People are single nowadays because they were raised in a culture of narcissism. Marraige requires responsibility and sacrifice.....two concepts that are anathema to modern culture.

Not only that, but, marriage and being parents of children requires responsibility and sacrifice. I'd go as far as to say that even some married folks capable of being good parents choose not to have kids because they don't want to raise kids in a narcissistic culture...I can't say I blame them.

Your statement is very true. I speak from personal experience. I was committed to a 25 year marriage only to learn that my husbum was not. (PUN intended.)
He couldn't be bothered with things like loyalty and fidelity. He had an affair while I was dealing with our only son's life threatening injuries and nine surgeries.

He is not the first man to hide from a crisis by having an affair and he certainly will not be the last. In this day and age any woman who choses to stay married to a cheater must have a death wish. Cheating can be life threatening with the diseases that are out there and divorce is the only viable alternative under these circumstances.

What's interesting about this topic is how many people seem to think narcissism is limited to those who are single. Back when I was single I had more than one married man hit on me. Of course, I told them where to shove it but it was evidence to me that being married does not necessarily mean a person has any morals or values whatsoever. Funny thing is one of the men actually practiced psychiatry for a living - imagine how many folks he messed up. I should have called his wife to tell her what her dear old husband was up to. Sad. Thank GOD, I found a man with morals who respects his family. I can't imagine being married to a loser like that guy. His poor wife and children.
