Are you truly happy in your relationship?

Statistic state:

"83 percent
The second national report " The Happiness Index: Love and Relationships in America," commissioned by eharmony and conducted by Harris Interactive, shows that 83 percent of Americans are "happy" in their romantic relationships with a partner or spouse. Only one in nine people in a relationship are extremely or fairly unhappy"



This has to be a joke. 83 percent? Maybe in another country because



"In the United States, between 35%-50% of first-time marriages end in divorce, increasing to approximately 60% for second marriages and 70+% for marriages after the second. This gives the US one of the highest divorce rates in the world"

Oh I dunno, it depends on how one defines happiness. I'd guess some people are or could be happy being in a loveless marriage where they stay out of each other's way, where the wife doesn't have sex and the man gets to jerk off to porn and pay the bills. A hollow relationship that although not ideal, could be a lot worse, is probably enough for some people to be content. This is all speculation and educated guesses based off what I've heard from other people's relationships, by the way.

If a couple are not having sex and the the husband is jerking off to porn. Then why not just break it off... that sound miserable.

I agree, but some people are OK living that way, I guess. I'm sure you've known plenty of people stuck in bad relationships (bad in one way or another) usually because they are just happy to be in a relationship no matter how bad it is. The prospect of being single is enough to make them content with what they do have.

Not all relationships are perfect, but most people are happier being with a person than alone. Human beings are social creatures and they inherently desire a connection with someone from the opposite sex, so yeah, i think that number is accurate.

Anybody that thinks a relationship should be 100% unconditional love, sex all the time, 100% trust, happiness at high levels at all times without ever going trough "Meh" or tough times is delusional and doomed to be permanently single or looking for something better. Most humans are normal and understand that its just better being with somebody than being alone.
"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."
