Well, I saw this on "Why Did I Get Married?"
I just finished it. Pretty good movie, btw. :D

Anyway, to quote,
"The rule says that in marriage you will only get 80% of your needs met. An outsider may offer you the other 20%. If you take the 20% you may risk losing out on the 80% that you were getting and then you’re left with less than you had before. "

Do you agree of disagree?

I think this is more to be meant for relationships in general rather than just marriages,
because even in relationships people cheat on impulse or want to break up because they want something new.

love can only give you so much. especially a relationship with one person...

it also brings up that strange line.. "what if the one you loved wasn't enough?"

_
yeah, i agree.

_ a person must resist all temptations.. as a trial of love, and proof of it. perhaps even bettering one's self.
the odd argument is the invisible rules people made up for societies _
even though, the hurt from cheating is universally real. and so is a rule of the human heart.

In an attempt for a bump xDD;

Well, um, I guess I should answer the question myself.

I haven't been in a real complete relationship where I felt like I could spend the rest of my life with my partner..
I seem to fall out of lust/infatuation/love, if you will, really fast,
but I mean, I've had moments where I felt like I belong with them and the whole world is just so perfect.
And those days are when I feel like 80% is given, if not more.
So I mean, I'm sure if I had better relationships, I might be able to up my opinion more. ._.;;

I feel it`s true.

80% comes from the intimacy, the passion, the life lessons with a significant other. Something nobody else could provide you.
20% comes from the unconditional love from your family, happiness with your friends.

I'd just like to say I like that quote. ♥

[Left_King]

I disagree...

1st. Relationships should not be seen so Objectively
2nd. Everyone has different perceptions
3rd. Whats the point in goin into a relationship that u think will only get u '80%'?

:S

And "Ur needs" can hv ldz a meanings...
Ppl may interpret it as Love, Sexual urges/desires, Happiness, etc...

i think that when people get idk 60- 70 or 80% of what they think they need in a relationship , they decide to stay together instead of trying to find someone that can give them 100%.

altough i know finding someone that can give you 100% is like finding a 100 doller bill on the street , its not very common but it is possible.

people mistake this puppy love stage with real love and because of the urge to be in love they convince themselves that they are in true love ,
but later on find out that oy! heres someone cuter or funnier or sexier.
adn woosh they find that they made a mistake....

but to answer your question , yeah i agree. if you have something and want something else you might loose what you already had.
its actually basic for everything in life if you think about it.

theres only so much you can hold in your hand, if you open your hand to grab something new you might drop what you already had...

^yeah i agree i think it's different for each case
i think 100% is possible, i also think 0% is possible XD
