Life observation regarding relationships
I am a 26 years old guy.
I don't know about any official data, but from what I have heard and seen - 90% girlfriend-boyfriend relationships result in breakup sooner or later. Still young idiots fall into it and then crib about it.
The person gets left with 2 things
- Disappointment of losing a person
- Lesser space in heart for your future partner compared to - had you never been in a relationship.
I feel this is the reason ancestors used to say wait for marriage and looked down upon on any other relationships

I only had 1 gf and she is still with me. Hoping to marry her, been 5 short years.
Lucky people. All the best buddy
I broke up with my girlfriend a few months ago. Wouldn't change a thing in hindsight.
Relationships are not just a pass or fail test to see whether you get married. Even though things ended the time we spent together was incredible. The things she taught me, the way she changed my thinking patterns, the way i learnt to live life with more depth. It's worth it even if the breakup hurts.
Running away from relationships entirely and being "macho lone wolf" is not what a strong man is. A strong man is able to open up emotionally and lean on his partner.
Space in your heart is not limited. In fact you learn how to love a person when you're in a relationship.
If this is just a coping mechanism for being single then let it go. If you actually get into a deep meaningful relationship you'll understand what it's like, right now you clearly don't have that perspective.
Be open and positive you'll enjoy life a lot more
It's hard to manage tech job with a relationship which is not marriage
I have been married for a long time to my only gf after 5 yrs of relationship.
There is nothing wrong about being in a relationship, I have seen people improving each other's life.
Also, there is nothing wrong in breaking up amicably if you feel it's not working out and you have put all your efforts.
And I am not advocating Casanova type attitude.
