While there are various factors contributing to this trend, content creator Katie Hanlon—who goes by @thekatiehanlon on TikTok—has mentioned some less-discussed yet crucial factors that can often lead to relationship breakdowns.

5 Warning Signs Parents Are Raising Entitled Children

I once lived with a boyfriend who started to financially, psychologically, and emotionally abuse me. To save myself, I moved out. When I tried to tell those closest to me why it had to end, rather than asking about my emotional and mental wellbeing, responses included, “At least he didn’t physically abuse you,” and, “We don’t see that side of him.” Some friends even continued to socialize with him.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
