TIL: back to the 19th century
“About 60 percent of Americans under age thirty-five live without a spouse or partner. People under thirty-five are more likely to live with a parent than with a partner, an outcome not seen since the nineteenth century.10 It’s not only the young. The middle-aged also live increasingly apart. Almost one-third of middle-aged Americans, aged thirty-five to fifty-four, live without a partner.11 As their lives diverge, as sexual joy recedes, men and women also vote increasingly differently.”
