Would you leave your romantic partner if somebody better came along?

[jennifer_bloom]

Yes

No

[dantetheexplorer]

As opposed to phones, laptops, digital devices, etc, it's very difficult to make obvious comparisons between one person and another and come to a verdict of who is "better"?

Does "better" mean someone who is more successful in their careers? Someone who is more intelligent? Someone who is kinder, more good-hearted? Someone who has the world's resources at their feet? Or a decent person who always wants to better himself?

In some cases, I suppose you could say that one person is "better" than another. But people come in all shapes and sizes, so I would posit that it would be challenging in most cases to make a side-by-side comparison and conclude on whether someone is "better" than another person.

It's not like a phone, or a car, or TV, where we can simply "upgrade" to a better model.

Since we are dealing with people, ofttimes, the heart has a greater pull than the brain.

ONLY if my current relationship was absolutely ruined and trash at that point in time. BUT I wouldn’t jump into dating that girl right away. I’d break up, stay single. And then when I feel I’m ready proceed with the other girl. It’s so wrong to jump from one person to another

[PinkMichae]

Hell no. They only seem better because you haven't had the time to really know them. Only if you are truly not happy with your partner do you leave. Never forget there's always a honeymoon period when you first meet people before both of you really trust each other enough to really open up. Then it's a whole different experience living with each other and finding out if you're compatible that way. You might find out some really annoying things about them that you just can't spend your life dealing with.

[witherwing]

If someone "better" came along, I wouldn't even notice. I don't look at people in that way.

[Logorithim]

No, she is perfectly compatible with me. There is no one better.

[MannMitAntworten]

Better? How do you qualify better? If involved with someone, I am there because I am emotionally invested in them, they somehow complete me and make life better. Not because I need someone around to fill the quiet moments or whatever. It is when I cease feeling this way towards them that I end things and it has ALWAYS happened WITHOUT another laying in wait.

Not sure how better can exist unless one simply is not feeling fulfilled by their present relationship. In which case, just end it and move on. Why torture yourself sticking things out?

[Prettygurl12]

Bahahaha even if I wanted to, we're married. We done went and got the court involved in our relationship lmao

Before y'all jump down my throat, I'm kidding. I am happily married. He is the sun, the moon, and all the stars. We met once in 2005, again in 2007, started dating in 2012, got engaged in 2016, and got married in 2018. There's been more than enough time for "something better" to come along lol

[Jjpayne]

It's tough, that's what always seems to happen, you settle for a good person then that person you were looking for finally shows up. It's encouraged in romantic movies too :( but I would hope I would be faithful and strong enough to not have that happen

[Price511]

If they treat me better than the other one did (and I mean like sort of unhappy relationship) then yeah I would. But that's a rarity.

[PinkMichae]

They always treat you better at first. People are on their best behavior when you first meet.

[Price511]

I'm pretty good at easily breaking facades and seeing through them. I had to learn how to in order to survive in my family.

[midnightmoon05]

No, I still live by my rule. Respect, integrity for my partner and myself.
If I do that, what doest that say about me as a person?

[Nivinxus]

Errr... if my partner is trash, probably? This question is too general, you need to be more specific.

[emmily2396]

If i was in a toxic relationship yes, if things are great no

[justsomeperson2u]

There is no one better. He has his flaws, as everyone does, but for me he is perfect.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

Define better. If you don't mean someone I would love more then what I love my current girl then no I wouldn't.

[james0000]

I would never leave my loyal landwhale for a hot young sexy virgin with big boobs and a double phd in neurology

[DECENTSCOTTISHLAD999]

Nope no way when l fall in love with a girl its very real and true love and l am very loyal /caring/loving and always respect the girl

[blondfrog]

If it was a partner who I was romantically in love with then no, only exception I would trade up is Lindsey Stirling or Carly Jepsen lol.

[Lance1965]

I have never done the upgrade thing. That is a territory of women but yeah some men do it too.

[TacosRAwesome]

Depends on how bad my partner is though I wouldn't date the other person.

[TaureanBull81]

I'd only leave if my current relationship was beyond repair and on the verge of breaking up!

[DakotaNorth]

Yes unless he becomes more attentive and not distant.

[WhoDatGuy]

It's called hypergamy and it's a female trait (yes men have it too)

[zagor]

At the moment that would be anyone who looks better than my right hand, so yes, but in general no.

[Ayan17]

If you emotionally attached to that person you will not see anyone as better than them

[fulloflife]

im just getting to know my man.. so hold off on this note

[Joker_]

I would leave my romantic partner if somebody better came along

[red_knight]

I'd only leave if I was cheated on or they kept humiliating me

[AkshiJanjua]

lol people do all the time...
we call it cheating 😂

[intjgamer]

How exactly does someone better come along? Lack of initial commitment. Petty

[thomual]

The people who said yes are evil skum.

[SarahsSummer]

wow! so sad that 22% are in loveless relationships

[Paris13]

Not even If someone Paid me. xx

[Bad_Man55]

It's all circumstantial

[PrincessGrail]

No...

[Wowgirl30q]

G dang it @princessgrail 😂

[PrincessGrail]

@Wowgirl30q sorry dude. You’re outta luck 😂.

[Wowgirl30q]

It's happening again 😂

[xjesssx]

I wouldn't believe there could be anyone better

[lollyboy]

The grass is always greener. It all depends

[Titanic1912]

No. But it depends on who the other one is like.

[JimboGB]

These questions are way too general.

[TengoSueño]

Never!

[madisonleroy]

No like who does that I don't know

[ecfresh]

Of course not.

[Anonymous]

No but I would fuck her.

[Anonymous]

No. I would just ad her as a new side-chick.

[Saurav11]

Yup.

[Wowgirl30q]

I did

[lernulo]

And do you think it was a good decision?

[Wowgirl30q]

[Lizalogan]

[Sha84]

[brittslitt]
