The Perceived Stigma of Never Being Married
Many older individuals who have never been married often feel stigmatized and face societal biases and assumptions regarding their commitment and personal priorities. This stigma is not applied equally to those who are divorced, have children, or have married multiple times. However, it is essential to understand that stigmas are cultural and change over time, and the rising number of adults who have never been married should be seen as a social trend rather than a personal failing.
