Happy cake day!
Which country are you talking about because it varies a lot per country. My aunt is a true boomer: conceived on the day her country got liberated from Germany, born in ‘46. And she had access to modern birth control, she had some boyfriends before my uncle. They got the time to get to know each other properly. She and him are still together and you can see they are crazy about each other. My grandparents too (her parents), they were also a very happy cute couple, so none of them ever were unhappy about marriage. And this sounds weird, but my grandparents who were born in early 1900s had birth control and it worked. They were together from when they were only 18 but married at age 26. So they had a long time to get to know each other. My parents, Silent Gen, lived together before they got married. They married before said aunt and uncle.
I think there is a big cultural difference in the cases you mentioned and the ones I’m used to.
There's nothing here!
