i legit cannot wrap my head around like +50% of people's relationships. i assume its my own baggage or there's a missing element i don't know about... so i don't speak on it alot, but i stg it's like most relationships are just some mutated version of parent-child. like one person is clearly the parentified overly-responsible one who operationalizes the unit or one is like unreliable and explicitly requests to be monitored with like constant check-ins when they aren't together because they do risky/impulsive shit. like, i dunno, i see it and i can't imagine having the bandwidth to do all that.
