I hope my relationship never comes to divorce...but abuse would easily be a reason for me to leave if it ever happened.
What would you consider grounds for divorce?

Almost all of these to different degrees.
Infertility I don't care about. Weight gain is not a problem unless they're trying to eat themself to death or something.
And it depends on what that "serious crime" is. There are several illegal things I'm not morally opposed to.

Most of those would make me want a divorce. especially the cheating. I'm a very jealous person..

Going to have to say all of the above. If the relationship is going bad, it's going bad. It doesn't matter what the ostensible reason is.

Drinking or drug problem, Emotional abuse, Physical abuse or S/he committed a serious crime.

The only ones I did not check were infertile and weight gain.
I would be thrilled if myself or my partner ended up infertile honestly...I don't want kids of my own and it would make life easier if one of us is infertile if I end up with someone of the opposite sex.

I'm sure theres lots of reasons for people, abuse is a definite one... I got divorced because 7 months after my ex got back from his deployment he started sexting an ex girlfriend and took my truck and took off to Cali, that was my last straw so I filed

I checked all but infertility and weight gain. The OP says this is assuming things have been worked on with no improvement....I'm not one to walk away without trying my hardest, but all of those are reasons to walk if they can't be fixed, and some of them are reasons to walk without trying to fix (abuse, mainly)

Oh goodness. I checked almost all of them. I must have high standards.

Cheating (again), serious lies, and abuse would be grounds for divorce for me.

I do feel really bad checking almost all of them, but thankfully I think they are all hard to imagine ever happening.

I believe in making it work almost no matter what. I have discussed this with my partner and she feels the same way. We are committed to making it work like in the "old days"
Yes, I do believe in divorce if there are such extreme happenings, but I have lived though my parents divorcing. I would not wish that on anyone!

Almost all of these things.

I agree with this pretty much verbatim. I'd stick around through even cheating -- I have. There are very few things that really can't be fixed if you're both up to it, and if you say "I do" then you SHOULD be up for it. Otherwise, you shouldn't be married IMO.

Cheating, emotional abuse, and physical abuse. The rest I think one should at least try couple's counseling before heading for divorce court. I also really hate divorce as I watched my parents go through it, so I'm not one to jump to it unless something "unforgivable" has been done. I'd consider those three things unforgivable.
Now, if you go to counseling and don't make progress, then a lot more of those may be grounds for divorce. Weight gain never. Infertility no. As for the serious crime, it would depend on the crime. If my husband killed someone, I'd probably run for the hills. He's been to jail for some small stuff and I'm still with him though. So it would just depend on what we're counting as "serious." less

Cheating is the big one here. Though I think abuse would be one as well.
