Thanks you for saying that. I feel so much better after having this convo ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
Wow, everyone in this thread is very supportive.
This is almost the worst couple to focus on but I guess we can say they highlight the worst parts of what we see in relationships of men vs women in society even today. And other examples are usually unrealistic, sugar, fluffy scenarios. The best relationships we can usually find are friendships or even second lead syndrome contestants. If we leave the romance genre all together, it seems to get better or at least good enough to ignore the relationship flaws since the supposed end-game couple isn't focusing on that at the moment.
On a personal note, I have not found anyone either. My parents aren't worried because there are plenty of examples already in my family tree of men and women who just never did the whole dating/family thing. I've also been pushing it into their head the last five or so years that worst case scenario, I just buy sp*rm and see what happens. I want kids and adoption is so much more expensive than buying a few tubes (and to an extent, IVF.) I won't say no to dating or the opportunities to deepen relationships further than just friends but I am growing closer to the point of not wanting to wait around for someone I can live with in a caring and supportive way.
Keep yourself open and strive for friendships, if nothing else. And stay safe out there.
I literally don't have any sexual desire. And it's quite difficult finding a man that doesn't think with his dick or horny all the time. And I just can't trust such men at all neither am I gonna bother trying. I don't know even though Sex is healthy for a relationship I would like to have one where sex is the last thing both of us want. Maybe this is why I'm still single. Maybe it's for the best and men these days I just can't simply trust and reading Shoujos makes this Trauma even worse
