Inspired by a thread on another board and interested in what other parts of the world think.
Do you think committed relationships are on the decline? Is it a generational thing or across the board? Why?
I think people these days (all generations) are too used to instant gratification and are unwilling to put the leg work into any potential relationships expecting them to be perfect from day dot. I’ve always believed that maintaining a committed relationship takes constant work, compromise, and even sacrifice which people already in relationships seem to be unwilling to make let alone those in a new relationship/ or seeking one.
In addition, I might have been living under a rock for the past few years but I’m blown away by the level of bitterness against men/women in Australia these days. It seems that one bad experience equals a lifetime of hatred. I feel old.
Nb/ I am not talking about relationships with infidelity/DV/other deal breakers
