Boy, your take is so much sadder and world weary than mine.
I used to read romance novels from the thirties and forties where the guy was lucky if he even got a kiss. In one (at least) and girl runs away from home with her younger siblings two months before she turned eighteen because her relatives were going to farm them out and she wanted to keep the family together now that they were orphans.
