Realistically speaking, I'd suggest you do more research if you're gonna use psychology to support your claims. What you portray as "inevitable" isn't even the most common result of such situations.. Also, ppl can go through shit together and still overcome them and have a loving relationship. Or not, it depends on alot of things.
Your partner isn’t your therapist. They can't substitute for a professional.
this just a personal take based from being in relationship with a mentally unstable person. It's quite draining to love someone with unsolved issues, especially when they rely on you to provide comfort, patience, and support. I just feel bad on woowon's character.
Yeah but this is an escapist fantasy where we watch fictional messy people get together. It’s entertainment.
there’s a lot more to seoan than his anxiety and mental issues, woowon fell for him as a person and same for seoan. Seoan had lots of relationships in the past even with his mental state that don’t work out because he felt it was burdensome but woowon he fought relentlessly not bc he woowon is some sort of therapist but because he made him happy and he felt comfortable around him. Hope this helps!
Some reading comprehension would be nice.
Your partner isn't your therapist, but a person doesn't need to be infallible and at their absolute best in order to be in a relationship. Ask your therapist about it. :)
I really appreciate the way you shared your observations and interpretation. Ofc this is fiction and most of it serves entertainment purposes, but since the realistic aspect was brought up.. Ppl tend to think in absolutes and to take themselves out of the equation of a relationship, as if love and being with someone should always be just effortless, otherwise it's a deal-breaker. While that can be a preference , it's definitely not a rule. We all have our relational trauma issues, more or less. Alot of the times they can be worked through while in a relationship, if that's what both partners want(not talking about abusive ones). Preferably with expert guidance (individual and/or couple therapy). It does take some patience and work, but it's well worth it if you want to improve the relationship. Things might not work out in the end, but you tried, have no regrets (not many, at least) and you came out better for it.
I feel it’s a bit hard reading this, it isn’t quite draining to love someone who is mentally unstable, it requires a lot more precision and attention in some certain areas, that is infact true, However in Seo an case he is someone who is conscious of his illness and doesn’t let it consume him, he knows his flaws and does his best to pay attention to solve it, remember he said unlike most people he requires more than food and clothes to survive he requires the little bit of love and peace that only Woo won can give him, and trust me when I say everyone struggling with mental illness has that one person they feel such connections to, that’s what makes it much more easier for them to fight their battles and take up challenge to grow stronger. What is fortunate for him is that Woo won also understands and has never seen him as just a mentally-ill person, they went from pizza and delivery guy, to friends, to acquaintances that can share their problems and take bike rides to clear their heads, to becoming lovers. So people like Seo an who do everything to fight their illness also deserve love, now people who use their illness and a weapon to belittle other’s problems around them that’s a difficult and honestly stressful thing on its own.
realistically speaking, this is not the best way to start a relationship. They're both shared something that can be solved through psychological help. I know seoan is already seeking help but when he already get better, what's gonna happen with his feelings towards woowon?? i hope this won't go to that path but i can say it's inevitable.
