Is there a divorce culture, is it real?

Yes

No, some people just get married too soon because they fear ending up alone, and often get hitched to the person they’re not compatible with. I don’t think divorce culture is a thing. Some people stay together for the sake of their kids (if they have one). Depends on the couple, honestly. I would only marry my partner after dating for at least 3-4 years and living together at least for a year.

Divorce was less common when people dated 2 or 3 weeks so I don't know what you mean

[RandomGuy1032]

I think moving slowly is more of a recipe for a failed relationship. there's far more romance in marrying someone in a week than there is after years.

@wonderbell99 Do you live in the west? It is a huge billion-dollar industry. Divorce lawyers get paid $100s of dollars an hour to ruin people's marriages.

@DEondeBeaumont No, I’m not from the west. Where I’m from, divorce is a huge stigma. I honestly think it’s better to get divorced than to stay in a relationship neither of the parties are happy in. I cannot see myself staying in a miserable marriage, but at the same time, I would not get married to someone I’m not absolutely sure of either.

@randomguy1032 we disagree yet again.. lol, but that’s alright, I respect your opinion even though I don’t agree with it

I don’t see the practicality in marrying someone you’ve known only for 2-3 weeks. That’s not a romance, it’s a fling. Besides, have you heard of the “honeymoon phase”? It lasts at least for 3 months. It’s different for everyone, but personally, I cannot see myself getting married to someone I’ve known only for a few months. I’d like to at least live with them for a year before marrying them.

[RandomGuy1032]

there's only about 10 different kind of people out there if you know which one you want you dont need to date for years

[WonderBell99]

I don’t have a specific type, but I would prefer my partner have the same or similar long term goals, political and religious opinions as me. (I’m not religious and I’m a centrist who is left leaning).

People are way more complex than just the “10 types” that you’ve described..

[WonderBell99]

Besides, it’s not about me not being sure of them, it’s about me dating them for at least 2-3 years so that I could have a preview on how my married life with that guy would be like. Going slow is way better than rushing into something I might regret later.. besides, living together before getting married would be the best decision for me.

There is no divorce culture.


There is however a get married way too soon trend which not surprisingly at all ends in divorce.
