    I’m very fortunate to have been incredibly happily married for 21 years. But I read about what it’s like now trying to find people, and observe just what people are like in general, and if my marriage were to end for whatever reason I don’t think I’d even bother trying, to be honest. It sounds like a total shitshow.

      I’m a bit younger, but I feel similarly. My partner and I have been fortunate enough to have 12 amazing years together so far, but even if we had problems in the future I think we’d feel extremely motivated to work through them rather than being single again. I’ve talked to my friends who are also in long-term relationships about this and they feel the same.
