50% of women in relationships have a backup partner
As per a survey, 50 percent of women in a relationship have a plan for a back-up partner in their mind in case the current relationship doesn't work out and they head for a break-up.
Around 1,000 women from the UK participated in the survey and almost 50 per cent of the participants, both married as well as unmarried women, admitted to having a back-up plan or person to fall back on in case, they separated from the current partner. A substantial number of participants stated that their back-up person is most likely to be an old friend who had romantic feelings for the concerned woman in the past.
Other participants of the survey also stated that their back-up person can be anyone-a colleague, ex-husband, school friend or a man she met at the gym. What is important is that the person has to be someone whom she has known for a long time and who would be 'ready and waiting' to be with her when the need arises.
