Anon's gf is unfulfilled

Let her be. She'll be doing that for the rest of her life and there is nothing anyone but licensed therapist can do.

She won't let a licensed therapist help her, so no, they also can't do anything.

They don’t want a relationship, they want a never ending storyline. And if there’s no drama then they’ll make some.

This was my life for 7 years. I've been happily single ever since she found some other poor sob to torment with her bullshit.

20
- 4 years and one canceled marriage 3 months prior. 5 if you count the fact that I took her back twice before realizing she was always going to be like that.
  
  I feel you even if I wouldn't say I'm entirely happy.

If there's something that drives me up the wall, it's this shit. You found someone nice and you blame them for your fuckups and try to turn everyone against them. How scummy can you be!

Somewhat tangential, but my sister-in-law insists that people use "latinx" whenever she hears someone say latino or latina. This despite the fact that latinos overwhelmingly prefer the terms "latino" or "hispanic" to describe themselves; in fact most have never even heard the term latinx and most of those who have are offended by that, not by latino or hispanic. I like pointing out to my (very white) sister-in-law that there is nothing more white than telling other ethnicities what they should or should not be called.

Latinx sounds like a new Linux distribution.

57
- we should make it a distro, just to fuck it over. Sounds funny to me.
  
  25
- Latinx sounds like a cartoon about Latina fairies.
  
  8
- It should also bee a cool drink or a bag of chips.
  
  LATIN-X!!! THE BEST DRINK YOUR MOM HAS NEVER HEARD OF!!!!

- Saving from what actually? 🤔

Latino/a individuals have overwhelmingly said "No" to Latinx.

I haven't had many latina friends, but the ones I have had basically said a slur would actually be less offensive than latinx, and yeah, white people dictating what other cultures can and can't do.. kinda racist...

okay but what do genderqueer people whose first language is spanish say?

10
- Latine! It has the added benefit of being pronounceable in Spanish, unlike latinx.
  
  19
- The male form doubles as gender neutral. Some people have tried to start using -e ending, but I'm pretty sure basically no one actually uses it.
  
  Edit: Gotta love the dualing anecdote replies.

- They can call themselves latinx and I would call them that as well, if that's what they choose. The issue is with people (like my sister-in-law) insisting that everybody hispanic should be called latinx.
  
  7
most of those who have are offended by that

I've never heard of anyone having strong feelings, one way or the other, outside of the Internet.

- My couple Latino friends think it's stupid but idk if id say it's a strong feeling

Most of the Latino people I know are down to be called Spanish. Latinx is ridiculous.

-2
- Guessing you're being downvoted because Latino != Spanish just like American != British. "Spanish descent" is applicable to some, but Latino backgrounds are as diverse as American or Canadian backgrounds. It doesn't refer to a race or culture but to people who identify with the Latin American region (Central and South American and parts of the Caribbean).
  
  This is a TIL for me btw, as I originally was just going to respond that it includes Portugese but then looked up more information about "Latino" because I realized my idea of it was very general and wasn't sure if those with Aztec descent, for example, would be considered "Latino". The answer is yes, along with many descendent from areas all over the world, in case the first paragraph didn't make that clear.

it's about the minority that don't feel as though latino/a doesn't describe them. it's not for the majority favored by the status quo

-17
- So displease the majority to please the minority?
  
  18
- On the other hand its basically Americans telling others how to speak their language.

More like 'anon knows what a normal and healthy relationship is'

4channer knows what a normal and healthy relationship is?

Sounds fake and gay

- He probably got the Latino friend to write the post.

Does she listen to Taylor Swift?

Plot twist: it was Taylor Swift

- "This relationship is great and all, but studies show that if I made an entire album about being in a relationship, it'll tank my entire career, so bye!"

She just likes the high of drama. When emotions are running high some people get an adrenaline rush. It’s why for some people makeup sex can feel great. Since their body is full of adrenaline after a verbal fight. They’re basically adrenaline junkies, but instead of base jumping of a bridge they achieve their high trough drama. So when they get into a normal relationship they are numb to the highs and lows of this kind of relationship. Since they are used to extreme highs and lows. They go into withdrawal in a normal relationship and then they feel unhappy.

Just do meth like a normal person geez

^^^ This, this is why I don't have many cisfemale friends

-10
- I may had interpreted your message incorrectly, but I don;t think every cisfem is like that.

Woman's gotta get off those Disney movies.

I didn't like them both

Yeah, one is a drama junkie, the other uses 4chan

Trying to explain how a relationship works to your partner it's also very weird. Still, fuck that.

-15

idk man explaining relationships seems like a pretty reasonable and normal thing to me, if both people aren't on the same terms i'm not sure how anybody is expecting it to work otherwise.

You could subscribe to a "social" relationship standard but that's stupid.

13
- Explaining what you seek in a relationship is good, doesn't mean you need to "educate" your partner on what you think love is, everyone has different needs.

If they're not getting it, then sometimes it's necessary lol
