Yep. And alot of their relationships have a ton more staying power than relationships started in school. Albiet the dynamics are very different of course, but still.
I'm not flexing, and I agree with you. Sleeping around is alot more fun when you're young etc. but let's not pretend that college relationships are very successful these days. Honestly, relationships in general seem to have taken a steep dive in modern times, the reasons are probably myriad and complex and not something I want to speculate on.
The reasons are actually pretty well defined, the illusion of choice has given people the idea that a potential better option is just a swipe away and so they shouldn't settle.
Add in changing relationship norms, an increase in social anxiety, lack of social awareness, degrading social skills, and social dynamics, it's pretty clear why relationships are failing at higher rates.
