Theres such a thing as a divorce gene!

Swedish Scientists have discovered that a 'divorce gene' is linked to relationships breaking down quicker and that men that posses this gene are less likely to be married or less likely to be married, I find it strange to think that there could be a gene that actually causes us to not want to be in a relationship but I'm curious what other people think?

It is probably more likely linked to upbringing rather than an actual gene! Like the fact that many women with abusive partners turn out to have had fathers who abused their mothers. People are drawn to what they know, even if it isn't plesant, as they recognise it. It'll have something to do with that, picking unsuitable partners because of the people they were around growing up.

I mean this as a generalisation, obviously there are always exceptions to any rule..

  My family is made up of losers and people who give up and are lazy, sometimes I wish I was like them, I would have free hours in my day.
