years).

The researchers hope the findings will highlight the profound – and often damaging – impact of parental divorce on children’s futures.

“Our results show that the emphasis on children’s well-being in divorce is more than empty rhetoric, as the consequences are felt throughout their lives,” said Dr. Martin Halla, co-author of the study.
