Resum

This paper explores the characteristics, causes and consequences of the breakup process of binational couples. Previous research found significant differences in the separation processes of binational couples and usually conclude that they are at greater risk of separation. But most studies attempting to explain relationship breakdown processes are based on statistical data and therefore do not reveal the complexity of the decision process. In our study, based on interviews over a 12-year period, we analyze the importance and centrality of "cultural dissimilarity" to explain the separation processes of mixed couples. The data obtained allow to establish the significance of certain elements that add nuance to the theory of homogamy/heterogamy by showing how the ‘cultural distance’ is not a central argument in most breakup experiences but that it helps to shape the discourse
