I think the issue of "too much choice" in online dating has seeped out into the real world, making people believe the world is full of infinite choice, so why get married? Why settle? Why TRY? When the world beckons.
- Cthulhu_ 10y agoThat's another thing, everyone has the freedom to move and live wherever they want, to work where they want under their conditions (hours, pay, etc. Interestingly enough, working conditions aren't up for debate as much), etc. The other part is that there's very, very few relationships that end up in "for life"; my parents' generation is still the ones that believe in marriage for life, they manage their problems like adults. But there's no social reason to stay together anymore, at least if both parties are financially independent - on that note, I know a few people that stay together not because they want to, but for practical and financial reasons. as in, the woman / mother can't move because she couldn't afford it. Kinda sad really.
