Well the forever-together times have long passed away and nowadays relationships barely last a few months. One of the many reasons is again social media and the new dating culture which involves quick rounds and swiping pictures left and right as if its a quiz show which then affects the duration of a relationship for which it lasts.
According to a new study in UK it has been discovered that there is no perfect fairy tale romance anymore because the average relationships are much shorter than ever before because the new average is two years and nine months. None of the couples involved had children and half of them were either married or living together before they broke up. Now the drastic difference here is when you compare this study by the 208 poll according to which the average back then was 15 years.
This is a huge leap and it won’t be unfair to say that this is a direct result of social media taking a toll on our social life and making us antisocial to the extent where we are no more capable of making a commitment and being in a relationship. The first study was organised by VoucherCodesPro.co.uk where as the second one was carried out by The Observer. Both the studies reveal .interesting fact about how much our lives have changed because of extreme use of the social media
