Somehow I think that the only reason battered women (as an example) didn't leave marriages "in the past" is that it wasn't "socially acceptable" to do so. Now that it is, does that make it "selfish"? The only result of the "ME" generation, is that instead of giving 100% to your spouse, people nowadays believe in keeping a little of themselves FOR themselves. Sounds reasonable to me.
