Could it be due to a dearth/absolute lack of a support system in the form of the influence of the extended family [as is the case in naija] in helping moderate domestic problems/issues, coz something's desperately going wrong in many marriages in diaspora [I'm speaking from a personal observation of failed marriages of naija acquaintances and family friends in my area, of otherwise decent folks, who quickly become bitter enemies after parting ways].
