53 53. As Daniel Bachman and Akrur Barua describe based on US Census Bureau reports: “Between 1960 and 2014, the median age of first marriage rose to 29.3 years for men and 27.0 years for women from 22.8 years and 20.3 years, respectively.1 During this time, the share of single-person households in total households more than doubled to 27.7 percent and the average number of people per household fell to 2.54 from 3.33.” “Between 1999 and 2014, the number of single-person households went up to about 34.2 million from 26.6 million, an average annual rise of 1.7 percent. Growth in total households during the same period was lower (1.1 percent), leading to a more than 2 percentage point rise in the share of single-person households in total households.” “The projections show that single-person households are set to reach about 41.4 million by 2030, an average annual rise of 1.1 percent over 2015–2030.” US Census Bureau, “Families and Living Arrangements: Marital Status,” October 21, 2015, https://www.census.gov/hhes/families/data/marital.html; US Census Bureau, “Families and Living Arrangements: Households,” October 21, 2015.

55 55. As Claire Cain Miller shows based on “Survey of Income and Program Participation.” It is important to note that Miller also shows that since the peak in the 1970s and early 1980s, the divorce rate has been declining for people who married since the 1990s.

62 62. Some of the people were interviewed in cafes and were found through snowball procedure. Others were acquaintances who shared with me their experiences. All names have been anonymized. When details about an interviewee were potentially revealing of his or her identity, I deliberately changed them to ensure maximum anonymity (for example if someone occupied a unique professional position, I deliberately changed that position while maintaining a roughly similar educational and economic background). I interviewed a majority of heterosexual men and women but occasionally refer to homosexuals when I thought they reflect quite well processes at work in heterosexual couples as well. The sample included twenty-four divorcees, thirty-four married people, and thirty-four people in casual relationships or without relationships. It included forty-seven women and forty-five men. Because of the sensitive nature of the interviews, I quickly abandoned my recording device and interview protocol and instead used informal conversations to elicit accounts that were written down from memory immediately after my encounters. This method was most definitely less obtrusive and is in line with ethnographic mode of analysis. Occasionally, I wrote down by hand the main points of the conversation while it was happening. These conversations lasted anywhere from thirty minutes to one and a half hours.
