Well I liked the older storylines where couples would get to know each other over time by working together or something. The whole getting in everyone’s business is just lazy writing.
In the older stories, people use to go to a confidente and tell them what was going on. There were also people who "knew" the real story and would tel others so it did get around, but did it more secretively then today.
However, in today’s society, I feel that many people overshare what is going on in their private lives, so I guess it is a sign of times!
A very valid point. Social media and reality tv has made everyone seem to feel like putting it all out there is the thing to do. Today’s younger generation does not seem interested in the less is more concept.
