Money at root of most couples' break-ups

Britons are more than twice as likely to end a relationship because of disagreements about money as they are for any other reason, according to a survey.

Some 58 per cent of single people said money had played some part in the breakdown of their last relationship, the study by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk showed.

Only 21 per cent said they had broken up with a partner because of infidelity, while 17 per cent said they had stopped loving their other half and 15 per cent said work had got in the way of their relationship.

A further 14 per cent said their relationship had broken down because of constant arguing.
