    Honestly, monogamy and the relationship escalator is a curse.

    Those people would likely be happier if they were just friends with benefits. Instead they have to start a new relationship, commitments, too much, break up, then miss each other and try making it work again, then fail as the relationship escalator demands more.

      Yeah. Idk I think sometimes it’s just two toxic people who enjoy or are at least fine with the drama. But other times I’m sure you’re right too.

          I’ve never seen a couple that operates this way do so in a healthy manner that they seem happy with. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I’ve never seen it.
