Has anyone noticed how a HUGE percentage of people in romantic relationships, are not even happy with the romantic relationship?

And a lot of times they SEEM happy having the other person be their boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, but a lot of times things are not what they seem.

I agree. A lot of these people aren’t happy with each other. They either rushed or settled. Then someone ends up cheating, taking advantage of the other person, and both people have wasted their time.

[Steven8000]

The percentage of cheating has gone through the roof in recent years. I know this one guy who says his wife is a bitch yet doesn't divorce her. And I don't even know why he decided to have her as his girlfriend before the marriage, if he thinks she is a bitch.

[Isismoonie]

He has abandonment issues and doesn’t want to be alone. She is the same.

And do you agree that I don't have to have romantic relationship experience myself to notice this? The guy below is being sarcastic and he knows I never had a romantic relationship by my precious posts because he asks"How do you know about what you asked, if you don't have romantic relationship experience?" He has commented on my other posts of me complaining about never having a girlfriend and harsh to me under those posts, so he is obviously being sarcastic. Anyways me never having a romantic relationship myself has nothing to do with my question? Do you agree? I don't have to have had a romantic relationship myself to notice what many people in romantic relationships go through. Agree?

[Isismoonie]

No you do not have to. Kids see that adults have bad relationships 😂

[NZGirl07]

I definitely agree. I think a lot of it comes down to people being so comfortable in a situation they are scared to move even if they are not happy. Also breaking up with someone or divorcing is a huge life change. It can mean moving out, custody arrangements for kids, finding a new job etc. So I understand why people stay, but I think life is too short to be unhappy with someone when everyone has their soulmate somewhere.

I never had a girlfriend and Im 30. I turn 31 this August. I wonder if it is never going to happen. Lol.

What is your experience with this issue?

[Steven8000]

Seeing coworkers, friends, family members, etc. in romantic relationships in the thirty years of my life. I have known so many people in my life in romantic relationships and still do. I am not talking out of my ass.

[OlderAndWiser]

Have YOU ever had a romantic relationship?

[Steven8000]

No I haven't. I don't have to have a romantic relationship myself to notice that a ton of people are not happy being in a romantic relationship. What does your question have to do with anything? That is as dumb as asking someone, that says the fact that many people have been molested,"Well have you been molested?"No I haven't but I still know that many people have or will get molested.

[Steven8000]

Me never having a romantic relationships has nothing to do with me noticing what many people in romantic relationships go through. I don't have to expedite something myself to notice what many other people go through with what I am talking about. Logix

Logic

The fact that your immediate response is to call me "dumb" - because YOU don't understand my question - is probably one of the explanations for why you have never had a relationship.

There actually are two good reasons for me asking that question but I am going to end this conversation now. Good bye.
