I really can't think of one book in existence that has a successful long term relationship

Fuck man

>>13580096
Daily reminder that this was the norm in the pre sexual revolution male utopia
Socially enforced looksmatched relationships are crucial for social cohesion

>>13580161
okay hitler

>>13580161
As if you lived in pre sexual revolution male utopia to know this.

>>13580143
Does that successful long term relationships does not exist?

>>13580096
lol?

>>13580235
I did, can confirm.

>>13580405
Sure you did

Little, Big by John Crowley is literally what you're looking for.

>>13580161
I agree. It was a good aspect of Western culture that's dying.

>>13580096
If you want to read this pic not happening read Family Happiness by Tolstoy

>>13580096
There was short story by Jeffrey Archer they made us read in school that went like this. I think it was called 'Old Love'.
Try looking into those kinds of authors.

>>13580161
why do you accept brainwashing?

I don't think he's that far off from the truth is he?

>Actually spewing shit like this on a /lit/ board

Why are you here when you have obviously never opened an actual literary work

>>13581338
Family Happiness had a happy ending though.

They still loved eachother, just not in the same way they did at the start of their marriage.

>>13580161
>low IQ bullshit
Have you ever heard that 'forever is a lie'?

It doesn't matter how much you love someone it never lasts till you die. You eventually move on. That's how it is supposed to be. There's no such thing called permanent. Humans are polygamous by nature:

And do not think you'll find an old wrinkled hag attractive, you low T incel.

Where do you see an utopia in this pic?

What an absolute fucking joke. If you’re relying on Psychology Today, or any psychologist, as a source for anything you need to neck yourself now. It’s been obvious for some time that psychology isn’t a science, isn’t objective, and is merely a propaganda tool to promote social programming.

Nice strawman, you have to be an unbelievable loser if you think that polygamy is a left-wing sytem. It was practiced before Christianity worldwide. Why do you think that a man produces thousands of sperms daily? To impregnate only one woman?

And why do women become incapable of conceiving after 35+? And why do men still produce sperms until late age? Use your brain you idiot.

I look up at the sky, deep blue and eternal. And up there, far far in the distance, the point majestically soars over your microcephalic head.

>>13583231
I have to learn not to discuss with christcucks. Nothing good can come out of it. If they were able to be persuaded with facts they would not be christcucks.

>>13580161
Lmao wtf

>>13583252
Based on your posts here, I don’t think you ever “discuss” anything with anyone. You’re a bloviator with very poor reading comprehension. “To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail” — that describes you to a T, amigo.

>>13580096
>that pic
makes me realize how good it is to be in a relationship where we actually like each other and get along.
>feels good man

>>13583272
You are using that expression wrong. And you are a huge cockmongler.

>Doesn’t say which expression he’s talking about

The term imbecile was once used by psychiatrists to denote a category of people with moderate to severe intellectual disability. The word arises from the Latin imbecillus, meaning weak, or weak-minded. It included people with an IQ of 26–50, between "idiot" (IQ of 0–25) and "moron" (IQ of 51–70).

>>13580096
there aren't any. literature requires sadness for greatness.

>>13580161
>this was the norm
Five babies in the first two images was the norm, not one baby after the menopause.

>>13580096
Tfw this was going to be my ex and I but she cheated

>>13583717
I don't see how that is relevant, are you describing yourself?.

>>13583850
This.
Also, something is missing in the last image: the five children and the 25 grandchildren.

A utopia has never existed, especially not a sexual one

He stated a fact about the past and its relation to the present, he didn't derive a conclusion about the past from the state of the present. Learn to read.

Appeal to Authority works both ways: it is also a fallacy that the lack of authority has anything to do with whether the argument is valid. Both the appeal to authority and the appeal against authority misdirect the argument from what is said or referenced in the work.

Funny how people who are in being so quick to point out the one don't see how by pointing it out they are committing the other....

>>13580161
I have been married for more than twenty years. We still hold hands in public...
She is making a delicious meal from scratch for our dinner even as I type.
Marriage is not for everybody, but it can be pretty good if the right people hook up.
;-)

>>13584552
True! Certainly marriage is NOT a Utopia LOL, but if both spouses work together as a team it can be pretty good! It doesn't get handed to you on a platter, but nothing of worth ever is...

>Socially enforced
Fuck everything socially enforced. Enforced relationships disrupts and weakens the gene pool.
Have sex with an ugly 180 pounds girl incel. You'll see things differently after.

Geez, how old are you, and how did you even discover this place

Underworld Don DeLillo and V by Thomas Pynchon. There is this type of relationship in one of each. The former are bigger characters than in the latter. It's not going to be so obvious to find if you think "OOH I LOVE YOU" is all "OOH I LOVE YOU" rather than jabs at each other, too. If you need help finding it, read As You Like It.
