Time is the only way wait and see

There is no sure-fire way to know how long any couple will remain a couple. That is up to the two individuals. Each person in a relationship has to decide how adaptable, how compromising they want to be.
There is no such thing as a perfect couple or a "marriage made in heaven". Marriages and relationships are made right here on earth and require constant adapting, communication, and a clear understanding as to why you two are in the relationship. When it becames more of a drain than a gain to remain in a relationship, then most secure individuals will end it and move on.
Co-dependency and insecurity result in many couples trudging on, with mixed results. It is not wrong to remain in a relationship that you do not like if there are more advantages than disadvantages for all involved.
In order to get a better answer, you probably should have asked, what are the most common signs that a couple's relationship is failing, going south, or headed for splitsville?
When the two individuals start putting distance, physically and emotionally, between them the relationship is headed down a slippery slope. When huge arguments become more and more common it is a sign that if something does not change, the individuals are readying themselves for separation and possibly a split.
This is going to sound snide, sarcastic, or a bit rude; but when one party wonders how can you tell if this is going to work out, then it is time to worry. You must have some doubts, and doubts can turn into loss of trust or common ground. If from the moment you start a relationship you worry about splitting up, then you have some self-esteem, trust, and security issues you need to deal with before getting involved. A relationship will not work without some level of trust and a true desire for it to "work". Trust in yourself as well as your partner. It is hard to trust anyone if you feel you are always being "let down", abandonned, or used. You need to acknowledge these types of feelings and figure out if it is because of the people you involve yourself with or because your trust levels are minimal at best. Once you think about it, usually you can do something about it ... like talk to a social worker type friend or family member. Build up to trusting others.
Good luck in all of your relationships. Most the times if both people in a relationship want to stay togethr they make sure they do. In my experience, the sudden realization that you are in a bad relationship, is generally a change in perspective that can be turned around if you take the time to exam your reasonning. It takes effort, but it is about that simple.

read Blink...it says..
Gladwell spends the first chapter of his book talking about an experiment in which couples are watched closely and specialists break down every bit of their interaction to determine if they really get along. The participants are hooked up to many monitors that judge their heart rate, how much they sweat and even how much they wiggle around in their seat. Then the participants (who have been in a romantic relationship for quite a while) are asked to talk about something that has been bothering them lately. The topic shouldn't be trivial neither a deep problem that would cause an argument. The subjects are video taped and watched very closely. Every second of the video is broken down into audio tones. Each tone has a meaning. The scientists conducting this experiment came to very significant conclusions. The tone of someone's voice can tell a lot about what they're truly thinking. They developed a set of rules that breaks down exactly what each millisecond of tone means in a relationship. These experts can determine, at a very high percentage, whether a marriage will last past a few years. This is an emergent idea because of the theme of simple rules leading to complex conclusions. A relationship is one of the most complex human interactions that one could imagine. To have a person put a couple in a room and tell them if their marriage will not last in about 5 minutes is incredible, but that's emergence.

Hi Tonya
I don't really understand what you are talking about,,, but i am taken a guess that you are talking about your boyfriend. Well you can't tell how long, it depends on how long you have been together and how the both of you get along. Don't worry about it to much just enjoy what you have now and just go with the flow girl

Take the total number of minutes you have sex over a month span. Lets say it's 1000 minutes..divide that number by 25 take that number and subtract 2 from it. Theres your answer. If your answer comes back negative then prepare for a break up because it's coming!!

it depends
once the physical aspect of the relationship (making out ALL the time, etc.) if you & your boyfriend still have things in common and can make a connection about anything, you'll be together for a while.

Ask your best friend. She can see the little things you can't, like his flaws and the way you interact with him. Best friends are always right, and so is your mom!
