A new survey asked people what has contributed to their failed relationships . . . and asked them to check all that apply.

A couple as beautiful as Tom and Gisele weren’t built to last

On paper you would think that a beautiful power couple like Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen would be built to last. I mean after all, weren’t they made for each other? Both at the top of their game literally.

What chance do mere mortals like us have if they can’t make it for the long run?

It’s not easy to find your long term partner

In these days of multiple dating apps and bars and breweries on every corner one would think that finding your soulmate would be a lot easier than ever before. We wonder if it is almost too easy to find someone to date because of the easy availability of potential partners.

Too many options?

In these days of multiple dating apps and bars and breweries on every corner one would think that finding your soulmate would be a lot easier than ever before. We wonder if it is almost too easy to find someone to date because of the easy availability of potential partners.

But finding a long lasting relationship may be harder because of these same factors.  It’s just like anything else if it’s too easy to move on then you probably will.

Survey says!

A recent survey asked single people in the dating world why they have recently broke up with someone. The answers were numerous, for this we have narrowed it down to the nine biggest reasons relationships were ended.

9. Being Too Messy - 25%

Nobody likes to live with a messy person, unless you too are messy. If their car is messy, than it's a good bet that their house is too.

8. Being too talkative -31%

You can talk too much as it turns out. That means the person is always talking and never letting the moment breathe, plus, who wants to watch tv with someone who won't be quiet?

TALKING

7. Not liking specific food - 35%

We imagine that this means not just one type of food but more of a sub group of food. If you're a vegan, you probably don't want to date a master griller and vice versa.

6. Poor manners - 38%

If you have poor manners it will eventually be revealed, maybe at a restaurant with how you treat your server. Being rude is a deal breaker for sure.

RUDE

5. Being too obsessed with their pet - 40%

For pet lovers this is hard to imagine, but not everyone loves the fur babies, and if you don't then it might present a problem, let's be honest, you're probably not compatible anyway.

MAN AND DOG

4. No sense of humor - 41%

We would think that if you don't have a sense of humor than you should probably find a kindred spirit and not have to worry about fake laughing or not laughing at all.

BAD DATE

Bad date. Young woman feeling bored during dinner at cafe, unhappy with her boyfriend, disinterested in conversation. Stressed couple having difficulties in relationship, arguing in coffee shop

3. Poor hygiene - 42%

We are not sure why this is not the number one reason that relationships fail, after all how could you get past poor hygiene in the first place?

STINKY

2. Overuse of social media - 42%

This isn't reserved for just millennials or gen x'ers, every age group has people that are obsessed with social media and it would get tiresome seeing someone with their nose buried in their phone at all hours

ON PHONE

Excited male and female hipsters rejoice in winning an internet lottery made bets on website on modern smartphone.Happy couple in love celebrating victory in online competitions enjoying success

1. Clinginess - 43%

We have a 'stage 5 cling on!" Clinginess is the number one reason for failed relationships for good reason, who wants to be clung too all the time? We all need our space and if you're getting it from the person you are dating, you will make the space sooner or later. Don't cling on too tight!
