What Is the 65% Rule of Breakups?

Within *Jigsaw*, Sloss introduces a routine he calls the “65% rule.” According to a transcript of the special, he argues that no two people are perfectly compatible; a relationship requires about 65% natural fit, with the remaining 35% requiring compromise. The metaphor: each person is a unique jigsaw puzzle, and forcing your puzzle into someone else’s template destroys the picture. Sloss contends that if a relationship requires more than 35% compromise, it may be toxic or unsustainable. He openly states that the special is not meant to break up happy couples but to help people leave unhealthy relationships (Metro).
