I made an off-hand remark about people who have been with a long term Significant Other, and now, they are no longer together, and I am not going to lie, it upset me.
I heard from more people in my Private Messages then I have well, perhaps, any other topic.
And I am not going to lie, I broke right down and balled my eyes out some upset me so badly.
To be honest, I am worry about us as a society. I know there are a large number of males ages 18-40 who have just given up on women. Just done.
Most I have spoken to blame the social media, dating, apps, the internet, all the above, some of the above...
And the thing is, it is both males and females who have given up having a long time love in their lives.
A couple of guys told me they would not dare ask a girl at school, at work, at a bar out for a date. They're scared of being called a creep, or worse.
Now, I thought it was bad back in the 1970s, but today....
And the thing is, I do not know what people want. Boys or girls.
I do look back at some of the girls I dated in the 1970s, and how I dodged a bullet.A girl I dated is now on husband number 5.........But it is such a different world. And I know people my age do not understand why their grandchildren are often not married, or even looking, and I've seen a lot of research, watched a lot of YouTube, TikTok posts, and 50+ folks, it is so different. And to make matters worse, the economy is not helping.
And every person who sent me a private message seemed so discouraged. And 80% asked for prayer. And I don't blame them, the way they broke up with their SO, well, it was going to hurt them....
And of course, I put you on the prayer list.
I am getting closer to 70 with each passing day, and I am not kidding when I say this, I am worried about many of you......And you may take this with little solace, but y'all are on my pray list permanently.
Older folks, I am worried......It you might want to be concerned too....
