As someone with a psychology degree I would recommend not basing your worries/prospects on study results and instead just trying your best at relationships. No one can know whether they are in the 80% or the 20% so the results are meaningless, after all you have managed to have a condition that only 1% of people have so something happening to the majority makes no difference really. You dont want to do the 'self fulfilling prophecy' thing.

the statistics are 30% end in murder lol
LOL and the rest of it is wise advice. well said, The-Raven.
i was in a very long-term relationship (married 16 years, together 20) and it has now ended. we are (truly) best friends and i would never go back and change things because they brought me to where i am now. it was a beautiful experience and it worked for us at the time, but it no longer works for us now.
i don't totally understand why a "failed" relationship is really such a big deal to some people... it doesn't have to be the end of the world - if you still like/respect each other at the end then it's grand, and if you don't like/respect each other anymore then be glad you got out.
