    No one has to “get married by 23 and if they ever get divorced they’re massive failures” anymore.

      Depends on the part of the world you live in. I’m that age and coworkers (!) constantly joke about having to find me a wife and find it a bit odd that I’m not even in a long-time relationship yet.

      I had this colleague a few years back who was 28-29 at the time, and people were bad-mouthing him because he wasn’t married, saying that something must be wrong with him. Societal pressure is very strong here.

      You wouldn’t believe this is happening in the EU, right?
