Its more common today for people to marry the first person they date; but that's never the way it was in history. Many people dated for years(including monogomous LTRs) to find out what kind of people they work with best & to figure out exactly what they want from life. It's hard to be sad when two people part ways like mature adults as both gained valuable life experiance from the relationship and are now clearer on their own path to their individual goals. Its all good; and the good memories still exist without being overshadowed by drama & hostility. I liken it to when bands breakup because the members are working off of new insperations.. they start a new with their current mindset rather than forcing a radically different sound to the fans.. or worse try to maintain their old style when its no longer who they are. The old times were good, the new times are good. It's not a big deal. If you mean recent history, maybe. Women were forcefully married into families throughout most of history. I have no idea where you're getting the monogomous LTRs from.
