      Why the fuck do people have partners who have so little in common with them to be point they deride their interests? lol That's so dysfunctional. It's almost always straight relationships like that, and usually the same pattern: the guy gaming or doing nerdy stuff and the girl doing social media stuff. I've never seen a non straight relationship fall into the same pattern, it's just baffling.

        It's like the straight millennial equivalent of the boomer "wife bad" meme. I'm halfway convinced that A) the straights are not okay B) people are still letting social pressure push them into unwanted relationships, C) people don't know how to control their dicks and so they wind up in toxic relationships because "she make my peepee hard" and that's all that matters.

          Not just social pressure, but economic pressure these days as well.

        If the people in my town are any indication, its because they keep raw dogging random chicks until one gets pregnant and marries that one.

        Confirmation bias. My relationship is super healthy, I'm free to hang-out with friends as much as a want both in person and over video games. I also have a 12" dick that causes my SO to have an orgasm every time I touch her. Why would I make a post about that? Even if I wanted random internet strangers to upvote my post, I would absolutely change the story.

      The constant barrage of stories like this is part of the reason I have no interest in forging a romantic relationship with anyone. Stories like this make it sound like it fucking sucks and will drag you down. I know they aren't really the norm, but damn they're fuckin' everywhere. Why would I willingly subject myself to that kind of treatment? 'cause he/she/they are hot? Bitch, control your fucking dick/vagina, it's not that hard.

      Edit: to clarify, this post is engaging in some light hyperbole. It's not the only reason I have no interest in a relationship, and I know there are plenty of healthy, loving relationships out there; however, the fact that people keep entering into toxic relationships and then seemingly try to pretend that relationships are just like that is mind-blowing to me.
