Divorce Grounds

If cheating is grounds for divorce, then lack of attention and understanding is grounds for..?

So many posts in this section are about inattentive spouses or lack of trust in marriages. I was just curious are these things on the same level as cheating. Just curious. Just curious.

1. Lack of attention is a cause for cheating which is grounds for divorce.
2. Yes, absolutly..
3. I was engaged 10 months ago, I left my fiancee because of lack of understanding, attention and communication. It was a very draining relationship and I had enough. The man has to understand that women have different needs and if he wants her then he must do his part or else the relationship is broken.
4. Those would be grounds for marriage counseling.
5. It's worse than cheating. It's a conscious, daily, act that someone has decided is ok to do to the person they are supposed to love the most in this world.
6. Communicating. If people just communicated, without screaming, half the other crap wouldn't exist.
7. Not exactly but they can make one think someone is cheating. I think that if your spouse is not paying attention to you they are distracted by something. You need to find out what that something is because it could be that they are cheating which could lead to a divorce. However, its better to ask and get help than just assume.
8. Lack of attention and understanding often lead to cheating .You know the rest of the story...
9. Gosh no !! I can put up with lack of attention now an then As it may be down to many reasons for this ?? But i would,nt put with him cheating
10. it would be a good accuse to end a marriage !!
11. It's grounds for counseling. Don't get divorced just because you're not getting attention. If you don't trust one another, learn to. I know it's difficult to do, I have severe trust issues, but I'm slowly overcoming them with the help of my fiance. Communicate with one another, they might not even realize that they are doing these things. Don't get angry about it. Don't yell about it. Don't get defensive. Just let them know how you feel and really talk. Listen to what they have to say about it. It's going to be hard, but it's possible. It's not on par with cheating. It's not grounds for divorce. It is a red flag that you two are not communicating with each other enough. Once you've gone through all the steps to try to fix it, really trying, and it doesn't work, then divorce can become an option.
12. Lack of attention and understanding is grounds for a couple to sit down and talk through the issues that are causing the problem. Cheating is never the sole problem that causes a divorce. It is the underlying problems that cause a spouse to feel lost in the relationship enough to cheat.
