I hate you. I hate everything. So Reddit has been around for a while. I don't know when it started, but it certainly was around in 2010. And this is a big research piece they did on Reddit responses to a particular question. People that are in unhappy marriages. There's lots and lots of Reddit threads around this sort of stuff. Anyway, they filtered out relationship advice from 1.2 million comments over the years since 2010 to 2025. So, over 15 years, 1.2 million comments. When you describe being in a bad relationship, my marriage isn't going well, whatever the reason is.

4:05Back in the day, and by back in the day, I mean 2010. I don't mean like 1930 or 1980. Yeah, wow. It's not the amount of change. It's the pace that's making people insane. Yeah, it is. Yeah. I want to make sure I get the number completely right. God, the fact that 2010 was 15 years ago. Welcome to aging. Well, and worth, well, yeah, that too. But the idea that in a lot of these things, it's worth drawing a comparison between now and 2010. Yeah. Yeah. Why would it be? That didn't exist. Yeah. If you compared, you know, obviously, 1870 to 1860 in terms of marriage trends, there wouldn't be a lot of difference. Well, if you compare them in terms of number of civil wars going on, there'd be a difference. No. So, as recently as 2010, so it's only 15 years ago, overall, the advice of end of the relationship was about a third,

5:09less than a third, 30% of the respondents would say end the relationship. When you got on there with you, my marriage is not happy. Here's what's going on. It's now over 50%. It's gone up to 20%. Just since 2010, people would say just end your marriage then. Well, that's got to be because fewer and fewer people are in relationships. So they have no idea what they're talking about. Is that what the explanation is according to what you're looking at? Well, all the other numbers decline a lot. So, give space and time to your spouse who you're having a problem with has gone from 25% of respondents down to barely double digits. You should give your spouse some time in space to try to fix this. It all went down. Communicate about this. Went from a quarter down to barely double digits.

6:10Just, you know, the simple idea of talk to them about it. That's crazy. It is. I mean, that's stupid. It's toxic. It's inexcusable. It's an indictment of everything that will follow. So, communicate and give space dropped a lot. Set boundaries went up some, which is also a bit of a negative. I mean, it can be positive, but it's got a little bit of a negative flare to it more than talk to them or give them some space. Set some strong boundaries with me. You're no longer allowed to do this to fix your relationship. That's another way of cutting it off. But that's all to me to me. Sometimes it's necessary, but yeah. Compromise went down by about half. Oh, of course it did. The only one that went up much and it went up a lot from 30% to over 50% is in the relationship.

7:13Divorce. That is crazy. And then that's something. What does that mean about society? I mean, people aren't willing to work it out anymore. Clearly. Yeah, but Michael, I enjoyed judging as much as anybody. I ought to be on the Supreme Court. I'm so judgmental. But if you not only haven't had serious relationships and you just live an online life, and you're like kind of the second generation of that fewer and fewer relations. So you haven't seen role models of good relationships in front of you. How the F would you have any idea what advice to give? And so what you're seeing here is a bunch of cynical, I live my life online types, saying very onliney things. I would love to know. I don't know how much marriage, the number of people getting married has changed in 15 years. I know it's declining, but I don't know. But I think it's pretty solid that the number of people getting in relationships at all

8:15has declined quite a bit. So if you've never been in a relationship and you secretly want to be in one, I don't care what you say about how happy you are alone. You want to be in a relationship. You just do. That's the way you're built. But so of course you're happier that other people aren't in relationships. Whether you acknowledge it or it's all subconscious, you hate somebody else being in a happy relationship. Yeah. And this also sounds like it might be coming from people who had one bad relationship and have just said, FM all kind of thing. I was just going to bring up the person who's had a couple relationships and have given up or they say, you know, there's no woman worth. I won't put down. The sacrifice is blah, blah, blah.

