The only reason why our generation is perceived as “so easily to give up” on relationships and marriages is because we’re able to.

Our great great grannies, great grannies, great aunts, grandmas and even our mamas had little to no choice back then. It was basically leave his ass or starve yourself and your babies. So no I don’t find it empowering using our ancestors legacies to justify cheating because I guarantee you that they were rolling their eyes as they passed their husbands illegitimates casually walking in the neighborhood.

An increase in divorce rate is not a sign of the moral decline of society but rather the advancement of women.
