Redditor u/BigCuppaCoff33recentlyaskedthe people of Reddit, “What are you proud of that millennials have actually ‘ended’ or ‘ruined?'” Honestly, it’s good that we left so many of these things behind, and maybe with hindsight, you’ll agree, too:
1.“The ‘I hate my wife/husband’ genre of jokes.”

2.“Hating your spouse. I’m so happy that more people are waiting to get married because they want to be sure their partner is the right one for them. It’s not enough to just love your partner, you have to like spending time with them, too.”
