Relationship Advice: the 50% rule

If you’re unhappy 51% of the time, even though you’re attached, its time to move on. not naming names.. just sayin…

Separate people on on Facebook and Twitter both asked “what about 49%?”. The answer is that anything below a 50/50 split is up to you. It’s like a Sleep Number preference – make it too hard or soft if thats what you want, but after 50% its not a matter of opinion anymore.

I cap it at 20% because at least a 5-10% cut comes along with any human interaction since there are the needs and desires of another person you have to respect that you otherwise wouldn’t if you just lived as a hermit, but if it goes over twice that then im out.

any relationship – even with friends – should be a net gain to your life. its up to the individual how much negativity they’re willing to put up with up to 50%. past 50 it becomes objective that its time to go.
