Well, for starters, many people have decided that loving someone for no other reason than to love is simply not worth sticking through a toxic relationship where you're miserable. Further, there are now an abundance of choices. You don't have to stay in your toxic relationship. You can actually go find someone that makes you happy and makes love something that just happens, instead of a chore you have to force yourself to do every day.
We're also in a very stressed out society, caused by constant political turmoil, 20 years of non-stop war, and the worst economy in history. Financial stress is at an all-time high, leading to record-breaking rates of depression. These conditions make relationships difficult to maintain, greatly attributing to high divorce rates.
I think we weren't conditioned to handle duress/stress like the past. In the face of "tough", there's options to escape and other drugs to replace.
times past... people needed each other, lived in fear. a family is how you survived. Get up at 4:30am to feed the animals or make donuts, or work 17 hours in the sewing or welding shop. It was hard, survival.
we are going back there by way of inflation... people will need each other again.
Everyone just wants the soft and fun parts in a relationship. If it becomes too 'tough', people are miserable and want to leave or/and don't want to work through those tough times.
Damn, you are right about that. Nobody wants to put in the work to find a partner and if they do get one, as soon as things go a little sideways they head for the hills. by the way tomorrow is my 26th wedding anniversary. It was not a walk in the park sometimes but I am glad I got married.
People are just simply less valuable today. Our whole society is influencing people to destroy their own value as much as possible. Think: if you owned a Ferrari and it needed $10,000 worth of work, you would gladly get it fixed. If you own a old ass beat up car and it needed only $800 of repair you will trash it for scrap price. This is exactly why people are skipping out on relationships the second there is a problem.
Short answer: You can’t post the tough times on Instagram. Long answer: It’s not popular to stay with someone when you’re miserable and people do pressure their friends to leave their relationship when things get challenging. But, also, people assume that they’re with the wrong person when things get rough so they assume the one person they’re meant to be with will always make them happy 100% of the time.
Most people don't even know what they did wrong. They just disappear with no explanation at all. Instead of fixing something that the partnet didn't like they just bail and move onto someone else. Same thing goes for when things get hard. If you lose your job etc.
I think it's because people today are looking for an easy win. They think "Why do I have to be with this person going through tough time when I can easily find someone that isn't." Internet and all other popular media ruined that. You are no longer trapped in your part of the world.
Good times make soft people. Soft people make hard times. Hard times make tough people. Tough people make good times. It's a constant cycle. We are unfortunately at the annoying part of good times making soft people.
i blame the MSM And the Feminist Movement, along with Hollywood How they depict the husband in a marriage? Plus, you need to have -Communication -Trust -Respect In a reltionship
