I swear to god I'm not going trad, but the more I think about it the dumber it seems to encourage young people to do some serial monogamy before partnering up — like people whose only practice is in explicitly disposable relationships would be any better at the real deal

Part of the problem is that people don't know what do with each other. They're not supposed to be "codependent," whatever that means, and kids are no longer a given; a lot of couples just don't really know their *why,* beyond abating the lonelinesshttps://twitter.com/centralunplan/status/1180683888059965441?s=21 …

It's actually a hard problem to figure out what to do with each other if you've got two entirely independent career paths, no interest in building the same thing or compatible things, no desire for kids, etc. Which is why I think "codependence" is a bad meme, especially now

The concept of "settling," as soon as the word was coined, poisoned relations between the sexes from then on. Who ever wants to "settle" or feel like their partner "settled?"

I dunno, I’ve thought that too, and I ended up on “yeah she’s pretty damn amazing”. I don’t think the question is the problem, but the conclusions could be troublesome. The questions are completely natural when entering into a monogamous relationship.
