I know some girls in my grad school class. (I am 49 and have been married for 26 years). They are 30-40 years or so and many of them are already divorced, or in the process of busting up their marriages already, before they even had kids.
I think and blame SO much of this on birth control and the idea of delaying children also.
Hubby and I married young and the kids started coming young. I just could NOT walk out, even if I wanted to. I was also very involved with them, and it kept me from focusing in on his every fault, and vice versa. People without children just have too much time on their hands ...IMO. Before long they’ve got the spouse under the magnifying glass.
I learned earlier in marriage ...HIS purpose is not to make me happy. I have to do that for myself. Once I got that, marriage became so much easier.
What else is it about girls these days? I am curious.
The ones I see in my grad school class scare the hell out of me ...(and I’m not even considering dating them!) They seem snotty, unfriendly, critical, and driven. I can understand how young men would be totally afraid.
On the other hand, my 25 year old daughter who remains with her college boyfriend of 6 years tells me the young men are hideous nowadays ...all they want is one thing and if you don’t put it out, you can forget it. She chooses to remain with her one bf when I feel she should be dating more. But she seems to know best. I feel for her.
“all they want is one thing and if you don’t put it out, you can forget it.”
Men have always been rutten? bucks in that respect. The USA was a much better place when women controlled sex and men had to marry them for some tail.
When we are young we think there cannot be anything wrong with something as wonderful as a little sex before marriage
IAs we age, wisdom allows us to see behind the curtain so to speak and see the damage that premaritial inflicts upon society. Abortion being the worse but there are many multitudes of attacks.
Too bad the leaders of this once great Country acted like selfish children instead of wise adults the past many decades
