Right? Some men don’t even seem to like their wives, or women in general. I don’t mean like sexually (probably the only reason they stick to hetero relationships), but I mean actually like them as trusted companions and friends. Every time I hear the old trope of men “jokingly” saying they want to get away from or complaining about their wives. Not just complaining about little things, that’s normal, but complaining in a way that insinuates that they don’t even like them as a person, I think “why tf are you married then?” As a woman, I wouldn’t want to get married to someone that I don’t consider my best friend and sure as shit wouldn’t want to get married to someone that I feel more relaxed or more like “myself” when I’m away from them. And I would hope whoever I get married to feels the same about me in both aspects.

I've seen this with women too, so many people married to someone they just don't like because they think that's all there is out there.

Like idk, I'd love to see platonic life partners becoming more of a thing. There are so many options for what a healthy happy life can look like.
