Does anyone else feel like they have wattpad/webtoon tropes unfolding around them?

Like… my mom, dad, and me’s love lives have all been common tropes

My mom and her current boyfriend are childhood friends, my dad is dating his secretary, so like “my boss is my lover” type shit- and I dated someone as a bet then actually needed up dating him for real . Is this normal?

    Tropes exist for a reason. They're modeled after real life. I won't speak on the secretary thing cause I don't want to insult your dad to your face but childhood friends is common as well.

    Now dating someone on a bet is something I'd never heard of irl before tho lol. Hope it wasn't malicious tho

    Babygirl you are not getting enemies to lovers in modern day society cause that would require a LOT of questionable ethics either from your love interest or you the CLOSEST thing ppl can get to is rivalry maybe.

    No actually I’m curious pls insult my dad :3 (the boy I dated as a bet was the one who asked me. He had a bet with his friends, so it was a bit different)

    AKSLDNSORNSK WHY WOULD U WANT SOME RANDO TO INSULT YOUR DAD?!?!


    Also pls tell me the bet thing wasn't the typical thing where the "popular" guys would act interested in an "unpopular" girl to see if she would date them to embarrass herself? Why are men such a bag of dick's? This happened to my best friend too. Pls tell me I'm just projecting :(

    No no he’s a nice guy. The bet was something along the lines of “whoever can get a girlfriend first and keep her for at least a month wins” so he wanted to beat his friend and asked me if I’d be okay pretending to be his girlfriend lol. We ended up falling in love and actually dating for a few months

    Ohh ok then here I go. It wasn't anything grand, I just wanted to say that it's incredibly common in this patriarchal society for men to think they're all that just because they reached a certain economic status and have a pretty younger woman fawning at them in their job.

    I don't know if your dad got with his secretary before or after your parents separated, but even if it was after, it's still incredibly unprofessional to go after your juniors in the workplace, a woman who works directly under him, on top of that.

    But it happens regularly. That's why it's a trope. In more international companies nowadays it is shameful though, and might lead to getting them demoted/reassigned.

    I seee.. it’s a small company actually lol. He didn’t know her until a few years after my parents divorced her, and she’s actually older than my dad and has like a 22yr old kid while I’m my dads oldest at 16 ( ̄∇ ̄") but yea I also found it a bit weird
