If there was a way to fully unlearn Romanticism, everyone who wants a lover would be happily living with a good enough one.

My goodness, I honestly can't agree with this more since I really, really hate the Victorian romantic influence on postmodern relationships
What about the dreamers that want an extraordinary love? 👀
I hear you. 😊 I think the idea of living happily forever after which the one perfect person for you is a complete fallacy. And life just isn’t purely, constantly extraordinary to begin with.
If a good enough lover to go through life with is not your jam, you could also try having many good enough lovers - simultaneously or not. But the expectation of finding the perfect one and that they would be the only one and that it would make your life extraordinary for the rest of it, I don’t see anything good that can come out of that.
I get what you’re saying. I don’t think the “perfect lover” is what I’m looking for but the kind of lover that can also feel like my best friend. Someone that I can talk to for hours without getting bored. I’m sure everyone has had a friend like that where they could talk forever if life didn’t get in the way 😍
I think “good enough” can be pretty darn extraordinary.
Wait, what? 😅
I believe she’s saying that people are too picky and that you end up missing a lot of amazing life experiences because of it
That’s a very clear and pragmatic way to put it. 💯 🙏🏻
We’re not talking about you, my nostr:npub1clk6vc9xhjp8q5cws262wuf2eh4zuvwupft03hy4ttqqnm7e0jrq3upup9. You’re something else. 🌌 😌
I agree and disagree. What does good enough entail?
