There is a high percentage of divorce, and there are many broken homes, but before a home is broken it has to first be established, and that still happens.
That being said, S_Parc, I am sure you and Mel will make wonderful parents and the chance of you guys raising an Elliot Rodger-esque son are next to zero. I don't always get you... or your perspective, but that is because I am not an American. You know how to navigate that world now, and I'm sure you will thrive in it one way or another.
On some level Marcos, you're blaming American men for their lack of success with AWs. Yes, it's a bit subtle but that's what you're doing.
What you seem to fail to comprehend is that Mel was born a lesbian. If she were born straight, we would have simply gotten married by graduation and I wouldn't be on this forum. You wouldn't have heard of me in that alternate "Outer Limits" reality. Ask yourself this fundamental question ... why would Mel give up on women, to be with me? Sure, I'm rather egotistical and self-centered (and love to pat myself on the back) calling myself the best thing since sliced bread, but the truth of the matter is that she's both free and happy with me. In contrast, women have failed her. She has zero faith or trust in them. From her perspective, I'm 110% the opposite of women.
Nowadays, we do not go out on double dates with ppl in our age bracket. They're pretty much jealous of us and feel really glum when they discover that we'd known each other, for over a decade and half. These dysfunctional (or soon-to-be) couples cannot stand being around happy ppl. All it does is accentuate their lameness. Today, we spend time with couples, a decade or more, older than us. Those folks have already worked out their issues, ages ago.
And then, if we were to have let's say a son, I would be forced to tell him that he may never find a woman, as great as his mother. Yes, that's the sad truth. I recall a female friend of mine, who had the best American parents of all time. Her parents met back in the 60s and lived a near perfect life. I'd run into them once and they seemed happy and natural to me. Well, my friend ended up divorced with an abusive ex-husband. She was always disappointed with the fact that the ideal life that her parents had, was never going to be hers.
So basically, I'd won the lottery but unlike you, I'm not badgering others, for not having gotten those 6 digits correct. I realize that I'm in a one in a million situation, esp for America, and I leave it at that. My only hope is that ppl either find what they need stateside on their own (modified MGTOW) or if they're lucky, able to travel and find a decent partner in Latin America, eastern Europe, or Asia-Pacific.
Many years ago, the Best Picture of 1999, "American Beauty", telegraphed the message of Happier Abroad to the world.
Beware of long term engagements with AWs, you may find yourself in a coffin.

BTW, despite settling down with an AW, myself, the warning is still in effect.
