Survivorship bias. Most fail quickly, the only ones that make it are the super dedicated couples.


All kinds of relationships fail quickly.


I was looking at a variety of discussions on age-gapped relationships and have noticed the same, people blame the relationship failing on the age gap and the younger persons own admissions about how they look at it differently, instead of the general distribution of all relationships failing

People basically get what they want tk hear out of it, instead of checking whether the same standard yields different results elsewhere
