It's kinda cringe to sit on the internet and quarterback other people's lives. "Yeah, that's not a real relationship so it doesn't count" or "This TV show has X on it therefore it applies to real life" are both super cringy things to say.
My sister had a ton of boyfriends, lots of relationships, some of which lasted several years, and started her own business while doing that and didn't get married until she was 30. Nothing wrong with that. I mean, I definitely think there's things my sister can do to improve herself, but it would have been silly to look at her at 29 and say she wasn't mature enough for a relationship or didn't have her shit together.
People aren't conveyor belts.
recognizing a general trend of people not being "ready" for commitment at an age that generations past were married with several children isn't cringey, it a basic recognition of facts.
in context sexual liberation of women, increased financial independence of women due to joining the workforce, a generation of children raised by parents who got divorced at a rate of 50%, increased debt/earnings ratio for that generation from overburdened student loans, and increased housing prices well beyond inflation indexes explain the behavior.
im not trying to explain it by some liberal conspiracy or straying from the word of god like endless im sure is/would, so shut the fuck up or i'll put you on a conveyor belt headed directly for my open hand slap machine.
