Most relationship end badly because people hang on for too long. Rather than moving on when it's time, many couples try to re-capture what was great about the relationship when it is just not meant to be.

Might I recommend: the bell-shaped curve theory of dating.
This theory believes that the best part of dating is capturing the ride up. This is when you are getting to know someone, flirting, finding commonalities, and feeling as if you two are fated to be together. At times, that stage is very short [record screeching to a halt]. Other times, that stage is nice and long, and this is probably how most people transition into bf/gf and SO and even marriage.

For most dating experiences, what goes up comes down at some point. At first, it's something small: the way he chews with his mouth open. Then, it grows, like when he lies to you. Again, record screeching to a halt.
Time to move on.

Of course, a lot of it is timing. What guy No. 5 did that is so annoying now seems so charming on guy No. 10. And that's all fate. Still, it's good to have a theory, and mine is the bell-shaped theory of dating. And I am sticking to it.
