Today I woke up again feeling like I need to break up with my girlfriend. I've been losing my patience around her emotional instability and I can't keep the ruse anymore. And she ups the ante! She settles for less and yet she gives me more. I imagine she can sense it too, that the relationship is over and she's about to lose me.

I've never felt closer to shit, not even when my love is not reciprocated. I realized for how long I kept this going, knowing that I was losing feelings. For what? Sex, somebody to talk to, direction when I have none, her unconditional help. I was using her. Don't want to think about that. She wants children. She wants to settle, at some point in the future. I want that too, just not with her.

Anyways, I open Instagram and I get bombarded with advice surrounding individualism. "Open the relationship, know more people", "maybe you're not grown enough yet", "have you considered cheating?" And I started thinking about all these couples; the source of the so-called "blackpill". The ones with the dead beadrooms. The ones that went into terrible, non-traditional dynamics because even with two brains they can't cope with the boredom of real life. Open FetLife and you see dozens of these types. Are they happy? Do they feel satisfied?

Any writings on this? On this weird social malaise that makes us try to cover-up our spiritual romantic disconnection with ruses?

/lit/ is just a thinly veiled blog site, isn't it?

nta and it may be so, but it is an interesting topic.
>Any writings on this? On this weird social malaise that makes us try to cover-up our spiritual romantic disconnection with ruses?
"The Unbearable Lightness of Being" by Kundera comes to mind.

I did not say it is not interesting but the blog post is not needed for OP to write his question and if he took the time to really form a good question he would probably get some of his answers in the process.

And we know how this thread is going to go

Sorry OP, you may be sincere, but I just can't believe anyone that would post that on /lit/ actually wants books. Maybe just a newfag or tourist, and don't know beer, hope you get the books you want, assuming you actually want them.

>just open the relationship
Bad advice. She'll get pummeled with hotdogs and you'll get table scraps. Good luck.

This is one of the best parts of /lit/. I love getting a little window into other anons' lives. Makes me feel like part of a community of sad, fucked up men who spend too much time alone with .pdfs.

Just want to discuss literature and writing. Gone through a good chunk of the catalog and have not found a single post worth responding to and a depressing number of posts stating /lit/ is the last place you can discuss literature and I am fairly certain they are serious.

>>24727042
God you sound like an insufferable faggot. Yeah dude sorry, we should talk "pure" literature and jerk off to schizo meditations on René Guenon for 300 posts

>>24726948
OP you have a gf you won the lottery why do you want to throw that away
>>
just go for it dude

I would be happy with a single post that requires more than 6 brain cells to respond to and has on outside chance of resulting in replies which use more than 2. Hence my digging through the cataloging trying to find a single post worth responding to.

Philosophy posting is just autism and appeals to authority, has been for years.
>dead guy proves my beliefs are right, so there!

I'm so happy you said this because it means I don't have to take anything you say seriously
