I agree with you and disagree that you're with the wrong crowd!
It's not about being with the wrong crowd. I've seen MANY relationships fall apart after a few years, and many people my age (tail end of gen X, if I'd been born 2.5 months later I'd be gen Y) are divorced.....the magic number of years for marriage seems to be 7! Anyway, the common theme is "I just don't love him/her anymore because he/she doesn't make me feel the same". OMG I want to smack these people because it's the epitome of selfishness! Yes, people are getting into relationships JUST to have their own needs met and think that feeling will last forever. (Delusional thinking.) I somehow doubt they ever got to the true love stage (beyond being in love which I personally believe is just deep infatuation as people seem to fall in love with virtual strangers.)
The guys I've dated aren't "the wrong crowd". They aren't into partying, doing drugs, whatever. BUT, they are selfish in love and relationships. One guy said the thing he loved most about me was how I made him feel. Well no shyte Sherlock, I'm a very giving person in relationships and I make my partners needs a priority. Sadly the same isn't done for me. I know I could never pull off being selfish myself so I am just avoiding relationships for now. I can't risk finding out 10 years from now that the person I am with is only in it for themselves.
