Tell, don't show, the fucking banter back and forth should be a few lines long, enough to set the tone, but extended dialogue is just annoying. Like skip to the important statements and then just describe how it makes your current_viewpoint feel. I remember reading some mainstream published schlock a few years back that had a couple pages of two characters talking and it was all forgettable dialogue, like it was there just to fill pages and make a word count.

What would you say is some good fiction that isn't overly preachy and pretentious?

If you don't have children with her, your relationship doesn't even matter at all... if there is 1 life lesson I have learned with women is that unless kids are involved, it isn't even a relationship. She's just the hole you put your dick in.

Having kids is the only thing that actually binds you to a woman. Marriage, romance, social acknowledgement... this is all bullshit. There are so many people in dead / fake / open marriages that will espouse shit about being married and how great it is, but they're dead inside.

The ONLY thing that matters with women is having kids with them. Without kids, the relationship is akin to a man in a dress calling himself a woman. It's not even real.

A bitch can say anything she wants and put pictures of you and head up on social media and claim you are the love of her life, and then 6 months later ghost you for some guy from California up on a business trip. This happened to a dude I know who worked at East Side Games in Vancouver. He was with his bitch for 10 years and she pretended to love him on social media, then she met this game dev from California and dropped her 10 year boyfriend like a hot potato. It happens.

Kids are the ONLY thing that matter in a relationship. Everything else is just potemkin shit.
