It is absolutely true that some relationship styles are more likely to end in divorce than others. The pursuer/distancer relationship is one of the most likely types of relationships to end in divorce. Unfortunately, it can sometimes take two people to identify the problems in the relationship and take action to resolve and avoid these patterns. When one person is pursuing conversations, and the other is actively avoiding them, tensions can rise. When left unresolved, this type of relationship style can also affect other relationships as well.

Many couples are fortunate to have a second opportunity for love and marriage. People look at a second marriage as another chance for happiness, but from a statistical point of view, the divorce rate per second marriages is higher than the divorce rate for first marriages. Many people do not learn how to adjust behavior or to accept that people have baggage when they are moving from one relationship to the next. Sometimes people bring unhealthy baggage, trust issues, and patterns to new relationships.
