A team from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz found that there's a secret 'point of no return' for couples that comes months or even years before the actual breakup occurs.
* Scientists identify a "point of no return" in failing relationships, occurring 7-28 months before breakup.
* Relationships progress through a gradual decline in satisfaction and a "transition point" beyond which breakup is inevitable.
* One partner typically reaches the transition point before the other.
* A study focused on "time-to-separation" to determine satisfaction until a breakup.
* Researchers found a predictable pattern in failing relationships.
* A couple can predict two phases of a failing relationship where the partner’s satisfaction slowly declines and the transition point where they are doomed for a breakup within 7-28 months.
* Doomed couples hit the “transition point” about two years before officially calling it quits.
