I would agree with you but there's a with a big issue I disagree with.
Happiness does come from other people. we are social animals. we need community. what really pulled me from a deep long term depression was that I began working with communities, mutual aids, organizing... now I have a relatively large network of friends whom I love dearly and value way more than any single romantic relationships.
The whole "monogamous relationship is the most important relationship in your life" is 100% bullshit. made to atomise communities.
If I had to choose a movie romance with my perfect mate, or my friends, I chose my friends.
and paradoxically, the focus on me and community has made me a more attractive partner with a cute girl currently flirting with me. However, this is not the goal.
I always have a hand if I'm feeling alone at night, my heart is full and alive now.
last week I went to an event about healthcare for all with my kids, and they were so amazed that I knew and hugged almost everyone in the room, with interesting stories about every one of them. I never thought I could be this.
and whenever I met most of them for the first time, I was completely starstruck with them. and now they are all my best friends. I love them so much.
No, monogamous relationship is a choice to hold someone very special and exclusive. You can do Polyamory, but you have to be honest.
I do plan to make a community and help people, but just from a good fucking distance away from the murder apes that could do me more harm.
monogamous relationships are a personal choice. what I'm saying is that it should not interfere with community. it can be a part of it. but if it interferes with your community it's better to stay single.
Huh, that sounds subjective though. Some people do find something quite special about love.
I however, decided I'm not dating, and I'm even going to cut down or eliminate NSFW stuff.
Shame, had some fans, but it is necessary.
if your relationship asks you to cut of friendships, run away
When you put it that way...
...can go fuck themselves if they do that. Or at least, I would say no, and force them to choose.
