I've got similar stories. Our generation is fucked man, I honestly doubt I'll ever find happiness in a serious relationship again. My mother and my friends mothers had flaws like all humans but have nothing on the girls we date today.
Emerald is a little mining/industrial town in central Queensland, it's about two hours drive from the town I live in and the general consensus is most girls who are from Emerald are not known for their class. Classic Emerald girls, she did a good job of proving the point haha.
