Why hollywood relationships dont last

Celebrities who are used to having everyone cater to them may be resentful when their partners are demanding of their attention too. This may seem like too much work when they can find others who won't expect as much from them. While it's important to assert your needs in a marriage, a partnership requires decision-making based on three factors: your needs, your partner's needs, and your needs as a couple.

According to Shuter, one reason celebrity relationships break down is because the rules change. He says, "In marriage, most peoples' lives generally stay the same. That doesn't happen to celebrities. One movie or record can change their lives overnight. He adds, "As wonderful as those opportunities sound, it can be very hard on a partner that didn't sign up to be married to the sexiest man alive.

Look at Bradley Cooper. He had a bit part on Sex and the City and then he was the star of 'The Hangover' and that's a massive change. Your partner evolves just like you do. For this reason, it's essential to keep checking in with each other to make sure your needs and wants are aligned.

They assume the other grass is always greener and, the moment those tingles fade, they hop the fence Many non-celebrity couples live with constant pressure, whether that's finances, conflict with the in-laws or just the daily stressors of family life.

Partners who are under stress do tend to take it out on each other. Pressure doesn't bring out the best in most of us. It wears us down. In addition, many couples spend a lot of time apart, whether working or engaging in separate hobbies, and struggle to find a natural routine or couple time. In terms of jealousy, that's almost a given in most relationships, at least to some extent and at some point.

A spouse may be jealous of a partner's new "friend" or even a partner's success, whether at work or at the gym. Success can equal power in a relationship and, if the power balance is unequal, the marriage is on shaky ground. Large age gaps can also cause problems in non-celebrity marriages.
