But some relationships are unhealthy though. And it can take a long time to see that if you are holding on and trying to make it work. Also, if you're including people who aren't married and broke up after 5 years, I see break ups like that amoung my straight friends too. I wonder if someone is studying this so we can see past the anecdotal experiences?
