Is this a new phenomenon? - 05/24/12 05:59 AM
I recently attended a funeral of a fellow I worked with for 25 years. I am getting to that stage where we used to meet a weddings now we meed at funerals.
At the reception I was surprised to hear how many relationships had split up or were in trouble. It seems in the 50 - 65 age bracket that so many women are leaving the relationships they were in. What has shifted in our society.
What happened that promises and vows no longer mean anything?
Is it my imagination that it is more often the women who are calling it quits now?
I was brought up in an era when "til death do us part" meant something. I have learned in the last 3 years that seems to be an outdated concept. Sad commentary on a nation that is touted to be a world leader.
