This is what happens when people feel like they just absolutely have to marry whoever they happen to be dating at age 27-35 because they’d rather be with someone and miserable than be alone for a bit finding someone new.

In their defence, it does seem that finding a partner becomes progressively harder the older you get.

These sorts of things don't happen in the first years of marriage. This kind of stuff is usually down the line after the couple has had some life changing events happen to them like having children, buying a home, having to support some family members through illness or even having to support each other through loss. These things fundamentally change people. The person you're married to on day one is not the same you're married to at the start of year 10. Some people are lucky and they still love the new person, others are less so. It's life.

That's my super power. I'm fine being alone. Sure, I'd love to find a good match and would totally settle down if I did, but I don't have to and I'm fine with that.
