In these days of rampant immorality, divorce and "getting bored" in relationships, how do I get what my parents have? Or should it just remain a frustration and lost dream at this point? They've been with each other for 46 going on 47 years together so they must know SOMETHING about love and commitment!..
It seems like my generation (Xennial) doesn't know how to commit!
I'm 39 right now so at this point..
I don't know if I should just give up on it completely or something..
Even my older brother got married at 41 because his wife was a rich, chinese lady luckily for him! And also I feel more women are a bit desprate for a relationship than men are.
Losing hope really by the minute. My ex just broke up with me after a few months.. š and I tried really hard with that one and thought we had a lot in common..

A lot of people donāt seem to understand the sincerity of marriage. Vows arenāt just pretty words you tell each other on your wedding day, they are promises meant to last a lifetime. People get angry or upset about something and say, 'I don't want to be in this,' but that's not what was promised. You promise to be with someone when times get tough, and remain loyal even when emotions run low.
So many people break up over trivial things. Yes, arguments happen. But people need to learn when to shut up in an argument and think about which is more important, your partner or being right. Love involves patience and working things out, learn how to talk with your partner. You have to hear what the other person has to say and try to put yourself in their shoes and try to feel the way the other person is feeling. And learn to develop a sense of humor.
So many people marry and yet live separate lives from their partners. Marry someone you enjoy hanging out with. Make a point of having one-on-one time. Marriage is a partnership and that means doing life together.
True. I was planning to do all that with my ex, but unfortunately, it takes two.
I hope you find someone who is willing and worthy of living life with.
Thank you hon. Those are very sweet words to say to me. ā¤
I hope the same for you by the way, if that is indeed what you want out of life, as well. It's hard out there so good luck too. Finding someone who not only wants a second date with you, but who wants to date you long enough to get married, and stay married for a long time, is tough. I think it's also generational. My parents met and married at 23 and 24 and have been together since. They met at work. I've also seen some high school sweethearts make it work, but I don't know how rare that is. People standards for a partner these days are way too high/skyrocketed.
i would say dont date for the sake of it and be happy single until you find the perfect man. people who date for the sake of it never find the right person.
There's nothing you can do to make that happen. He will or he won't. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Why even bother then? Dating and relationships are so risky. It's depressing. Even people UGLIER than me and meaner (probably) are married with children.
