Reason I married my husband…'I was blinded by love'

Divorced women reported being “blinded by love” when they married for the first time, while divorced men said they felt pressure to tie the knot, a survey said.

The survey from “re-marriage” agency Only-U and matching agency Bien-Aller asked 520 divorcees about the reasons they married their first partner.

Over 35 percent of women reported being “blinded by love” as the reason for marrying, the top response among females. Some 31 percent of men cited peer pressure.

Men also cited their ex-wives family background as a motivator for marriage, while women cited assertiveness.

Regarding married life, respondents had various complaints, such as “I found a flaw that I didn’t acknowledge before (Men 13.5%, Female 20.4%),” and “He/she didn’t meet my expectations (Men 36.2%, Female 51.2%).”

When it came to perception of their ex-spouse, females were more likely to vent their wrath on their ex-husband (71.6%), while only half of the men (49.7%) answered negatively.