I won't put too fine a point on this to keep myself out of trouble. But if your spouse starts hanging around with divorced people, it is who are single. It's much worse for you than if your spouse hangs around with people who are making it work. Going through the grind of being married and raising kids and doing the whole thing. As opposed to hanging around with somebody who's divorced and talking about all the fun they can have. Why do you put up with that? Because they love to cook. If divorce is a contagion, i've seen it over and over again at various workplaces and stuff like that. Friend groups. It is absolutely a contagion. And somebody else gives the permission structure and then starts, you know, with the carrot of, look how great this and fun this life is out here compared to your drudgery. But if you hang around with other people who are, like I said, doing the deal,

13:19it's less likely to happen. And so you got all these people on here reading these things. They're in the, no, no, no, no. You should join us in our happiness using my finger goes because they're not that happy out here in single world. Yeah, misery loves company. Yep. Exactly. You know, I just want to present it. As a friend, as a student rather of language, I have like shelves of books of quotations. Is there one, I mean, because misery loves company, Drunks want everybody to drink more. Stoneers want everybody to take another hit or smoke if they don't smoke pot. You know, is maybe birds of a feather flock together. I'm trying to think, is there a great quotation that communicates what we're talking about. Everybody feels better if more people are doing what they're doing. They feel justified in themselves if you get divorced too. I know, because I have seen it 100%. I've had friends who I've watched this happen not only with my own life,

14:21but they enjoy when their friend gets divorced too. Somehow it, I don't know, makes them feel better. I don't know why. And you have kind of a kinship going on. Yes. And on the flip side, I've actually been in the situation where I've had a friend get irritated with me when I got married and my life started getting better. Sure. I've seen that also. Yes. Absolutely. Is that versus to a friend? Absolutely. When you're younger, I remember like, you know, you got the friend group. All of us dudes were hanging out. We're watching a football game on Saturday, drinking beer. And then somebody gets a steady girlfriend and they're not part of that anymore. You secretly want the steady girlfriend like they have. Right. But you're kind of angry that they do. And you'd love it if they broke up and they come back to hang out with you drinking beer watching football. Wasting your life on a Sunday afternoon. That's just the way we're built, I guess. But the fact that it's moved that much in 15 years is the thing. Oh my God, that's right. I'd kind of spaced off that it was 15 years.

15:21Yeah. So now, oh my God. It's just since 2010 that it's gone from 30% to over 50% of divorcing. That's so crazy. So dump them is now almost five to one over communicate. Or give them space. That's, that's okay. So that's just you're in a cesspool. You're asking just stupid ignorant evil people for advice. Well, that's kind of what Reddit is. It should be their sub-addit. Yeah. Some head for Reddit right now. Asking stupid people for their advice. Yeah. Stupid evil people. Yeah. Trolls giving advice. Weird. In a spot turned to ignorant trolls. Misery loves company. Maybe it's as simple as that. It would be. Or, but it's more than misery though. It's, it's... Every drunk wants everybody else to have one more drink too.

16:21Because it gives you cover. And there. I don't have a problem. Everybody's doing it. Humans. I don't like it. And on that trajectory. Where's that going to be in five, ten more years? Oh boy. That's a scary thought. Is there any reason to think that's going to level off or start? Stop going at that right? Misery. A little childless isolation. It's, it's fine. It's a pretty steep chart. I'll be dating robots. Yep. Don't date robots. I'll be dating robots. That's what's going on. I ain't dating no damn robot. I don't know what they look like. There's one more woman on earth that I'm going to find her. Oh my god. Oh my god. They're looking real now. What can I dress to? Dress. Dress. Dress. Dress. Dress them. I'm going to mock you like it's a schoolyard. However you want. Jack, that's the beauty of dating robots. It's, it's, I actually feel the opposite of it.

17:21I feel like as a single man out in the world, there's more opportunities for me as some of you weirdos go that direction. And, uh, and isolate more. As a single man. I had a sex bot. I'd have it look just like my wife. Oh, that should be on a car. That should actually be it. You got to write that into. Yeah. Send that to hallmark. It's complete bull. But it's, uh, no, it's a nice sentiment. Wow. Hahaha. Fall ready got one of those. Maybe I want a tall redhead. That doesn't make me a monster. No, I'm going to ask Reddit. Well, I guess that's it.
