Do you suppose

A deep and healthy sort of love has always been an elusive sort of thing just by its nature or that we’ve become a disposable sort of society that throws the treasure out with the trash because even treasures aren’t worth our patience and effort?

I think it’s always been elusive. Relationships have always been hard work (for most couples), but people are more eager to throw in the towel these days than in previous generations. “For better or for worse” has been replaced by “for better or divorce” for most people in this generation.

@Ambroseguy80 on the one hand, I see that since women don’t have to rely on a man, they no longer have to stay where they’re not happy and men are released from that fate since it’s not the “losing face” situation it once was and I see that as something of a positive. But like everything else, it gets to a point where it feels like we take it too far and let a bump in the road spell catastrophe.
