Hmm... I guess my general optimism tends to make me think differently.... :)

I'm still quite optimistic when it comes to relationships.... But I'm not really an expert....

However, I have a feeling that perhaps people in general may not be as committed to their relationships nowadays as they used to be in the past, when people -- both women and men -- took "till death do us part" more literally.... Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my feeling....

Cheers,

Dien
