Most marriages/relationships end in divorce/splitting up. The figure is just over 50% for marriages within ten years and over 70% for relationships within seven years.
Add in the 40% of couples only still together because of kids/finances or just scared to change or think it's too late or not worth it now and it's bleak. Most of the non-singles are going around in quiet misery. (The figures aren't mine, they're from one of those plate glass universities that count tomato seeds and things.)
That doesn't make it any easier for lonely singles, of course, but it must be better to be fed up on your own than completely p!ssed off with whoever you live with. Married men come on here on Christmas Day. Think of that.
I see myself as a serial bachelor. I know it's never going to last and I'm never disappointed. So ah'm oot!
