Reminds me of the quite annoying story that was making rounds last year about how we supposedly only fall in love with three people in our lifetimes. It's impossible for me to follow that sort of thinking, you should then just break up with the first two loves of your life and settle for the third. And people play fast and loose with love already as it is; broke up? Don't worry, it wasn't "real love".

For the majority of people it gives an excuse not to treat the relationship they're currently in seriously, as the next one is their destined one (And yes I know, conversely many people stay in a relationship far beyond its best before date). What I am getting it as more like the study seems to be asking people to define "disaster date" and "heartbreak" more so than count them, and perhaps the myth of the third love contributes to most people being on their "third real love". But the answer is always different when you ask retrospectively.

yeah then they get Paranoid and carry that baggage for years and never have another relationship ever , women over 45 for sure

Men are always lovable? Not in my little corner of Paradise where there are many break-ups...and then D-I-V-O-R-C-E . I don't believe in odds anyway in 100% of my life I have never been hit by lightening


Now,less than 100%

Whoever made that lie up needs to be context specific so it's more believable.

I'm calling my ex's right now to tell them the good news! 😁

I'm below average so 🤷

That study sounds more legitimate than the kind that says something like - Studies show that smoking may lead to lung cancer and possibily other things......:)

I wonder what the male side of the statistic would be?

I wonder if there's way to get all the bad ones over and done with in like a week or so?

I think the human lives have too many variables for a couple few to be even considered good enough a sample for study.

Need to work upon my dreams, according to the study! 🤔

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me since I thought that was impossible.

I must not be average because I experienced more than that. 😏

Is there a men's version of it?

That's a bit sad if it's true.

I guess I'm not average.

There are a lot of frogs

Then I am over due

studies are overrated

Lol....I could say that my first date with my hubs was a disaster
