What would you consider grounds for divorce?

For me, all the above except infertility, dissatisfaction in the bedroom, and lack of spark. Those can be worked on, but things like trust issues and abuse are more serious.

If you divorce someone for being infertile then, in my opinion, you didn't love them as much as you should've and should never have married them in the first place! If the only problem is your partners infertility then you have choices; adoption, sperm/egg donor, surrogate, etc.
I choose ALL would be grounds for divorce EXCEPT extreme weight gain, porn addiction, committed serious crime and infertility. The serious crime thing is a little iffy. Example, say if my man killed/harmed someone protecting me or family, I would stick my his side 25 to life

Lies, especially a drug or alcohol problem!

Cheating, emotional abuse, and physical abuse. The rest I think one should at least try couple's counseling before heading for divorce court. I also really hate divorce as I watched my parents go through it, so I'm not one to jump to it unless something "unforgivable" has been done. I'd consider those three things unforgivable.
Now, if you go to counseling and don't make progress, then a lot more of those may be grounds for divorce. Weight gain never. Infertility no. As for the serious crime, it would depend on the crime. If my husband killed someone, I'd probably run for the hills. He's been to jail for some small stuff and I'm still with him though. So it would just depend on what we're counting as "serious."

I think that emotional/sexual disconnect are reasons for divorce but only when everything has been explored as an option first.
06/16/2012
Almost all of those are grounds for me to file a divorce except for weight gain and infertility. Those can be worked on or found a way around. Other things are unforgivable.

About a half-dozen of those contributed to my own divorce (the emotional abuse being the top reason).
Another reason not listed is incompatibility in the first place.

Cheating, drug problem, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse, S/he committed a serious crime (if it puts my kids at risk of being taken from me.)

Most of those but not infertility as I don't think I want children, and not porn addiction, because I love it too. A serious crime would depend on if it was towards an animal or child or just a one time violent occurrence that could just happen to anyone.

I would NEVER divorce over weight gain. As long as they loved me, I'm fine with it.
06/16/2012
deff. not weight gain! WTF

For most, it's just if the trust is gone, so is the love.

I'm a ride or die kinda girl. If you've shown me a lifetime of support, unyielding love and respect... I'll help you bury the body.
The Husband comes first. He's got my back and I have his. We make a great team.

To be honest almost all of the options are grounds for divorce if the couple cannot resolve the issues to the satisfaction of both parties. Hopefully this is just a curiosity question and not a real life problem?

I have exactly three reasons to divorce someone. Infidelity, abuse of any kind, and hiding something major. Like, hugely major. Killed somebody and ate them major. Not surprise birthday parties.
Anything else has the potential to be worked through.
Having seen my parents divorce over the most stupid things, I will never divorce my (future) husband unless there's something hugely wrong.

Anything to do with dishonesty, disrespect, and infidelity.

I would be willing to work with most things, but I'd have to see that the need to change and be better comes from within.

almost all of those
02/03/2013
Oh wow this poll made me sad. Most of these I checked, really.
02/04/2013
I only checked physical abuse but mental would be right up there too. There were a couple more but mostly these two without hesitation.

cheating, lying, some sort of addiction that they cant or wont get help for, any sort of abuse. i would always try to work it out before though, except for the abuse.
