yeah because people suffered in silence instead of getting out of bad situations. just because there were fewer divorces doesn't mean there were happier marriages.
That's not what I meant. Everyone's saying "not true! My great grandparents/ grandparents got divorced!" And I'm just pointed out that it was statistically speaking. I agree that that doesn't mean it was a good relationship.
Also the rate of divorce among over 60s has like trebled in the last decade. Social stigma is down, many people are retiring younger - ie with more time, and with more money, than in the past, and they find themselves living in the pockets of this person they realise they don't know - or like - as well as they thought.
I believe what some of the older generation is trying to express to the younger ages is that we take love for granted. A lot of the time people throw love away because the believe that there is better love. I think that what many elders are saying is that instead of throwing that love away for something better build on that love and make that relationship better.
What about when you find out you're with a soulsucking monster, that hates everything and everyone and when you wrong them they'll never forgive you? Is it okay then?
