Are traditional relationships out of date?

Interesting surveys conducted by both the Sun and the Mirror, using a sample of 3000 randomly selected couples. Those who took part were asked if they were happy in their relationships and the result showed that 60% were not and of those who were ok most were just putting up with the situation they were in.
These findings are of course no surprise to me at all. I have always said that the traditional relationship model has been out of date in the West for many years and that most people were now more liberated and economically independent enough to do their own thing. So it would appear that statistically at least you will be better off having some really close friends and change your relationship every 4 to 5 years in other words it could be like moving house you could buy and sell a house and although the actual process won't ever be easy it will be possible. Which means that the new government can tax that and make some more money plus achieve more regulation. The argument on the other side of the coin is that humans are emotionally needy and they have to be with someone (arguing all the bloody time) to make them feel that they have some stability in their life??
