1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I think we've got an attitude problem. It's one more thing.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm strong and getty. One more thing. Shut up. I

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: hate you, I hate everything.

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: So Reddit has been around for a while. I don't

5
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: know when it started, but it certainly was around in

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: twenty ten. And this is a big a research piece

7
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: they did on Reddit responses to a particular question, people

8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: that are in unhappy marriages.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: There's lots and lots of Reddit threads around this sort

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: of stuff.

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Anyway, they filtered out relationship advice from one point two

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: million comments over the years since twenty ten to twenty

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: twenty five, So over fifteen years, one point two million comments.

14
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: When you describe being in a bad relationship, you know,

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: my marriage isn't going why? What? Well? Whatever?

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: The reason is back in the day.

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: And by back in the day, I mean twenty ten,

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't mean like nineteen thirty, in nineteen eighty.

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. Wow, it's not the amount of change, it's the

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: pace that's making people insane.

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah it is. Yeah, I want to make sure I

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 1: get the number completely right.

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: God, the fact that twenty ten was fifteen years ago.

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 2: Welcome to aging well and worth well. Yeah that too.

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 2: But the idea that in a lot of these things.

26
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: It's worth drawing a comparison between now and twenty ten.

27
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, why would it be that didn't exist. Yeah,

28
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 1: if you compared you know, obviously eighteen seventy to eighteen

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: sixty in terms of marriage trends, there will be a

30
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: lot of difference.

31
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: Well, if you compare them in terms of number of

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: civil wars going on there, it'd be a difference.

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: But no, yeah, and so as recently as twenty ten,

34
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: so it's only fifteen years ago. Overall, the advice of

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: end the relationship was about a third, less than a third.

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: Thirty percent of the respondents would say end the relationship.

37
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: When you got on there with you, my marriage is

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: not happy.

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 2: Here's what's going on.

40
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: It's now over fifty percent. It's gone up twenty percent

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: just since twenty ten. Of people would say just end

42
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: your marriage.

43
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: Then, well that's got to be because fewer and fewer

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: people are in relationships, so they have no idea. What

45
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: they're talking about is that is that what's the explanation

46
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: is according to what you're looking at or well, all.

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: The other numbers decline a lot, So, uh, give space

48
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: and time to your spouse who you're having a problem

49
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: with has gone from twenty five percent of respondents down

50
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: to barely double digits. Say you should give your spouse

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: some time in space to try to fix this. It

52
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: all went down. Communicate about this went from a quarter

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: down to uh, barely double digits, just you know, the

54
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: simple idea of talk to them about it.

55
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 2: That's crazy, it is, I mean, that's stupid, it's toxic,

56
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: it's inexcusable. It's an indictment of everything that will follow.

57
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: Yes, so communicate and give space dropped a lot. Set

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: boundaries went up some, which is also a bit of

59
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: a negative. I mean it, it can be positive, but

60
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: it's got a little bit of a negative flare to it.

61
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: More than talk to them or give them some space,

62
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: set some strong boundaries with me, you're no longer allowed

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: to do this.

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, take a relationship.

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 3: That's another way of cutting you know, cutting it off

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 3: kind of.

67
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's altimate to me. Sometimes it's necessary.

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, h compromise went down about by about half.

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: Oh, of course it did. Yeah.

70
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: The only one that went up much, and it went

71
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: up a lot, from thirty percent to over fifty percent,

72
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: is end the relationship divorce that is crazy.

73
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: And then that's something. What does that mean about society?

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean, if people aren't willing to work it out anymore,

75
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: clearly effort, Michael, I enjoyed judging as much as anybody.

76
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 2: I ought to be on the Supreme Court. I'm so judgment.

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: But if you not only haven't had serious relationships and

78
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 2: you just live an online life, and you're like kind

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: of the second generation of that fewer and fewer relations

80
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: so you haven't seen role models of good relationships in

81
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: front of you, how the f would you have any

82
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: idea what advice to give? And so what you're seeing

83
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: here is a bunch of cynical I live my life

84
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: online types saying very onliney things.

85
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I would love to know. I don't know how much marriage.

86
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: The number of people getting married is chained in fifteen years.

87
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: I know it's declining, but I don't know. But I

88
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: think it's pretty solid that the number of people getting

89
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: into relationships at all has declined quite a bit. So

90
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: if you've never been in a relationship and you secretly

91
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: want to be in one, I don't care what you

92
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: say about how happy you are alone, you want to

93
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: be in a relationship.

94
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: You just do that's the way you're built.

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: But so you of course you're happier that other people

96
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: aren't in relationships. It whether you're whether you acknowledge it,

97
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: or it's all subconscious you hate somebody else being in

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 1: a happy relationship.

