But don't you know? Straight relationships are all about playing psychological games on each other to trick your partner into tolerating you even though you hate each other. This is healthy and normal.
Why straight relationships? I'd assume this happens in every relationship to some degree or another.
It can but I don't know of any comic strips in newspapers where the common theme is "I hate my same sex partner" or TV shows that run for years and get syndication with the same theme.
Happy couples are boring to watch, and LGBT in media at all is deemed scary and contentious.
What exactly is the takeaway with that reasoning. That it's acceptable to extrapolate as long as it's a popular depiction in media? For anyone that isn't a well-muscled, unusually pretty, straight, white, 30yr old high school student about whom a prophecy has been written, I don't think that's going to go well.
What year do you live in?
I was referring to the media portion because of how consistent it is and there are much better ways of making a relationship interesting, it's lazy at best. The point was how much it bleeds into real life. It's not hard to surround myself with friends who don't think/talk that way but in my previous job it was almost all married men I worked with and almost all of them were constantly complaining about their wives.
Thanks, I just found a new thing to be upset about.
Cause if both partners are the same gender, the basis for conflict can't be gender differences.
