Right.
If you date/ are in a relationship with an "awful" person, you could bring the best out in them. Thereby reducing the "awfulness" and creating a better world.
On the other hand, they could bring you down to their level, and thus spread more suffering.
Millennials have less sex with other persons, more "selfsex".

And the pandemic isn't helping either.
Married ppl have the most sex. Means, motive and opportunity.
As Galloism has said, women can walk out on children too. Men can force women to abort. Too many people have children in an effort to "save" the relationship.
We should educate every person to be responsible, capable, caring and confident. By caring I want to stress that self care is most important. You need to love yourself before you can love someone else. To know you are worthy of love is the best basis of a relationship, imo.
