There are countless reasons why couples breakup, but in a study that asked more than a hundred dating couples who had just broken up to write an anonymous essay on "why we broke up"," top three reasons ascend.

First, their desire for autonomy. Some men and women complained of feeling trapped by their partners. One guy wrote "She was upset whenever I went out with friends, even during special occasions." Another woman said, "I felt like a possession with no choice at all." Most individuals want love and attachment in a relationship, but not at the expense of losing their freedom.

Lack of similarity was next on the list of reasons why couples breakup. Both men and women discovered that as the relationship forged ahead, their values, attitudes and interests simply did not fit in. Whether it involved genuinely embraced religious beliefs or something as seemingly superficial as movie preference, lack of similarity was a commonly referred reason for breaking up. If a relationship is "for keeps", we feel the need for connection on things that matter to us.

The third most common reason for a breakup is lack of supportiveness. Many men and women complained that their partners were not sympathetic, understanding and caring. People often need an encouraging word or a caring hug when they feel bereaved and when they do not find this, they feel neglected. We want someone whom we can share our winnings and faults and will still accept us. Thus, if we do not feel supported by our partner, we want out.
