Is It Normal To Divorce Because You Have Outgrown Your Partner ?r by tobechi74: 8:56pm On Nov 04, 2020
Just as a child graduates from high school into college, his priorities shift. The courses he takes become more narrow. He drops some classmates behind and retain few classmates who share the same college preference and same course. We do not go remain in high school out of loyalty to our friends.


As we age, our values, hobbies job etc changes. This is a sign of growth.one whose priority remain constant is stagnant like a child who fails to learn . Our choice of life partner also change.

It’s not a norm but it’s not a taboo. But your focus should be on your personal happiness. If you are no longer happy in the relationship or marriage then take a walk.

P.S You are supposed to grow together. If you say ‘bored’ that’s more understandable.

A partner is one who embark on a similar journey with us. As our priority changes, that of our partner may remain the same or change in a different direction. One partner is taking a leap in one direction and the other partner is watching while giving her full support . There are other relationship where the other partner discourage you from keeping up to your new ideal.you no longer feel connected. You become incompatible . Just because you are in a union does not mean you must follow our partner as he/ she changes her priorities

Whenever one wants to be with the other person.we let them embark on the journey.We communicate our feeling openly and arrive at a mutual agreement of divorce than to live in denial with all it’s lies and betrayal. A monogamous relationship does not necessarily mean we own our partner.It is not a life sentence. It is a process for growth. Letting go can become a gain rather than a loss when it leads us to our higher self.we can still retain the friendship while taking time to grow . Sticking to a union that does not lead to a higher growth can be detrimental to our wellbeing

he is not bored but is no longer interested because of improved status

his decision is no different from a classic case where a road side mechanic is married to a fellow bread seller .10 years down the line the bread seller is now a chartered accountant and works at kpmg.
now she wants a divorce because the road side mechanic is no longer upgradeable

The best relationship is the relationship where each promise to tell the truth even when it hurts. Cheating arises when one begins to hide the truth because our partner may not be able to handle it. Not all relationship are meant to last forever. Some relationship are meant to propel us to a greater height. Some relationship brings out hidden potential in us we never new existed. Another relationship improves on that potential. No monogamous relationship is a failure. Each has one lesson to teach us. It takes wisdom to know when a relationship has served its purpose and move into a new one.

We should not just bail out of every relationship. We should be sure that the reason for unfulfimment in the union does not arises out of faults. Rather, we discover we no longer derive Joy in activitiess we used to . One partner has encountered a change in Religion and we cannot tolerate that .We feel lonely in the presence of our partner and alive in the presence of another without any reason . We should examine ourself to know whether we are in the union out of fear or out of love. Are we scared of what people we say when I leave? Am I scared of loosing certain previledges? We cannot truely grow in an environment of fear

I get it totally. All I’m saying is that the couple are not in sync in the first place. If they were, they will grow together in their various fields of interest. Men marry waec holders and encourage/ sponsor them to become graduates. It boils down to the level of commitment in the relationship.

@ op If you are not bored with her and she’s interested in improving herself, you can correct the past mistake by talking to her(not in a condescending manner please), encouraging and sponsoring her in her chosen interest. Try to build up your relationship and if that fails you can walk away knowing you did your best.

Several years ago,I was squating with a relation before I could get my own apartment. During the buisness news, the husband lamented how the market capitalisation had dropped down and how the change in government had led to uncertainty among investors. He predicted a decline in the market share price in the next few years.  His wife nodes her head like she was following only to say moments later.

I like the style of her blouse.

I could see the dissapointment in the husbands face. He found it difficult to engage in social- economic discussion with the wife. Here he was discussing serious issues and she was interested in a piece of clothing material.  Both of them were from two different worlds.

Today,I heard they were involved in divorce litigation. He was accused of committing adultery. was not surprised. She was a fashion designer with many apprentice working for her. He was a financial analyst .


The relationship was dead from the beginning. It was only a matter of time before it could manifest.We must always be in relationship with like minded individuals as this motivates us in our day to day life. Our partner shapes our life and our thoughts. When we exchange ideas and values with those who have similar goals and inspirations it plays an important role

so the man in your example left his wife who was director of her shop to be sleeping with trainee girls who don't even have a shop and possibly don't have a degree.
and you are saying people should marry like-minded people to avoid divorce.the man in your examples that went sleeping around with girls below his wife's class were like-minded?
