True.... that's why now you need to be financially stable to be able to take care of your partner either in marriage or committed relationship, trying to bring children in the equation with the stable life is killing your self especially now in the world.
Same,i want some to take care of me and love me but the situation now is unlucky card for me,maybe i will be lucky in my 30.
I totally agree with you.
Yeah. When I was a young child, there were still some local communal spaces where people regularly gathered. Like dance scenes frequented by whole families, or workshop spaces where people were productive together. They were safe spaces for young people to date, since they were multi-generational and everyones adults were still around and quietly keeping their eye on things. At least where I am, those spaces started to disappear at some point.
Boomers gave us this poison pill called "no fault divorce" For some awful reason that lead to family courts where people don't have their constitutional rights. Before that, making a vow "til death do us part" meant that. So the only way to get a divorce was infidelity. After listening to many tales of how people were ruined by their spouses from messy breaking of families it makes it seem too risky. No one can hurt you like someone you thought loved you.
If you can go somewhere on the internet, you'll find them.
^ this. It's selfish to not get married. But that's okay. It's perfectly fine to be selfish as long as it's not harming anyone else. And by not getting married, you're actively not hurting someone. If you don't want to be married but you get married anyway, it's only going to cause pain.
My wife and I had a courthouse ceremony. Literally us standing in front of receptionist. She was our witness, I was our officiator (it's legal in my state for one of the people getting married to be their own officiator).
You might not like the idea of getting married, but that doesn't mean 'most' millennials/GenZers aren't getting married, or at least significantly fewer than in the past. US marriage rates are down from just under 2.5 million in 1990 to around 1.9 million in 2022 (source: Statistica) with median marriage age being around 28 for women, 30 for men--ie, Gen Z--and second marriages might be dragging that age number up a bit. So, marriage is a little down but hardly out. Maybe it's not a generational thing, and just a 'you' thing.
What. Explain?
They actually don't, the drop in birthrates a strangely global thing. Look at Norway for example. They have a good economy, lots of social security services, paid parental leave, and economic incentives for new parents. They still have a very low increase in birth rates, at 11.151 births per 1000 people compared to 12.009 births per 1000 people in America, per year.
Yeah, a lot of people do that too. Almost made a pact with my best friend that we would be fake gay for tax benefits if we weren't in relationships by 30.
Well, here in the third world, people are having 2-3 kids on average.
