Here's a stat that'll make jealous people go nuts - Almost two-thirds of people who are in a relationship right now have someone ELSE in mind who's waiting in the wings, just in case things go south.
62% of people in long-term relationships say they've got someone on the "back burner" in case their current situation doesn't pan out. And there's a very good chance that person is an EX.
Half of people who admit they have a back-up say the person they have in mind is someone they used to date.
Almost two-thirds of people in general have stayed in contact with an ex during the pandemic. So keeping someone on the back burner isn't just something people in relationships do. A lot of us have someone in mind.
54% of women and 44% of men say they've slept with an ex before. And one in seven specifically did it because they wanted to get back together with them.
