It’s very common for the older generation to persist in toxic relationships, because a) “till death do us part” and b) anyone who didn’t want a nuclear family was “not normal”. Modern generations are realising they don’t need to live a life they don’t enjoy, which leads to more isolation. I would rather live alone than live in a bad relationship. Not saying this is the sole cause, but it would definitely be a factor.
