1. Emotional intelligence - gay people tend to not follow the strict marriage norms of “stay in the relationship because you have to”. If theyre unhappy, they tend to just leave. 2.

Lesbian relationships often move too quickly. It’s gotten to the point where it’s now a joke in the community and is often referred to as “u-hauling”.

Now when it comes to the reasons, I’m sure they’re the same reasons any other couple has for breaking up.
