just say yes dear n lose ur will to manhood,lol.
I said lack of respect because it seems to cover every other reason. The main reason that I think is not on the list and that is undervaluing your partner...taking them for granted....belittling and personal attacks...and of course other forms of lack of respect.
Obstinance_Works: Men and women's attitudes towards jewellery is an example of this. More men than women look at a piece of gold and think that's just a lump of metal and is practically useless(and there you have the seeds of Socialism; real socialism, not left-liberalism and welfare).
Women, however, see the rarity and the glitzy shiny, shiny and being superfluous and impractical by nature come to value it(and there you have the consumer-capitalist spirit).

You are sadly out of touch with most men Obst! Think watches, oh, so shiny!
Excerpt from Wall Street Journal - Yes to tie clips. No to gold chains.
IT HAS BEEN said a man needs no more ornaments than a watch and wedding ring. Perhaps that's because the idea of men wearing jewelry can evoke images of gold chains framed by a barely buttoned shirt. But there are many degrees of decoration between a strict limit of watch and wedding ring—with the occasional cuff links, of course—and the stuff of "Saturday Night Fever."
A few old-school accent pieces have started to make their way back into the gentleman's wardrobe—the signet ring, the tie clip and the lapel pin—thanks, in part, to the influence that the '50s have been wielding on menswear runways.
But how to wear all this hardware? "There are a million ways to get it wrong and only a few to get it right," said Tyler Thoreson, vice president of men's editorial and creative at Gilt Groupe. "That's part of the fun—it's a little tricky, and more rewarding to pull off in a sophisticated way."

After 30 years of marriage, (and many separations/getting back together), I finally stopped taking him back!
Lack of communicating and respect and loyalty etc.
Men..for not understanding!!!!

Felixis.... I think when men and women get married the guy thinks OK now we are going to do some stuff I want to do ..... the woman says hell I got him now I don't have to do anything !
Back when I got married as soon as I said I do ....she said well I don't ...not anymore !
Lack of trust
i think selfishness plays a part. and that might manifest as neediness, or
expectations/demands of the 'other', or self serving behaviors which lose sight of the 'Us'.
there's not much 'Us' ...in 'me, me, me'.

Great posts all! Too many to answer individually, sorry! 
It is interesting to see all the viewpoints.
Sometimes questions like this make you think about issues you never really thought about in depth before.
I am more of a lump of metal type.

well your bad experience is unfortunate, but it is not necessarily the same experience that other people have had. There;s enough of that to go around tho....like I said, taking each other for granted is a sure death knell to a relationship - good example
People's wants and needs can change over time.
2 people have to keep communicating and working together to keep a relationship going. Once one person withdraws from the other or wants something completely different, things can go pear shaped.

Lack of commitment.
Hi Life
Yes, maintaining commitment is an ongoing task.

How to spot an abuser early and split fast? Mental as well as physical. Could save your life.
I googled how to spot a female abuser and got two pages of stuff on male abusers. Are males the only mental abusers?

Hi Molly!
Humans we are not perfect but when two persons decide to commit to a relationship, they grow together.
Stedan: When one is married or has a steady partner but is working away...being faithful to that person constitutes a true relationship....so the fallacy of not being able to do without is a load of hogwash...
I agree
mollybaby: I agree
Thank you...
Stedan: Thank you...
You're welcome
