Ftfy. Skydaddy gonna be angy they fucked before marriage

Are you saying you don't like piña coladas?

…How good is the “pop culture detective” YouTube channel?

It's basically "Anita Sarkeesian's ex keeps doing essentially the same kind of thing she used to do", to the point that the writing is similar enough (at least at the beginning of the channel, haven't watched any of it in a long time) that I wonder if he wasn't the one doing most of the writing for her stuff during the Tropes v Women era.

I mean, that was bad, but I hated the movie more for turning it into feel-good drivel about the boss actually being kind and caring about her employee(s). The book ending, where the character realized her own self worth and started making her own decisions, was so much better than the american bullshit about putting up with a boss' bullshit because they're actually such good people and will throw a few dollars off the balcony for you to catch.

Her probably:

not betraying your partner's trust is important too. cheating is disgusting, selfish behaviour

They break up in the end.

Boomer tropes exist because divorce was illegal.

You were expected to get married and stay married. You'd have unprotected sex with your high school boyfriend, you're goddamn right you were gonna keep the baby, and you were going to live together until one of you died. Even if it meant separate beds and not asking why he frequented that bar by the docks.

Blame Catholicism. That's usually a fair bet.

Work with elderly. Coworker said "how many of these women do you think have gone their entire live without an orgasm." It connected a lot of dots. The no orgasm to elderly fox news white women is the school shooter pipeline for wasp women.

While there are quite a few people who would jump ship from their marriage, that's not why the trope so popular. It's just that a lot of people like "forbidden love" tropes. Although most don't actually dream of doing those things, it's pure fantasy.

It's usually "we have gotten bad at sex" and there's no conversation about it. Maybe it wasn't meant to be. Talk about and figure it out. Then leave. Don't be a fucking dipshit about it.

It works from a story perspective but it sends a very terrible message.

The OG premise of The Office was similar to Seinfeld. They were all supposed to be awful people. Jim and Dwight and Michael were just three different flavors of incel. Jim hitting on a soon-to-be-married woman was supposed to be off-putting and gross. The front office guys treating the back office guys like trash was supposed to be elitist and revolting.

But because the writers needed to give you someone to root for, and because Jim was the "hot one" in a show full of normal looking people (aka the writers room from a bunch of sitcoms who thought it would be funny to have a show where they play each other's characters), they had to justify Pam breaking up and getting together with Jim. And then they had to turn the Jim/Pam arc into Friends. And then they had to turn the Dwight/Angela and Michael/Jan arcs into Friends. And by the final season they were just, like, "Fuck it, this show is now the same as Friends."

Especially when he ditches Karen in NYC while she's waiting on him to meet with her friends. Even if I was Pam I'd be put off by that

If I remember Casablanca right she doesn't actually knowingly cheat on her husband at any point. The woman has a relationship with Rick when she believes her husband to be dead before the events of the movie that we hear about 2nd hand. Then in the movie Rick helps her and her husband escape Casablanca.
