Right, the characters are supposed to end up totally alienated from each other, or locked behind walls or neuroticism, or ultimately realizing together that the idea of their relationship was flawed and becoming friends instead. Anything but coming together and reproducing, right?

Rarely but you’re right and I do think monogamous true love is possible but only with great discipline, dedication and devotion that most Zoomers/Milennials are simply incapable of providing.

When I read romance, I want:
>Boy meets girl
>They get close
>Conflict happens
>They make up
>Sex scene
>Happy ending
If you stray from this format, you fail to impress me

Isn't this just the ending to The Graduate (1967)?
