But your condition does not explain the entire world.

Americans are brainwashed and indoctrinated from the word go that they can have anything they want, if only they work hard, are positive, and believe. Their thoughts will manifest into reality. This is complete bs.

When they meet reality - the reality nobody taught them about - they get angry, depressed, etc. This is an American reality - not an international reality.

Until a hundred years ago, people did not get married for love. That idea started becoming more common as a result of the romanticism. Yes, some people have the capability to be compatible with each other for a lifetime, or maybe they are just realistic, and they accept that marriage isn't about making your partner feel good. It's a survival agreement.

Marriages break down all the time. My late father married three times - none of them worked. My late mother married twice - none of them worked. My sister married once. The marriage worked. But she also worked at it constantly and sacrificed a lot. I had one marriage. I didn't try another.

Prior to modern times, men and women were obliged to be with each other, no matter how unhappy they were. However, there weren't any expectations either. They each got on with the job of survival, and that was it.

You're not a failure because your marriages didn't work out.
