Breakups are more common than you think (LTR-HAVERS THREAD)

[BigBallsLarry]

Breakups happen so often nowadays that young people even after years in relationships don't want to get married - while marriage was considered the norm in 1970-80's.

People on this forum act like complete loser retards when they get broken up with, when in reality it happens so often that keeping a relationship in 2026 might aswell be compared to winning the lottery.

I will be using 2 countries (USA - to represent.. USA. And Poland - to respresent Europe) and their statistics to talk about some points.

So, just how many relationships actually fail nowadays?

In the United States alone, there are around 650,000-700,000 divorces yearly. Poland meanwhile consistently sits at around 50,000-65,000 divorces every single year despite having a population over 8 times smaller than the US. This does NOT include normal relationships, situationships, failed engagements, teenage relationships, online relationships, etc.

In other words:

In Poland, there's 40 divorces per 100 marriages (145,000 marriages and 57,000 divorces)
In the USA, there's 35–50 divorces per 100 marriages

And the worst of all, as said in the beggining, there's barely people that want to get married in the first place, so those numbers are exceptionally saddening.

Marriage rates in the US used to be dramatically higher:

1970: 16.4 marriages per 1,000
2022: around 6.2 per 1,000

Poland’s marriage rate has also fallen heavily over the decades:

1990: 6.7 marriages per 1,000
2024: 3.6 marriages per 1,000

Over 36% of unmarried young adults experienced a breakup within less than 2 years of the start of the study. Imagine how much higher the number becomes over 5 years, 10 years, or an entire lifetime.

People have this fantasy in their head that everybody else is living in some stable lifelong love story except them. In reality this couldn't be further from the truth.

Social media is a good reason as to why people think like this.

You see countless of posts about people being in happy relationships, about people engaging, vacation photos, corny tiktok edits. But you never see people talk about the other 95% of the relationship which is usually bland and boring, or even worse, involves cheating, arguments and crying.. That 95% is what leads people to breakups.

People on these forums especially need to understand this because some of you genuinely act like getting dumped is proof you're some genetically doomed recessed subhuman, when attractive people, rich people, celebrities, athletes and literal models get cheated on or left every single year too. There's even posts talking 'omg how did this CHAD manage to get broken up with THE FUCK?"

The truth is, the modern world completely normalized short-term relationships, and LTR's are an extinct race. You can hear all the stories about how your grandparents were together for 50 years but it WON'T happen to you, because you were born too late.

Now we have dating apps, hookups, social media, lower social pressure and fear of commitment which all leads to one point:

Breakups are statistically and logically the NORM now

Even if you did nothing wrong, you relationship will end, that's part of the life nowadays.

And how does one get into a relationship...?

 

[BigBallsLarry]

imagine being expected to be good looking and have enough money to entertain a WOMAN before 18

then niggas are suprised they can't keep a teenage relationship

no shit all teenage relationships end, the expectations are too high

And how does one get into a relationship...?

That's the neat part, you go through all the trouble to rarely even get into a relationship, not knowing that 90% of them end miserably anyway

 

[pslturi]

good read.

i’m in a relationship rn which i hope will last.

the most i know is that even with the norms and expectations for a relationship in this generation it’s hard to take a person seriously when you have so many stories and situations in ur head

people think too hard on what happens to others.

 

[BigBallsLarry]

Tldr

Dont ltr in america

i asked chatgpt for TLDR for ya

TLDR:

Modern relationships are extremely unstable statistically. Divorce rates remain massive in both the US and Europe, marriage rates collapsed compared to previous generations, and social media creates the illusion that everybody except you is living in a perfect lifelong romance.

In reality, breakups are normal now. Attractive people, rich people and even literal celebrities get dumped constantly. Modern dating culture normalized temporary relationships through dating apps, social media, hookup culture and fear of commitment.

Getting broken up with in 2026 is not some rare event proving you're genetically doomed — it's one of the most common life experiences possible.

Tbh , It is just because of the media , and how the content make people have standards which never existed before
Making the women have high standards / being a slut
or men being slaves for any women just for sexual activities
+ Media inject bad intentions like " If he/she does this , they don't love you/ They cheat on you"
which is so retarded but anyways , people will still believe some random contents on their phones
ending up with mentally retarded society that can never build a strong and loyal family

The best relationships (and the ones that last) are those when both people know what to expect. A natural relationship is BORING and has hardships. You will have weeks without meeting, you will have days where you meet and do nothing but watch movies and this could be a phase that lasts months. This is normal.

