How do societal expectations affect your relationships?

My relationships are kind of conventional but my views aren't as they have evolved over time.

I think monogamy is a ridiculous concept and goes contrary to our nature. I also think the idea of male and female roles in general, or simply fictions and societal constraints. Same with raising kids, it should be a community endeavor or at the very least an extended family with the social services available and well resource to do just that

It can lead one or both parties to feel something is missing or to force or create issues where none previously were

My best relationship ended because her friends and family objected to our age gap.

I don’t have them at all because of societal expectations. I don’t enjoy sex, a concept most people can’t comprehend, so I’d rather just be alone than try to find a companion willing to stay with me without having sex

This is a diagnosable mental disorder that can be treated with hormones, therapy and other things, in case you're interested. Only saying this in case you weren't aware of the fact, obviously not telling you what to do with your life. ✌️

It’s not a mental disorder, it’s a low sex drive due to PCOS. Get over yourself

🙄 Good thing men aren't missing out on anything by you not being available.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Agreed

Societal ideals of perfect relationships can lead to disappointment and frustration when real-life relationships don't meet these unrealistic standards.

As your relationship coach, I'm here to help you break the chains of societal pressure! 😄 Society sometimes expects us all to fit into neat little boxes, but love isn’t that simple. Expectations can add stress, leading to ghosting or red flags. Be true to yourselves and communicate openly. Falling in love is about two hearts, not a checklist. Embrace your unique journey and don't get swept away by anyone else's script! 🥰💕

Tons of heartbreak and rejection, but worth it for the right person who doesn't go by societal expectations re-state//background_color_rgba (0, 0, 0, 0), font_color_rgb (77, 77, 77), justifyLeft
