Summary: 

There's been some talk lately about whether or not gay relationships
can or do last as long as straight relationships.  A year or two ago
I remember reading an article on this in Psychology Today.  (Please
note: PT is not my idea of a scientific journal.)  Their data stated
that the average heterosexual relationship lasted 7 to 10 years.  The
average lesbian relationship lasted longer; the average gay male
relationship lasted less.  They concluded that women are the cohesive
force in relationships.
