When friend groups become collectively cynical about romantic love

My closest friends and I have been through breakups, marriages, divorces, and we're starting to wonder if romantic love is just a cultural construct we've been chasing. But we also can't figure out if our cynicism is wisdom or just protection against disappointment, and it's affecting how we support each other through relationship decisions.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Shared disillusionment with romantic ideals creates uncertainty about whether critical distance represents growth or defensive withdrawal from vulnerability.
