the point of a relationship is to support eachotherthat's literally itone person who is always on your side and will always be there for you no matter whatwhen one of you is down the other works a little harder knowing it will always be repayedwhy is everyone so fucking retarded about relationships now?did you all learn relationship dynamics from reality tv or something???
>>84966045its all lust i just want someone that will love me the same way im ready to love someone
>>84966045Depends on who you ask. Some people would say (mostly women) that expecting to be supported is codependency and you should just look at them as friend with benefits or committments, like the overflowing chalice analogy or whatever. Some people just want to be entertained, someone to distract them and spend time with. But I guess what I'm saying is there's not one type of relationship, and the expectation is different on both sides.
>>84966045I'm always down and can't be fixed. There's nothing I can do for anyone because I'm so useless. The only thing I can do is listen to you and be there for you, possibly making you feel better and not feel alone.
>>84966045The point of relationships is to fulfill your human needs and nothing more. And if you show any weakness as a man, your gf will get the ick and dump you, so it's not a good idea to share your problems with your partner.
>>84966111fantastic EXPERT advice from a sexless loser who has had one failed "relationship" online with a teenager he met on discord >>84966093people who want anything less than a committed codependent relationship but play pretend they'll totally do it so they can have sex with someone whose values they absolutely do not share and thus reduce all parties involved to casual playthings are LITERALLY SATAN and I will accept zero justification or cope that it is in any way okay
>>84966045very true and this is all I want

>>84966257don't give women the excuse of "oh no they can get the ick" and allow that to dictate your behavior, especially in a relationshipit is NOT okay, acceptable, or normal and normalizing it like "haha all women do it" contributes to the problem without solving itit's not even about being dominant, just asserting your basic fucking needs and what you know you deserve in a relationship. If she can't comfort you when you're crying, she's at best immature/developmentally challenged, maybe some kind of autist, but far more often just a narcissist or even borderline sociopath
>>84966302The probability of a widower committing suicide is like 4 times more than the one of a widow in the same situation. Since men used to kill each other in ancient times, women had to learn to abandon their husbands. It makes biological sense to me to suppose that a woman can lose her feelings for a man way faster than the other way around.
>>84966093>Some people would say (mostly women) that expecting to be supported is codependencyThis is the perspective in vogue at the moment. The only solution is to arrive to your woman a full-fledged being, which means be born rich or just wait until you are 33 or somethng.I will say minority women are a little more flexible with this. Do not get caught slacking with a white woman, though.
my relationships were always about meeting human needs as anon says. even when there was mutual love, you don't have to be a child and pretend it's some fairytale energy nonsense.it's probably more sexual for men and more emotional for women, but those are both factors for both sexes, same way 'money' and 'somewhere to live' are.
