    What Is The 80-20 Rule In Relationships?

    The Rule:


    In our relationships, our partner is most likely only able to offer 80% of what we need. There are times when we will find someone who fills in the wholes, offering the other 20%…and because it’s been missing for so long, you think you’ve finally found what you truly need. But be carefully taking risks of cheating, or leaving your 80%…because what you will be left with, is that 20%. Obviously this is no where near as fulfilling as being with someone who offers 80%

    You have to ask yourself if the list of things missing longer than the list of what's there, time to move on. But if you list of what's there is longer than the few things missing...try to talk to your man or woman and make it work! But if it's still a lot cause and the thing that's missing is unfixable, might be time to leave this one.


    Don't ruin a good thing if you got it, and if you don't got it...move on!

    Never heard of the 80-20 rule, but I bet it's do 80% for your spouse and only expect 20% back and you will be happy.

    Isn't  the rule back in the late 1940s up to early 1960s the men rule  in the relationship 80 - to 20  and now i hope its 50 to 50 on both.

    IamPamela313

    No. Read my comment. lol!

    I understand the 80/20 rule....My wife is tempermental.....80% temper and 20% mental...just my wee joke..I really would say we are at 100%

    Ya know, its funny. The first girl I ever had a crush on and "fooled around" with was 16 and I was 17. She was so sweet and sexy and I knew when I got older I wanted to marry a girl with those "dimensions". I came to realise when I got older that she was YOUNG and ONLY 16 and that MOST ADULT women don't come in that size. Broke my heart. :(

    Thank God...time heals all wounds. :-)
