    Question to the experts here

    I mention experts on here specifically because thru their advice and activity here they must have a pretty good idea on the est. % of relationships (long term, marriages, living together) that end up separated for good or divorced even after making an effort of working things out during a first separation and getting back together for a second try...

    There are two dilemmas... that rattle the human skull. How do you hold onto someone who won't stay? And how do you get rid of someone who won't go?

    I don't know about statistics, but I always consider separation (meaning phsyically separating) is the first step towards divorce.

    How about you tell us the problems that caused the breakup so we can better assess the situation.

    You'll be able to get much more out of that than a statistical analysis.

    If you're going to break up, be a man about it. Don't beat around the bush, just be honest. Making up excuses and throwing out statistics is a sure fire way for the past to bite you in the ass.

    This is not about me, mostly it was a curious question about relationships in general...and I am not here just for research, I came first joined up over a year ago for advice, and to vent..over that relationship.

    Just google it, like everything else. The source of all knowledge.

    If that fails, then Google 'find chuck norris'. Click 'I'm feeling lucky'.

    The answer is 42
    Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
    Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
    Towards the sun, carry your name
    In warm hands you are given
    Ask the wind for the way
    Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
    Accept all as it is and do not blame
    God or the Devil

    "breaks" and "seperation" is the first step to break ups permanently.

    if you want to fix, or work on your relationship you do so IN said relationship.

    So yes, I agree with Vasti.
