The amazing thing about humans is that we keep making the same mistakes.

Almost 20 years later nothing has changed.

There are still users out there.

And people are still taken advantage of.

What has changed however is the way people meet.

Online dating has taken over.

Sadly, this has led to a lot of disappointment.

Many people now deride relationships online .

The talk reduces relationships to transactional and is termed "the sexual market place".

Why Do People Get Divorced?

People often ask why marriages end.

The honest answer?

One of them goes off the other.

It’s not always dramatic. Sometimes it’s slow.

But it usually comes down to this: the feeling fades.

We don’t like to admit that.

We prefer complex explanations“We grew apart,” “Life got in the way,” “We had different goals.”

But really, it’s often just that you stop liking them. At least not the way you used to.
