Relationships are not what it used be like the 1800's. The new relationship - It's not really new its been around the beginning of time - it just evolved much bigger than what it used to be in the 1800's, I call the new relationship 3C's.
Cheating and commitment has a different name now but its still the same. If you are seeking a marriage till death then do the following. As a human being you have to learn how to detect what type of person is sitting across from you within the 6 dates. Know how to smoothly ask " what are your goals in 10 or 20 years? or where do you see yourself?." If the response is not about relationship - for example I want to be with someone I love and has good values- then Run For The Mountains. Be able to read them if they are honest, test them by making them pay their own share on the date. IF you see attitude then RFTM. There are other test you can try.
Below is a bell curve. One of the best things I was taught in college, I always use it to apply to people psychology plus more. I won't bother explaining it but I learned something new over the weekend from my neighbour lady who is 80. People who are over 40 years old whether single parent, divorce parent don't want to get married, They are in the C to F of the curve. If you find one in the G & H and low income they will commit to marriage or live together till death.

What makes me laugh is that people will change clothes, furniture and cars easily and let go of them but when it come to relationships it's hard to let go. Heck I even think of one from ages ago once in a while.
Remember the following “She’s not yours, it’s just your turn”.
I been told Dating Apps it's just a new form of sex pleasure convenience and temporary Band aid healing. If you meet anyone that gets married from an app they are at the end of H section of the curve. Exception to the rule.
Here is a quote I like from Reddit..
Women nowadays have more power, more education, more opportunities and society makes them out to be super heroes. I'm not saying that women having these freedoms is a bad thing. But it's definitely causing a big rift in the dating scene.
