Would you break up with someone if you found someone better?

[randomuser94]

Yes

No

[ak666]

Unlikely if "better" is some cold, rationalized way of looking at things. Once I fall for a girl, she becomes like "the one", flaws and all. If I found a less flawed version of a similar girl, she still wouldn't compare to "the one" since I haven't built those dreams of being together that elevated her to a whole new level.

If "better" is like a case where I was with a girl I didn't love very much at all, and this new girl came along and it seemed like I could fall much harder for her, then I might very well leave. That said, I tend to just leave girls sooner than that when I get the impression that I'll never fall for her so deeply.

Yes. Why should anyone settle in a relationship they obviously don't really want to be in if they think they found someone better? 58% no = I call bullshit.

[IEat70sBush]

58% no = they'd stay in the original relationship and cheat with the one they think is better apparently.

When you really love someone.. then no one is better, because you accept the not so good parts of your partner... if there comes a moment when you think "I could be with that person because is better than the one I alredy have".. then rethink your relationship.. not because of this other opportunity.. but for the fact that you are even considering it... and also think of this.. there is always going to be someone "better", more handsome, more successful, more money, smarter, sexier, and also remember that the same applies for you... good luck :)

[randomuser94]

if you love someone and no one is better than that doesn't really apply to this question does it?

[Nyx_85]

I don't look for other people when I'm dating someone. I only break up with them when it's obvious the relationship isn't working out. Then I'm typically single for a good while afterwards. I can't go from guy to guy.

[MarbleLines]

If I care about the guy I'm with then other guys don't even compare so the thought that someone else might be better doesn't even cross my mind

[LunaW]

Only I would break up is if the relationship was not working out, because I wouldn't find anyone better unless I was looking.

Humans are the epitome of mediocre. When I bond with someone, they subjectively become better because I know them well; I am comfortable around them. Leaving for someone else just means going through the steps of uncertainty and suspicion again. Once I have decided on my mate, they are the only one for me until -they- prove me otherwise, not someone else.

TL;DR: I'm not going to leave my partner because of how well someone else may or may not be. I would leave my partner only if I deem them harmful to be around.

[chrisbigman]

Would I break up with someone if I found someone better? Why am I looking for someone better if I'm already with someone? Unless she's abusive and/or harmful towards me (physically, emotionally, mentally, etc), there's no reason for me to be looking for someone (better). If it's not working out, I'd cease the relationship before I start looking for someone else.

[ShaunaM95]

It depends on what sense is better? If I was being treated like crap in the initial relationship then I would.

[rosemary123]

True that girlfriend

[randomuser94]

better as in better. you can have good pizza and then eat better pizza. you can have a good boyfriend and then like another guy better

[singlebee]

And what if you are being treated right and you are happy? Would you still leave?

[randomuser94]

yes. if the person is better? why should anyone settle just because the other person was there first? odds are even it won't work out anyway

[ShaunaM95]

If I was being treated right and I was genuinely happy then no I wouldn't leave.

[serious]

Well, I have always been single and I wish to be single always so what you are asking will never happen. However just to answer your question:

My answer would be " NO" never!.

[ThisDudeHere]

What defines better in this case? The only way I'd break up with my girlfriend, if I had one, is if I found too many faults in her, not if I saw someone else.

[genericname85]

if i somehow get to know them as well as my partner and she is clearly better in many aspects, i´ll consider it. but i don´t think i will get to know another girl that good while i´m with a girl.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

If i was in a relationship i wouldn't break up with someone to find someone new unless i was being treated like crap.

[User92]

Only if if the relationship wasn't really working out then yeah but if the relationship is going great I'll still stay

[FaithfulGuardian]

you have to be more specific, sir. better at what? compatibility? wealth? how well being treated?

[Anonymous]

it's hilarious that you expect an honest answer from girls.

[truthbeknown]

There is always someone else better!

[John_Doesnt]

I would break up just for fun.

[Iraqveteran666]

There is no one better.

[rjroy3]

Define better

[randomuser94]

use a dictionary or the internet

[rjroy3]

Or you could be clearer considering "better" in this example is subjective.

[randomuser94]

better meaning better what is complicated about the word better?

[rjroy3]

Scrolling through the feed and finding I'm not the only one that asked for clarification I feel confident in saying, "Do better".

[randomuser94]

go back to grade school

[rjroy3]

Bro.

Do better.

[DizzyAster]

Yes, I would.

[Ghazwan2]

No. ...

[JCT666]

Yes.
