While it\u2019s true that infidelity puts a great strain on any marriage or partnership, the Office of National Statistics has just released some interesting figures which show that financial problems or even long working hours are much more likely to be a \u2018deal breaker\u2019 in a relationship than by either partner having an affair.<\/p>\n
Although one third of those surveyed said infidelity would place a great strain on the relationship, two thirds said that financial woes would have a much more damaging effect. Forty percent of people questioned also claimed that long working hours were more detrimental than adultery.<\/p>\n
Sian Aung<\/strong>, a Partner at leading regional law firm RRP Associates and a specialist in Family Law says \u201cBased on my considerable experience in handling divorce, separation and mediation cases I\u2019m not at all surprised by these latest figures. I think a lot of couples are willing to overlook an infidelity, especially for the sake of the children, but financial woes can really put a strain on any relationship and can be the cause of serious arguments and stress.<\/p>\n \u201cIt can also be really complex to get all of the details about a partner\u2019s assets when a relationship breaks down or the couple may have built up a business or investments together. Although a lot of couples going through financial troubles may decide their best option is to stay together sometimes a situation can reach breaking point and there\u2019s no going back. It\u2019s always very sad for whatever reason when a couple decide to split up.\u201d<\/p>\n For further information please contact us on 0845 263 7505 or email RRP Associates info@rrpassociates.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" While it\u2019s true that infidelity puts a great strain on any marriage or partnership, the Office of National Statistics has just released some interesting figures which show that financial problems or even long working hours are much more likely to be a \u2018deal breaker\u2019 in a relationship than by either partner having an affair.
