Why this aversion to marriage among the newer generations?

@helenS "...and then we find out not everybody is made for it."
What was also true decades ago.
But no one wanted to look there.

@CharlieZ I could write a book about this. 😕

@helenS Tell me when you decide to publish it.
I´m strongly interested in reading it.

From my personal experience, my Ex wife was pushed for decades to a psicotic state, by dennying to herself and others that she never deeply wished to be married and have kids.
Her libido, all of it, was elsewhere.

I sometimes feel guilty cos I did not become aware of that in her earlier.
She recovered when she felt free to follow her own passions.
Wich were not me and neither our daughters.

So, I have some stories, decades long, about that matter.

And some later experiences, in other relationships, confirmed that, below conciousness, not few people haves some nternal contradictions about.

@CharlieZ In my case it's all my fault. I take the blame on me. I had a wonderful husband. I have never cheated on him. I just learned the hard way that marriage, and leading a normal life, is not for me. Nobody will ever understand that probably.

@helenS I think that, with what I´ve experienced along relationships, I can have an understanding glimpse of what happens to you.
Not at all because I feel the same way. Not me.
But, at some point, I gained some kind of empathy with the women I loved. Even if that understanding implied to let them go.
