The idea of “soulmates” or “the one and only” is inherently dangerous because it threatens the honesty of a relationship at a fundamental level. And what’s more important to a relationship than honesty?

Right? Any relationship takes work to maintain, so expecting things to just magically work without putting in any effort is a recipe for disappointment.

Also, the whole opposites attract thing is kinda bullshit when you look at 40+ year marriages.

Your not wrong but there is always someone out there that just gets you, difficult to find but they exist.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Oh absolutely. My wife is literally the closest thing there could be to a soulmate. That being said, we both know that there are billions of other people in the world. There’s always an option to find someone else, so we always treat each other right.

My favourite phrase -

Your not wrong

Lol

Your not wrong

My yes right

This is a meme about milquetoast christian dudes...

There's no mention of soulmates anywhere. Why is this relevant?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Communication is critical but it's kind of related to honesty. You can definitely imagine a relationship where there is honesty but not enough communication or there is honesty but there is miscommunication without the issue ever being addressed.

Her skills in toaster operation seem pretty important given the context.

It's also amazing that they're "perfectly compatible" with the first teenage boy their parents let her talk to for more than 4 minutes alone

I quite like my Honda Accord.

[–] TheOakTree@lemm.ee 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They could have picked a less reliable car for the comparison... or one that's more easily stolen lmao

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yea, Accord is good. Altima is much better to be used as a metaphor.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 24 points 2 years ago

I see you've met my sister.

Some of us wish to be a Connor, these days I feel like the equivalent of a ford pinto

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Sometimes taking off your bra and sliding your underwear to a side is all the foreplay you need. So I applaud Connor.

[–] MrBusiness@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

That just sounds like standard procedure.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You applaud the guy with one move, that only works (in your words) "sometimes". Okay, whatever.

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Chill.

[–] Damage@slrpnk.net 14 points 2 years ago

I'd like to buy Connor a beer

[–] G6MOD@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Who is Connor? I'm confused.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think he'd meant to be a chad? Getting incel vibes from this meme
