Postulate: Most couples aren't happy with their SO. They don't leave because it's more difficult than staying. Discuss, robots.

they must be fucking retards then, why would you do something and not like it and then continue doing it
Yes, and I take great comfort in this fact. They may not be single but they're not happy. Helps me sleep at night.
Counterpoint: Building up a long-time rapport with somebody means that your relationship increases in quality as time goes on. Perhaps you can be temporarily swayed by the temptation of new thrills, but it is merely an illusion. So, in a sense, it is more difficult to stay together, but more rewarding ultimately.
Most kids I knew growing up had divorced parents. Most people I talk to online have divorced parents too.
Seems like most marriages are doomed to what OP says or they end in divorce.
I wouldn't fall for the marriage meme, certainly not before turning 30 at the youngest.
rapport does build over time in a relationship, but that doesnt make me keep talking to family, friends I've know for 5+ years, or significant others. Eventually the relationship sprouts pic related and nothing they provide matters to you
this is me. I want to leave my GF and be a neckbeard but I can't quite afford it yet. Sex and love are overrated. weed, booze and the internet are forever.
Depends on the partner, some of them age like milk.
You get out what you give in. A relationship acts as an amplification function, and when both partners put in effort, the rewards are good. Any tiresome-ness is transient, and is merely the lull-time in between effort and reward. Patience and effort are the inputs, and happiness is the output. More than a fair trade to me. But of course, it must be bilateral and based on trust. This is why it does not apply to family members or friends: they do not give enough and cannot be trusted.
So, a fine vintage cheese? Sounds good to me.
