- hgomersall 2y agoOr perhaps after working hard enough to keep the rent paid and the power on they have little energy left to pursue the important stuff.
- nozzlegear 2y agoRelationships have always been work, and people have always worked hard. So what's changed?
- Muromec 2y agoSame thing as with teen girls mental health. Everything is not enough, everything is a red flag, every partner is toxic, every parent is a narcissist. All men are rapists, all immigrants are stealing jobs AND leeching on welfare. Echo chambers everywhere to divide and conquer. And the worst part -- we chatting here and being smart are the ones who built it all to pay our own bills.
- salawat 2y agoSome. Not everyone here did. Some of us watched from the sidelines and tried to tell people they shouldn't do that. But ya can only do so much.
- Muromec 2y agoPeople were always lazy. What changed is being okay with being single compared to dealing with the least effort the other part puts into it (you yourself always put enough effort of course). Call it unrealistic expectations and blame social media or empowerment and celebrate it or whatever. In the end somebody finds a way to feed on the resulting discontent and everybody is worse off as a result.
