In the specific instance of the yoga maniac yeah, but most of these guys seem to also be couch potatoes who don't wash their nuts.

My guess is a big heaping of sunk cost fallacy and also maybe horrible relationship examples from boomer/genx parents

Just today on FB I scrolled past some generic meme to the effect of "You shouldn't have to fight to convince someone to stay with you" and the comments were flooded with definitely-not-bitter boomers/gen xers saying RELATIONSHIPS ARE HARD WORK AND YOU HAVE TO SUCK IT UP SNOWFLAKES

keeping a relationship healthy is work, as it's a living thing, like a plant, and just like a plant it will have immediate, sudden needs you can't ignore or it will die

but yeah, that doesn't you should have to 'fight' or push against yourself/your partner in misery to keep it together. it's already hard enough, without enjoying it, what the gently caress is the point?

For sure, just thought it was a good example of how older generations view relationships/marriage as some grim, joyless death march and pass those attitudes onto their kids.

Also it's wild to me how many people in these stories are totally open about having a favorite child or grandchild. In my family even the most psycho relatives would have the basic intelligence to say "I love everyone in the family equally" while they were obviously favoring whoever kissed their rear end the most and called them every day. Just standing up at a holiday gathering and announcing that you're going to love some of the family more than others? Who the gently caress does that?

This and the ones like, "I stood up for myself/someone/did otherwise reasonable thing, and now all my family are calling me up and screaming at me"

It's either an overused trope for fake stories or a lot of people have some real Oops, All Psychopaths! families

This happens over and over and over. "But that's just how she is!" So many little boys who won't ever stand up to their lovely moms, and think staying "neutral" when their moms are horrible to their partner is somehow the high road.

I don't know if it's just a US thing cause I've only ever lived here, but this drive to keep the peace and decorum over all else is absolutely threaded through every facet of our culture, from politics down to families and I think it's a big reason why we're so dominated by loudmouths and psychopaths

I explained that while I love Grace, she isn’t very academically inclined. Average GPA, no extra curricular’s and has even said that she’s going to the community college close by for the first 2 years.

we met 3 years ago, 7 months after his divorce.

my son deserves that money

I can't help but think I may have caused it

We will help Grace pay off any loans she may have to get as soon as we are able and then start a new fund for our baby

I always lose patience with people who post stuff like that because frankly, it's incredibly annoying how in their heads they are. I don't mean the list of pros and cons, I mean "So we hung out for 2.5 hours on Tuesday and I texted her after and she said blah blah blah and I texted her back that blah blah blah so on Thursday we hung out and" just the ludicrous degree of overthinking absolutely everything.

He's 40, no 14. Too old to ask the Internet to do a minute-by-minute analysis of every interaction he had with a woman so we can tell him if she likes him or whatever.

The dating subreddits are full of people like this, constantly fretting and anxious about every minute thing and appealing to reddit for The Rules. It's kind of tragic and reads like the posters have never had a genuine romantic interaction in their lives
