Good points Niksik.
From the people around me, I am noticing this attitude of ‘hey I can always leave him/her’ . Sometimes when people go into a relationship with such a mentality, it’s at the back of their mind that they can opt out. All relationships require work, they all have ups and downs. I think there is a growing trend now amongst certain people, I am noticing it esp in my social circle with some friends who are engaged/married who have the attitude that they will not be ‘tolerating anything’ because ‘I’m educated and independent.’
I understand that serious decisions have to be made with certain situations that might arise, but like you said, I think now (some) people think they can just leave each other over minor, insignificant issues.
