DO YOU KNOW THAT: One In Seven Adults Is In A Long-Term Relationship With Someone Who Isn’t The Love Of Their Life…

Love

This is why I am still single…I have had enough with relationships where happiness must be forced to manifest. I know the moment I meet the love of my life, he wouldn’t have to even try, love will bring its own happiness…

If indeed 1 in 7 adults is in a long term relationship with someone who isn’t the love of their life, this definitely explains why most relationships are problems.

According to MailOnline;

Do you class your current partner as the love of your life? One in seven of us don’t.

New research found of those, 73 per cent have ‘made do’ with their partner because their ‘true love’ slipped through their fingers.

And shockingly a quarter of all adults have been in love with two people at the same time.

The study also revealed 17 per cent of the 2,000 adults polled said they have met the love of their life since they got together with their long-term partner.

And a brazen 46 per cent said they would be prepared to leave their spouse or partner to be with their true love.

Men are seemingly more loyal to their partners than women, with 37 per cent saying they would stay in the relationship for their partner’s sake.

The poll also found the average person has fallen head over heels in love just twice in their life and has been left heartbroken once.

But an unfortunate one in twenty adults has been heartbroken more than five times in their life.

For 60 per cent of those questioned it took just 10 weeks to know that someone is Mr or Mrs Right the poll found.

A spokesperson for Siemens, who carried out the survey, said: ‘The survey highlighted some colourful revelations about people’s love lives.

‘The results showed it can be hard to find “the one” and although the general perception is that women tend to fall in love more often than men, it was intriguing to see that in reality both men and women fall in love on average two times in their life.

‘What is alarming is that so many people claim to be in long term relationships or even married to someone who isn’t the true love of their life.

‘And if there are people out there who are genuinely in love with two people at the same time, they must face a huge dilemma.

‘Interestingly, more than half of those polled thought they have been in love on occasions but looking back don’t believe it was the “real thing”.’

The survey also found that the typical adult fell in love for the first time at the tender age of 19 and dated four to five people before they met ‘the one’.

The study also showed that for nearly 75 per cent of the adults polled, the definition of love changes as they got older.

The spkesperson added: ‘Although many of the adults polled said they weren’t with their true love, the majority claimed to be in head over heels with their current partner which is really encouraging.’
