People choose to ‘put up’ with partners rather than ditch them

Breaking up is hard to do — when it comes to love and practical matters.

Ditching a relationship that’s just not working can be hard. Research from Permanent TSB reveals that Irish men and women (45%) would rather delay breaking up with their partner compared with those who bite the bullet as quickly as possible (33%).

Women under the age of 35 are least likely to kick their partner to the kerb when things aren’t working out (53%), compared with men over the age of 35, who are the most proactive when it comes to ending a relationship.
