      What do we see? A woman who seems to fall apart when she’s in a relationship, even though she’s fine on her own. Many of us want a partner, but living in a relationship is different. Suddenly there’s envy, unpleasant childhood memories, and the influence of toxic relationships we saw in our parents. Because of that, we react in ways we don’t actually want to.

        That’s what therapy is for.

        So just leave or go to therapy? Since the comic is very ambiguous, it could signify three things:

        • Her boyfriend is being toxic to her.
        • She is being toxic to her boyfriend.
        • Both are being toxic to each other.

        In any case, seek help if your relationship matters, or leave it because it’s toxic, wether intentionally or not.

        We should strive to be well-adapted adults, this kind of behavior is immature and unhealthy, even if the toxicity comes from trauma and not malice.

        You know, one of you is going to die alone. Being in a shitty relationship is worse than being alone from my own experience.

          In the words of my late mom; it’s better to be alone than to be alone together with someone.

        I’d take dying alone over a frustrating, pointless relationship.

      Looks like the boomer equivelant of “wife bad” to me. Downvote deserved in my opinion.

        You’re reading stuff in. This is a criticism of the artist/subject. There is nothing in this that says, “because of men.”

          So the title of the post “aint nothing but a headache” is targeted at the artist? Either my small brain fails to comprehend your explenation or my english is failing me. Possibly both

              But that’s neither the name of the song or a lyric from the song.

            Presumably the poster is expressing that they see an aspect of themselves in the character in the comic. Soon I’m going to start charging you for these insights.

      Or the artist was secretly spying on a past relationship of mine chronicling the misadventures of my ex.

      But yeah. The down votes aren’t warranted.

    Someone needs to find a very very calming and relaxing boyfriend she can feel 100% safe with.

    Going by her galleries🔞 she just has anxiety, and is expressing that her boyfriend is an emotional compressor for supressed emotions

    I can see why folks🧵 misinterpreted her emotional release comic.
