Why are the hydrogen bonds of a certain molecule weaker in solution (with water as a solvent) than in a vacuum?

I'm supposed to have three reasons, and so far all I can come up with is that the water lowers the activation energy required to form the bond and that the molecules' entropy increases in water. Am I missing something important?

The molecule can form H bonds with water, too.