But people today expect a relationship to be lovey dovey for years, which is unrealistic and will never happen. A relationship is people loving eachother, not a movie.

These are all real reasons i saw on social media apps posted by women lol

 

[pslturi]

The best relationships (and the ones that last) are those when both people know what to expect.

loving each other and not having to sit there and stress and make arrangements about things that don’t matter is what really makes and breaks a lot of relationships.

you could have someone who wants to do so many activities when the other just wants to do something simple or nothing at all

letting that not kill ur mood and motivation in the relationship is key

i feel like most people nowadays think too hard on what the “right” thing to do is when they just have to go ahead and ask their partner what they really want.

From personal experience , This is so true ,otherwise
I would just broke up, cuz in a real relationship ,you shouldn't expect more than the common.
Something like having a friend but with feelings and sometimes arguing and being mad at each others
But the main point is , you both loyal to each others whatever happens

But people today expect a relationship to be lovey dovey for years, which is unrealistic and will never happen. A relationship is people loving eachother, not a movie.

This is what i mean by the media making people have high standards for no logical reason

1970: 16.4 marriages per 1,000
2022: around 6.2 per 1,000

Poland’s marriage rate has also fallen heavily over the decades:

1990: 6.7 marriages per 1,000
2024: 3.6 marriages per 1,000

Over 36% of unmarried young adults experienced a breakup within less than 2 years of the start of the study. Imagine how much higher the number becomes over 5 years, 10 years, or an entire lifetime.

People have this fantasy in their head that everybody else is living in some stable lifelong love story except them. In reality this couldn't be further from the truth.

Social media is a good reason as to why people think like this.

You see countless of posts about people being in happy relationships, about people engaging, vacation photos, corny tiktok edits. But you never see people talk about the other 95% of the relationship which is usually bland and boring, or even worse, involves cheating, arguments and crying.. That 95% is what leads people to breakups.

People on these forums especially need to understand this because some of you genuinely act like getting dumped is proof you're some genetically doomed recessed subhuman, when attractive people, rich people, celebrities, athletes and literal models get cheated on or left every single year too. There's even posts talking 'omg how did this CHAD manage to get broken up with THE FUCK?"

The truth is, the modern world completely normalized short-term relationships, and LTR's are an extinct race. You can hear all the stories about how your grandparents were together for 50 years but it WON'T happen to you, because you were born too late.

Now we have dating apps, hookups, social media, lower social pressure and fear of commitment which all leads to one point:

Breakups are statistically and logically the NORM now

Even if you did nothing wrong, you relationship will end, that's part of the life nowadays.

Breakups happen so often nowadays that young people even after years in relationships don't want to get married - while marriage was considered the norm in 1970-80's.

People on this forum act like complete loser retards when they get broken up with, when in reality it happens so often that keeping a relationship in 2026 might aswell be compared to winning the lottery.

I will be using 2 countries (USA - to represent.. USA. And Poland - to respresent Europe) and their statistics to talk about some points.

So, just how many relationships actually fail nowadays?

In the United States alone, there are around 650,000-700,000 divorces yearly. Poland meanwhile consistently sits at around 50,000-65,000 divorces every single year despite having a population over 8 times smaller than the US. This does NOT include normal relationships, situationships, failed engagements, teenage relationships, online relationships, etc.

In other words:

In Poland, there's 40 divorces per 100 marriages (145,000 marriages and 57,000 divorces)
In the USA, there's 35–50 divorces per 100 marriages

And the worst of all, as said in the beggining, there's barely people that want to get married in the first place, so those numbers are exceptionally saddening.

I want a ltr man :c

The main issue is that modern humans are literally too toxic/biochemically unhealthy at this point, so they are literally incapable of even making sense of what this reality is actually about because they are too inflamed, have nerve damage from all the toxins, etc.

You cannot be happy without being healthy, and if humans were healthy, it would all work out just fine because men would impregnate their women en masse (the whole point of LTRs) without any petty reasons to break up.
