Maybe less than 99% of relationship fails like around 50%. I know plenty of people who married young and are still married and their relationships went through a lot but they stayed together in the long run. I know my brother would fit the 99% as he had two failed relationships and he and his first girlfriend each had their own ways of what each should bring to a relationship in terms of money and helping around the house and raising children. His second relationship was the same as the first though I think he know no matter what he did it just wasn't going to work out with his wife. I think sometimes we rush into relationships and don't try to get to know the other person and just see that it will work out over time. Then it doesn't and we feel that the relationship is doomed and over with. Though I understand that no relationship is perfect and people have to work out their problems if possible and deal with the good and bad and try to work it out if possible.
social media, pop culture, movies, modern day feminism (supported by men also), hookup culture, destruction of the nuclear family unit has made attention spans much shorter and everyone has an excuse ready to break off any relationship rather than work on it.
Well duh. It's not like you can plan or predict your own future so that you get it right on the first try. That's the point of dating. To figure yourself out and find the person that fits what you're looking for. Yeah it gets tough. Yeah sometimes it gets down right ridiculous. But such is life.
@spice No I don't agree. You have no evidence backing that percentage.
The reason for relationships ending is people don't know what they are doing.
That is the reason for all break ups.
Most people don't even know how to pick the mate they want let alone everything else.
As long as relationships nowadays remain a "MIND GAME", It will always be bound to fail. Relationship itself has lost it's own meaning. I can't stop but blame the technology a lot to be honest.
It's these social media's and so on that has awoken the flaws and insecurities that has been sleeping inside us for such long time. We've been triggered, and every action has a reaction. Therefore some actions have taken place that has got us to take a reaction. That's why we end up failing.
From my view, it's all because the people in relationships are getting together and staying together at such a young age. 18-29 is so young in my opinion. People are desperate for love and want to care for someone. But they're only thinking about that and not getting their lives together first. So many ruined relationships all because financial problems and fights start happening. If they're strong, they'll pull through. If not, down the gutter they go.
And there's still so many other reasons. Girl or guy. They can't stay true to their partner, so they meet up with others and fuck their own relationship up. Why can't people just be happy with what you have? Why does it always have to be more?
I agree and yet I disagree.
I've seen relationships flourish! They stay strong and get through the bad times and even though they fight, they come together in the end. Better for it. A stronger foundation.
Not sure about 99 percent but I know it definitely increased , I blame social media for damaging a lot of relationships, Everyone is a cheater , can’t trust no one , Every girl is a whore every guy is a player , when we feed our heads with this useless knowledge it makes people doubt what they have with someone , if your partner does this , it pretty much means they do this , so best advice is put your ducking phones down
That's a bit of an overstatement.
Since not everyone subscribes to the modern form of dating — there are traditional people around as well. And there's no way you can tell which one of them is the more efficient method of dating.
50-60% relationships fail.
It’s 100% vs 100%
you must simply give your all or it’s not going to work.
The problem is now days women especially in western culture have already given them selves to a handful of other men before you can get to them and let’s be honest everyone wants brand new car over a pre owned.
Fight me.
Well I can say that all but 96% of my relationships have failed because of differences, family, money, or some other excuse comes into it that just forces things to fail, the 4% of my relationships that didn't fail were because I was in it for a long time.
Not sure if it's 99%, but it is a huge majority. The primary reason is that most people base their relationships solely upon "feelings." Feelings ebb and flow, so when the feelings ebb, people break up because there is no commitment. Commitment is what makes a relationship endure.
highly doubt anyone cares.
I think the reason why they are failing is because nobody knows what a relationship is nowadays to begin with. dudes think its just free and available access to pussy while women think its the privilege to be treated like a princess.
Well It's not a question of whether true love still exists, it's a sign of the changing times. Marriages aren't expected to last a lifetime like they were years ago... People used to routinely stay in marriages long dead for the sake of "the kids" or "what the neighbors would think"... Now it's almost expected to get divorced..
I think the failure rate is high but not that high. I think the cause is because a lack of communication between the partners and the strain the wedding puts on them. Couples that get married by the justice of the peace seem to stick together longer than those having large weddings
2BH,
the only reason relationships fail is either due to trust issues or lack of communication, those are the biggest problems I think, others could be lack of sex, cheating, money but trust issues and communication are the 2 biggest
By "fail" I guess you mean "end?" It could be up in the 80s or 90s because it's hard to find the right person and make it work. For me it has been 83% (5 out of 6). I think literally getting to 99 for one person would be hard since you'd have to have 100 relationships. It was 100% for me though before I found my wife (of 10 years now) so it kind of depends how many people just don't find anyone they always want to be with.
Real love still exist, and probably in most of the breakups too. They break up because they are not willing to put forth the effort to make it work. That has nothing to do with love. It is just plain laziness and maybe a little of not knowing how to work on a relationship. It is easier just to give up on it.
Personally I don’t think we are like penguins 🐧. I don’t think we are programmed to stay with one mate. I know it may sound stupid but we are animals mammals end of the day and it’s hard work to stay in a relationship. Years ago it was a bad thing to be single or not with the opposite gender. And gays well that was illegal.
people in relationships want a girlfriend or boyfriend but want to go out clubbing seeing friends etc that ruins relationships 😠 as too much drink can cause bad shit to happen and plus their friends put things in their head :( people want both its not healthy
It depends on your definition of failure. If two people breakup because they hate each other and arguing all the time I would view that as a failure. On the other hand if two people break up, it's mutual and remain on good terms afterwards I wouldn't consider that a failure.
