AnswerI would venture to offer that people simply lose interest in each other. AnswerFor the same issues--incompatibilities in lifestyles and views, general disatisfaction, abuse, adultery, finances---that married people have always dealt with.

In the early twentieth century and prior to that, there were just as many strained and unhappy marriages, but divorces were much more difficult to obtain. While some couples did separate and even divorce, many felt pressure, both societal and from family, to stay in the marriage and deal with the situation. Women had fewer opportunities for financial independence, especially if they had children.
