Like, I see more of this in straight couple... I get jealousy and stuff cause everyone experiences it but wym you can't have your s/O be friends with the opposite gender? That it's just "respect" For your partner like bro no, that's controlling of their life. When people have this kind of mindset, makes me think they fall for every person they see and sees them as nothing but love interests or insecure. it's funny cus in this kind of scenario, are bisexuals or pans just supposed to stay friendless??? At the end of the day, it's literally on your partner to have boundaries and reject someone. I don't see the point of continuing a relationship either if your partner is still hanging out with someone who's obviously interested in them romantically without them fully rejecting it or doing anything about it.
honestly it's probably rooted in deeper issues and monogamist relationship limitations. im aware this is a hot take and very specific but simone and sartre's relationship always comes to my mind when talking about these topics. i feel like love and attraction can be separated to an extent and that loving someone doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't feel attracted to someone else. it just means that you don't act on it if it's something that your partner doesn't want in your relationship. it's literally human nature to feel attraction and it's stupid to think that you can only love and feel for one single person, or that that person should be the only one you talk to in that gender. it's almost always straight ppl who have issues with this and it's sad to see lol. thank god im anything but straight
literally i don’t get why people are surprised&disgusted there are people attracted to the same gender.. were they not segregated away from the opposing gender??
I agree . Ever since I can remember, I've been told to not talk to the opposite gender and as a result, do you know who my first friend was of the opposite gender? A fucking 27 y.o. MAN. Mind you, I am 18 y.o. yeah. And i believed whatever he told me in the oretextf being "friends" since I've NEVER had a boy friend! People, normalise friends of the opposite genders or the gender they are attracted to so your children don't get enticed by weird older men who still wanna hang out with teens
