Your opinion is noted. I disagree. A person who doesn't grow sufficiently to handle life responsibilities seems more likely to end up with depression, social anxiety, etc.
Of course, sometimes a mental illness precludes one from being able to sufficiently handle life’s responsibilities....

In those rare instances, whatever. In most cases, a relationship could be pursued, but with the availability of porn people are getting lazy.
Do you really think that people, when given the chance, would give up actual sex for porn and masturbation? Because that’s what this reads as. It’s quite a thesis.
Quote:Quote:Bad relationships and divorce have nothing to do with mental growth. Sometimes shit happens.
You've got to be fucking kidding me. Yes, sometimes shit happens, but if one or more of the partners lack mental growth, the likelihood of failure goes up. You've never looked at a couple and thought that one or both of them were too immature for the relationship to last? Do you think people just roll D20s and everything is random?
Of course I have. What I’m saying is that bad relationships and divorce aren’t always just because of immaturity. Sometimes there are fundamental issues that only manifest over time.
Ultimately, your counter examples still suck.
