Yeah, today’s ideology of marriage has significantly shifted. It’s difficult out here to live nowadays. The reality of many average Americans is the expensive cost of living and their inability to maintain steady income and a level of stability. Then you have the psychological aspect of two people trying to understand each other while constantly evolving as individuals.
I’m in that age bracket where I am seeing more marriages end than beginning. People married 20+ years are getting divorced. Also, the people I know that has many kids (more than three) aren’t very happy people with their life or marriage. But that’s only the people I know and doesn’t constitute as some type of truth.
I have a great marriage and we’ve have built income and a solid life together. But if we don’t work out for whatever reason, I’m never getting into a serious relationship again.
Society has made it challenging to give a fuck about a person long term. The tolerance isn’t there and life expectancy has increased as well giving more time to play.
