A thought-provoking TikTok video has sparked a conversation about why many women are opting for single life over relationships that don’t meet their expectations. The video, posted by user @hey.raela, highlights the reasons behind this trend.
Raela begins by asking a series of questions, including why the divorce rate is so high and why many women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s are choosing to remain single. She then provides a simple yet profound answer: women are no longer accepting the bare minimum in relationships.
Raela emphasizes that women want a partner who will equally participate in the relationship, sharing responsibilities and contributing to the household. She notes that many men expect their partners to handle all the domestic chores, childcare, and financial responsibilities while they relax and pursue their hobbies.
The video resonated with many viewers, who appreciated Raela’s candid and relatable message. Although the comments were turned off, the video racked up over 1 million views on TikTok.
Raela’s argument is echoed by a US divorce lawyer, Dennis R. Vetrano, Jr, who recently shared a similar perspective on TikTok. Vetrano noted that many marriages fail due to the lack of equal participation and responsibility-sharing between partners. He emphasized that women are tired of shouldering all the burdens and are seeking more balanced and fulfilling relationships.
