Let's check in on the Millennials:

The original report come from the UK's Telegraph, and it is a doozy. From the woman in question:

I have been in a relationship for just over 10 years with a guy I had hoped to marry.

He called it off a few months ago. I am moving from heartbroken and incapable of functioning to trying to work out how to put my life back together.

...

My ex and I were not married but we do own a flat together in which we lived and had been very much a couple for the past eight years. We met and were dating for a couple of years before this. We decided to buy a flat together when we both managed to land good jobs and could raise a mortgage between the two of us to get on the property ladder.

This is the typical arrangement for millions and millions of people these days. Sitcoms like Friends told us that moving in together was the next step after dating, and dating now implies sex.

He tells me he feels, at 38, as though he still has a decade of enjoying his lifestyle and powering through with his career and is not ready for marriage and children, but he knows it has become a priority for me - so he is off!

Here I am at 34, eggs twitching, ready for the marriage and parenthood stage of life but unexpectedly single and emotionally devastated. I am tipping into the furious phase of the grief cycle because I feel as though he owes me big time and I want him to pay.

Wait, you're telling me that men and women have biological, emotional, and sexual differences?

We had agreed between us that he would maintain a high-profile career trajectory and I would support this because when I wanted to be the primary carer when we had children. It meant that he could earn well to support our planned family. It was not an accident that we set up home where his work opportunities could be best served.

...

Now I feel like these compromises have left me vulnerable and I am seeking compensation. However, it seems that because we are unmarried and these plans have not been formalised, I have no redress.

To make matters worse:

Needless to say, he does not agree that he has any obligation to help with the financial burden of extending my childbearing capabilities even though he has always known how important it is to me to have children. He even cited the fact that he knows time is running out as the reason he ended the relationship.

Guy pulled a Leonardo DiCaprio!

I feel like he stole my childbearing years. Surely he should have some responsibility for helping me mitigate the damage to our plans caused by his change of heart and broken promises?

There's a saying: Every few years, "progressives" will rediscover traditional morality and act like they just invented the lightbulb.

Having some kind of formal contract that protects two people who wish to procreate? Having some type of agreement, maybe with witnesses, to ensure that a woman is provided for during the vulnerability of pregnancy and birth? Making sure that the man's sexual access is restricted until after he has signed this contract, and guaranteeing that both partners' resources will be shared under law?

WHAT AN IDEA!

Let British commentator Lois Miller talk about this strange new concept:
