I'm Generation X; I think it's always been this way. Sorry to say, but you just have to find that rare person. The majority are going outside their marriages or looking for something open, even in the older crowds, boomers as well. The genuine love and respect is rarer. Just know that what you are looking for is probably in the five or ten percentile, if you know this at the outset there won't be any surprise when you learn that the majority are liars or at least blunt about wanting to have more options then they probably deserve.

I'm GenX and I know many friends/people who are in long lasting marriages, no cheating. I was in a 25 year marriage. I'm now in a 4 1/2 year relationship, no cheating. A lot of it is where you meet the men and the expectations you put. If you're hanging out at bars and nite clubs and have a low expectation of what you want/will find, then your not looking for the most quality guy. Same with all the stupid dating APPS, the stupid swiping and such. Every loser can join a Free Dating Site, its not that hard. But if you go to dating Sites where you have to pay money and fill out a pretty comprehensive questionnaire like EHarmony and Match.com you get a better "man pool" to draw from.

You can also meet people out and about, check out your City's Webpage and see what Festivals are going on or Wine Tastings, Farmers Markets, etc. Go to some of those and see who's around, you might find some things you like besides the veggies.

It takes work to find the right guy, meeting guys and dating is not for the faint of heart, it takes work.

My job coach said most people are a littile mean. I have been trying to meet people for a long time too. All the good ones are taken.
Cheating is just a cultural idea. Some cultures allow more then one parnter. In ameriar. Many people have more then one lovers. There are clubs, dating websites and parties for these people.
I care about romance relationships. Sex can fight my depression. If I found a true lover I might not need sex, just some touching. Message me. We will talk.

I think it's the Tinder generation, gender fluidity, polyamory...straight up hetero committed relationships aren't the thing anymore. Plus I don't mean to be a man basher here but I'm about too, I think that with things like polyamory being so popular it gives men the ease of sleeping around, plus with dating apps it gives men the idea that women are disposable. Of course women are into this too...but if your female it makes it harder to meet a true and committed man. I am a late Gen X'er (I think it's called a perennial) back in my day (in my 20s, which was late 90s early 2000's everyone was always about being committed. As you get older if you're still single, there are many single people around however they can be jaded...to me it seems very easy to get sex, you don't even need an app...however I don't want just sex. I have been single about 6 months now by choice, getting ready to get myself back out there, I have met a new guy but once again he's been tortured by previous relationships, so I'm wondering how that's gunna go.

You still can meet your guy though. Whatever is going on around you, it is always hard no matter what decade we're in to meet the right genuine person for you. Also remember that many people you see in long term committed relationships can be faking it, don't assume they're all roses and have everything.

I don’t think it matters what generation you are from. There are all kinds of people in the world , always have been and it’s hard to find a good one that also touches your soul in the intimate way only a love can. Good luck. Triple hugs

Yes some people are disappointing. I’ve never understood the cheating thing. Leave or stay but don’t screw around!!! Ugh. Hugs
