Ya know on the 1st my parents celebrated 66 years together. My sister and her Hubby had 25, brother and sister-in-law have 32 on the 7th, and my other sister and her Hubby have been together for 42. My ex and I would have had 18 this October, but she passed 5 years ago. Finding a new partner in this day is very disheartening because people are too quick to throw it away and find someone else. Disposable indeed. Not for me....

I'm sorry you have experienced this. I wasn't quite thinking of intimate relationships... but you make good points. My friend and I have both been treated as disposable by our sons and other relatives ...as well as other friends. She has been disposed of by very shallow and self-centered friends and siblings that only seek her out when they want something.....just like buying electronics these days, it's cheaper to toss someone to the side for a replacement rather than invest in the friendship, relationship or person. Siblings and relatives treat us as disposable because we tell them how it is but their chosen friends sugar coat things and enable them. People and friendships are rarely invested in these days.
