It's me, you conscience
Mindtree culture is detoriating day by day . No clarity on hike and appraisal even though mail have been sent regarding this since Dec 2021 . Disgusting HR head practice who joined from CTS . How come they don't abide by what they communicate and keep silence without any update for delay .
Shameful . Feeling Disappointed. Has joined this company 11 months back with hopes for longer and fruitful association but will resign soon . Pathetic company Mindtree

Have fun raising that kid independently and somehow still finding time to date

My hypothesis is that divorce rates spiked because people were pressured into marrying when they were 19 years old. When divorce became acceptable, all these people that married someone then they were still children realized they didn't have to stick with them forever.
Now that the marriage age is trending upwards and people are more mature and pick a better partner, divorce rates are continuing to drop.
I think marriage is fantastic and I love having a partner that's going to be with me for the long haul. If marriage isn't for you, that's totally fine. Live your life the way that brings you fulfillment.
And I’m some cases, they made the right choice at a young age. My parents celebrated 50 years of marriage this year - married at 18 and 21. They legitimately still deeply love and enjoy each other.
Does it work for every person or every couple, no. But when it does work, it’s incredible.

Just say you’re a player, no need to hide behind some shoddy sociology
Incorrect. Divorce rates have been falling through the decades, and at the lowest since 1970s. 14.9 per 1000 is more floor than roof.
Respect your personal opinion, but data does not back it up. Try again.

The “Each parent could raise a kid independently” comment as its just super easy... hahahahhaha
Tell me you do not have kids without telling me you do not have kids!

You can do whatever you want... but I’m looking forward to being married to my husband for 60 years - having a constant partner, raising kids together, having grandkids together, traveling and sharing all of lives experiences together, helping each other during the hard times. Nothing will bring me more joy.

Nope, divorce rate is not going through the roof (see data).
That being said, if you personally don't feel monogamy is for you, you should be able to not be monogamic - and don't give a F for what people think

Chart is misleading

That's what I tell all the married women I meet. 😎
Humans are socially monogamous, which serves to help raise children. It’s a practice that dates back about 1.9 million years, so it’s about as natural as anything else. That being said, since you’re not an animal you’re not bound by anything- so have fun! Personally, I like having a partner that I can depend on when things get tough- someone to share my wins and losses, and someone to build something long-term with. That’s not for everyone though, and I have several friends that have opted for the solo path.

My friends that are poly respond saying humans are serially monogamous- meaning we are hardwired to get bored over time and seek something new and fresh.
I don't think I agree but it's an interesting thought

I find people don’t divorce easily these days , but are cohabitants, cheating like crazy
That’s because there’s too much hassle :)

Who dumped you and why?

A lot of experts agree monogamy isn’t natural, especially from an evolutionary perspective. It’s a relatively recent societal invention.

You can’t point to a first human, so you can’t say it’s existed since the beginning. And even today there are cultures around the the world that aren’t monogamous.
People change, both you and your spouse; why are we expected to stick it through a multi decade relationship, and bind ourselves with a big contract?
Relax, no one is judging no one lol... obviously monogamy-for-life is mainstream, my opinion would be deemed controversial and judged by majority, if anything
Enthusiast
Humans arent hardwired to live past 50, so we are meant to be monogamous for life until the kids grow up.
With that being said the hardwired point is moot imo because there are a lot of things we arent hardwired for yet we still do, for ex: sitting on a chair staring at your computer screen for 10 hours a day.
We get it, you wanna get laid more. Ok cool.
