Satisfaction Baseline
Satisfaction Baseline refers to a person’s typical or reference level of contentment in a relationship, against which changes or fluctuations are experienced.
What This Really Means
Satisfaction Baseline describes an internal benchmark rather than momentary happiness or dissatisfaction.
It is closely connected to Emotional Needs and Desire Fluctuation, as ongoing fulfillment shapes how changes are perceived.
Within a relationship assessment platform, satisfaction baseline is inferred from long-term patterns rather than isolated events.
The concept helps explain compatibility dynamics by distinguishing temporary dips from underlying relational satisfaction.
Examples

A relationship report shows stable satisfaction despite periodic conflict
Satisfaction returns to a familiar level after emotional repairs
