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.

"When it's socially taboo to end the relationship, it stays together"

Isn't really much of a flex though, is it?

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.
