[{"role": "system", "content": "Divorce, also known as dissolution of marriage, is the termination of a marriage or marital union, the canceling or reorganizing of the legal duties and responsibilities of marriage, thus dissolving the bonds of matrimony between a married couple under the rule of law of the particular country or state. Divorce laws vary considerably around the world, but in most countries divorce requires the sanction of a court or other authority in a legal process, which may involve issues of alimony (spousal support), child custody, child visitation / access, parenting time, child support, distribution of property, and division of debt. In most countries, monogamy is required by law, so divorce allows each former partner to marry another person; where polygyny is legal but polyandry is not, divorce allows the woman to marry another person. Divorce should not be confused with annulment, which declares the marriage null and void; with legal separation or \"de jure\" separation (a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a \"de facto\" separation while remaining legally married) or with \"de facto separation\" (a process where the spouses informally stop cohabiting). Reasons for divorce vary, from sexual incompatibility or lack of independence for one or both spouses to a personality clash.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Do you have any experiences with divorces? "}, {"role": "user", "content": "I do not have any experience with it myself but I have cousins who have divorced and two uncles too."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I haven't either besides some friends and family. It's understandable but it seems so complicated when it comes to child support and custody if the couple has kids, or dealing with dividing all possessions, property, and debt.

"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Well, if it is 50%, as it used to be, then that would be 1,033,500 or so divorces. Wow that's alot."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I wonder if our society would ever move towards cohabitation instead of marriage with all it's legalities. Apparently there were around 8.1 million couples who lived together but weren't married in 2011. "}, {"role": "user", "content": "That's too many. What do you think is the number one reason of divorces? I would say money."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Honestly, it could be anything from feeling stifled from not having independence or just not being able to get along."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yes it could be an underlying cause that is just explained away as something else too."}]
