Are good relationships more of a fantasy as you get older?

Seems like when you're young and dumb, love and relationships are great. Expectations are low, and every new day is an adventure.

Fast-forward into you middle age times, divorces are common, people are burnt and jaded. People are getting married for all the wrong reasons, if just not to be single.

Then as you age, everyone is cautious. No one moves real fast. Seems like most people have baggage they don't even understand.

A person longs for the good ole days, but fears tomorrow. Kind of like each succeeding birthday after 50, 60 and 70.

i’ll admit I haven’t lived as long and don’t know anything about your life experience, but at the point I am at now it seems to me that the earlier you make good choices the better. Very few people make good choices, so as a society we end up dealing with the fallout of lots of bad choices multiplied exponentially over the decades. Scientific notation would be required but would still struggle to enumerate the phenomenon on paper.
