Friends' Relationship Problems Irritate Most American Youth

Friendships are supposed to be fun and a lot of give and take but sometimes relationships can become a burden too. When friends' incessantly talks about their problems with partners, you are surely going to dodge them. A latest study says that over 50 percent of the U.S. adults avoid talking to friends or relative who rant about their relationship problems.

The study of 1000 Americans finds that nearly 64 percent young adults, aged between 25 and 34, have less tolerance toward friends who complain about their partners.

The poll asked 18 to  34-year-olds various questions about their relationships. Around 44 percent said that their top three dating issues were deciding when to stay and when to bail on a relationship. Another 35 percent said they generally took time to get over an ex, and 34 percent doubted their partners' faithfulness.

"Friends can be great resources when it comes to dating advice, but at a certain point, they can get tired of hearing about your issues and just tell you what you want to hear rather than give you the advice you really need," said Jennifer Kelman, a life coach with professional services website Pearl.com, who conducted the survey.

Further, the poll found that 44 percent participants said that if the sex was bad in their relationship, they would tell their partner and 39 percent said didn't say anything. Around 28 percent adults said that they would continue being in the relationship hoping sex would get better. Rest 11 percent said they would simply break up with if their partner was not good at sex.

The survey also found that participants generally went to their female friends for advice. Nearly 30 percent admitted that their family gave bad advice to them regarding their relationships.
