been thinking about this lately
what's your thought process about this ?
Hain?
Isn't this the meaning of romanticism? I am not sure I have ever resd something being associated this word in this context
Romanticism is an artistic and intellectual movement that began in Europe in the late 18th century. It's characterized by a focus on imagination and emotions. Romanticism is also known as the Romantic era or Romantic movement.
This isn't true anyway, Humans are more than 200000+ years old atleast. Most hunter gather societies were mildly monogamous, with what we call open relationship being practiced but with a single life partner.
I think it is important as societies become large. Same as religion.
Isn’t romanticism a literary movement from 18th century Europe? 👀
Numbers aside, having a compatible partner to share your life with is generally nice - doubt anyone really disagrees with that. It’s the lock-in clause of “life partner” that really complicates things.
Obviously, people want some kind of emotional security. But forcefully staying together after falling out of love also sucks. Everyone grows and changes over the course of their lives, and you can’t expect to be with the effectively same person forever.
IMHO, the very existence of divorce and break-ups invalidates the idea of having an absolute “life partner” anyway.
Marriage also only makes sense if you want to have kids. Some social/legal pressure to stay together for the sake of the kids can be helpful.
Otherwise, cut out the complications. Clearly communicate your needs and expectations. And treat your partner(s) with respect before, during and (if it comes to that) after a relationship.
Easier said than done, I know, but better in the long run.
Hmm my hormones aren’t that bright
