Survey Results - Third Question: Causes of Divorce

[Boethius]

It's quite interesting to read about the causes of divorces in international couples. From my experience, a lot of those reasons can be united under the large subheading "Failing to manage expectations". It's absolutely essential she knows your daily routine, has seen your home on video and knows what your town (city, village) is like. But even professors of universities, who are supposed to be exceptionally smart, fail to do it, for some reason.Check "58 questions to ask Russian, Ukrainian women when dating" (just Google it). If you do not know answers to these questions and you are as much as planning a personal meeting, you are in trouble. Find out these things before moving anywhere further.By the way, in response to Boethius, MOB industry didn't "dry up" in Russia. It also is not flourishing in Ukraine. PPL (pay-per-letter or "paid correspondence") which is plagued with scams is rampant in Ukraine but not in Russia - but not for the reasons of GDP differences. Simply in Russia everything people do online is being watched. No one wants to be the next guy to go to jail. In Ukraine, a different story. It's (how to say it in a politically correct way?) plenty of freedom there.In fact, we on Elenasmodels.com have more women from Russia than from Ukraine. Because in Russia they push "family values" much harder, it's the government's policy, and single women and girls are depressed if they don't have a husband and a child. Seriously - I had a person commenting on the blog about suicide groups, girls as young as 26 are depressed and want to "cut it" because they don't have a baby and are not married.So, maybe the PPL industry is flourishing in Ukraine (it definitely seems so, judging by the number of ads on Ukrainian job portals for people to work in "dating chat"). But it's not real dating anyway, it's "paid correspondence". You are just paying to someone to talk to you. (Think phone sex, it's about the same.)However, there are more serious Russian women seeking partners abroad (who will talk to you for free) than ever. Actually, we have 2 times more women registering daily than 2 years ago in 2014. Maybe it's the economic crisis, maybe the accessibility (every young woman has a smartphone with Internet access and free Wi-Fi is easily available at coffee shops and shopping centres). More than 64% of women on our site are from Russia - not Ukraine.The undisputed fact is, we have MORE women not less who want a foreign husband than before. We have more women seeking a match with a foreigner from BOTH Ukraine and Russia than 2 years ago.So, I don't know where you get your numbers from, finding a foreign husband is definitely going mainstream in Russia. Especially because now nearly every woman knows someone who got married to a foreigner and moved abroad.

The MOB business certainly did dry up in Russia.  If it had not, there would be many agencies there. There are not.

Knowing someone's routines or whether they have a pet (one of your "essential" questions) is not going to manage expectations. Knowing the essence of the person you are with will. Unfortunately, it is impossible to really know a person until you live with him/her.

I saw a week ago an interesting statistic -
  50% of first marrige will end with devorse.
  Only 40% of divorced people will mary again and only 40 % will devorse second time.
  Then only 20% will try again and will devorse 30%.
So if we take 100 % people it will be like 50 m 50 d, then 12 m 8 d and then 1,6 m and 0,48 d.
50+12+1.6=63,6 % will be in marriage any way. 36.4 % will be alone afterwards.

I once read a statistic that said those who are on their second marriage will have a 70% chance of divorcing. Those who are on their 3rd marriage will have a 90% chance of divorcing.

It seems some people aren't marriage material and can't get along with anybody for an extended period of time.
