Two days ago, I did an AMA about my current life situation, and I really enjoyed it. I find these super fun for some reason, so I’m back with another one! Same request as last time: please, no judgment or unkind replies. Thank you! 🤍

No, I’ve always been a curious person - never a judgmental one.
That’s nice. Would you describe your relationship as traditional (whatever that means for you)?
No. In my mind, “traditional” means toxic, oppressive, controlling - in other words, not good or healthy things.
Why would you say traditional is toxic? There are many relationships that have existed throughout history that are not toxic and based on love and connection. Unless we’re interpreting traditional differently.
I think more relationships have been based on power imbalances than “love and connection”, if we’re talking about all of humanity across the whole of human history. That’s the problem with talking about tradition though - you gotta get pretty specific. Whose tradition, starting (and maybe ending) when?
Agreed
Because that’s the version of “traditional” I’ve witnessed on a sociocultural level.
Agreed. How does that express itself in your relationship? And have you been in a traditional relationship before?
