You are generalising. And I think one of the problems we have today with the younger generation, is that they don't have an understanding or know the difference between love and lust. And in part, I don't think they have been shown or taught the importance of commitment.

Different people want different things.

I was with my first boyfriend for over 6 years and all of my friends were in long-term relationships as well.

If you want a long-term relationship, behave accordingly and surround yourself with people with similar interests and values. handshake

I have a challenge for you.
I would like you to interview 10 happily married people that have been married for 50 years.

you will find that two elements exist. commitment first and love second.even if you don't agree with me on the order you will see that those two things exist in marriages that last.and you will see that something made it worth their while to stay married instead of get divorced.

Not all 20-30 year olds are afraid of commitment. Hell lots of people are. Each person develops differently and wants certain things during different stages of life. If you would have asked me if I'd be happily married to the love of my life by 23 years old when I was 20 I would have told you hell no that I didn't want to get married until I was at least 25. Back then I had no interest in getting married or even being committed to one person. Now though I'm 23 and happily married to the most amazing man I could ever imagine. Time changes, and we change with that time. I know people in there 30's and 40's that have never been married and never want to be. Each person is different. Enjoy the ride YOU are on, eventually everything works out. hug

I was with a woman for almost 2 years, when we broke up, I didn't anyone. It's been over 3 and half years, and I still haven't found a woman to date and eventually settle down with.

I think the main reason is to have fun. Were not promised what tomorrow brings. we are young,wild,and free. Besides, some people feel as they get older they want to reminisce the good times in their glory days before they decide to settle down with the love of their lives.

yes I think in this day and age people in their 20s and 30s are less secure about what the future may bring and less willing to commit to an uncertain future. I also feel that a lot of people in that age range come from parents who were divorced and want to avoid those same mistakes.

I think they are that way because they don't have to be with one partner. Society as a whole accepts it now. Music and film promote it. Social media and cell phones make it easy to line up the next good time. Due to laws parents hands are tied to do anything to turn them any different as children. Not to mention the divorce rate and amount of single parents bringing home partner after partner for these kids to see. I'm suspect it two reasons for the most part. The first id their parents taught them by example and the second is no one explained to them that there is a better and safer way to do it.
