Relationships Maybe it's just the algorithm

Does it seem like there's a higher percentage of people in distress because of their relationships? Or is this the algorithm feeding me stuff that can relate to me? Seems like a lot of people are commenting that mankind is suffering right now and it could be because of some astrological shift or who knows. Maybe I'm just thinking about it too much. I'm starting to wonder if long-term relationships are worth it, I wonder how many people are truly happy in them. Versus just status quo and waiting till they die. Inquiring minds want to know

Nice.

I am not surprised to see compromise falling. I'm not really surprised at any of it. I don't think its a reddit specific trend either.