99
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds yeah. These And this also sounds like

100
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: it might be coming from people who had one bad

101
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: relationship and have just said f them all kind of.

102
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 2: I was just going to bring up the person who's

103
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: had a couple of relationships and have given up or

104
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: they say, you know, there's no woman worth you know.

105
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 2: I won't put a sacrifices blah blah blah.

106
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: I won't put too fine a point on this to

107
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: keep myself out of trouble. But if your spouse starts

108
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: hanging around with divorced people it is who who are single,

109
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: it's much worse for you than if your spouse hangs

110
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: around with people who are making it work, going through

111
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: the grind of being married and raising kids and doing

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: the whole thing, as opposed to hanging around with somebody

113
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: who's divorced and talking.

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: About all the fun they could happen. Why do you

115
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: put up with that?

116
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: And blah blah blah, Because they love to cut this

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 1: divorce is a contagent. I've seen it over and over

118
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: again at various workplaces and stuff like that. Friend groups.

119
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: It is absolutely a contagion. And somebody else gives the

120
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: permission structure and then starts, you know, with the caretive.

121
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: Look how great this and fun this life is out

122
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: here compared to your drudgery. But if you hang around

123
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: with other people who are, like I said, doing the deal,

124
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: it's less likely to happen. And so you got all

125
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: these people on here reading these things. They're they're in

126
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: the no no, no, no, you should join us in

127
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: our happiness using my finger goes, because they're not that

128
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: happy out here in single world.

129
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, misery loves company.

130
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. You know that's two hundred percent as a friend.

131
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: As a student rather of language, I have like shelves

132
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 2: of books of quotations. Is there one? I mean, because

133
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: misery loves company, Drunks want everybody to drink more, stoners

134
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: want everybody to take another hit or smoke if they

135
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: don't smoke pot, you know, is maybe birds of a

136
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: feather flock together. I'm trying to think, is there a

137
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 2: great quotation that communicates what we're talking about. Everybody feels

138
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: better if more people are doing what they're doing, they

139
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: feel justified in themselves.

140
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: If you get divorced too, Yeah, I know because I've

141
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: seen it one hundred percent. Like I've had friends who

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: I've watched this appen not only with my own life,

143
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: but they enjoy when their friend gets divorced too. Somehow,

144
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: it I don't know, makes them feel better.

145
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: I don't know why. And you have kind of a

146
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: kinship going, I guess.

147
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: And on the flip side, I've actually been in this

148
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: situation where I've had a friend get irritated with me

149
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: when I got married and my life started getting better.

150
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 2: Sure, yeah, I've seen that also, yep. Absolutely, Oh is

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: that persons still a friend? Yeah?

152
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Wow, absolutely. When you're younger, I remember, like you know,

153
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: you got the friend group. All us dudes were hanging

154
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: out or watching a football game on Saturday, drinking beer,

155
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: and then somebody gets a steady girlfriend and they're not

156
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: part of that anymore. You secretly want the steady girlfriend

157
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: like they have, right, but you're kind of angry that

158
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: they do, and you'd love it if they broke up

159
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: and they come back to hang out with you. Drinking beer,

160
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: watching football, wasting your wife on a Sunday afternoon.

161
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: That's just the way we're built, I guess.

162
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: But the fact that it's moved that much in fifteen

163
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: years is the thing.

164
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's right. I'd kind of spaced off

165
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: that it was fifteen years.

166
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, so now, oh my, it's just since twenty ten

167
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: that's gone from thirty percent to over fifty percent of

168
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: divorce them.

169
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: That's so crazy.

170
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 2: So dump them is now almost five to one over

171
00:08:53,280 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: communicate or give them space. That's that's okay, that's just

172
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: you're you're in a cesspool. You're asking just stupid, ignorant,

173
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 2: evil people for advice.

174
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Well that's kind of what redd it is. It should

175
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: be their sub edit, right, asking stupid people for their advice.

176
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, stupid evil people, trolls giving advice.

177
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 2: We are in a spot turned to ignorant trolls. Misery

178
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: loves company. Maybe it's as simple as that could be,

179
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: or but it's it's more than misery though. It's it's

180
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 2: every drunk wants everybody else to have one more drink

181
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 2: to because it gives you cover. I don't have a problem.

182
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: Everybody's doing it. Humans don't I don't like it.

183
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: And on that trajectory, where's that gonna be in five,

184
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: ten more years?

185
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: Oh boy, that's a scary thought.

186
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: Is there any reason I think that's gonna level off

187
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: or start stop going at that rate?

188
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 2: Miserable, childless isolation. That's fine, it's a pretty steep chart.

189
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: All be dating robots, Yep, don't date robots.
