Re: Relationship Drama

If you're weird, then I'm weird, too, as the most interesting relationships to me (romantic and otherwise) are the ones where people find ways to make it work. I want to see parents who care about and get along with their children, lovers who make a point to trust and talk to and respect each other, friends who support and laugh with one another, and challenges to those relationships that aren't shallow and pointless. Not perfect relationships, those are boring, but imperfect yet functional relationships where people are always working at it, and a lot of the time, actually getting it right. I love that shit, eat it up with a spoon.

I won't say I've never enjoyed a hopelessly dysfunctional relationship, but they always get frustrating eventually. Happy couples never do, for me.

DA This is me as well. And I think it's why I'm rarely ever invested in television and movie romances. People always think I'm weird because I don't ship the most popular ships but I'm sorry I don't really like dysfunctional relationships? Like if something couldn't work in reality then I don't want to see it working in fiction either.

The drama can definitely be fun, but my big pet peeve is that most of these stories end up with the couple being each other's "true love" and they get together at the end. That frustrates me to no end. I have a lot more respect for writers when they break up the couple permanently.

This is exactly the problem for me, too! It's so inconsistent, you can't have your cake and eat it, too, making these people horrible for each other just to milk the drama for easy story lines, and then turn around and say they were meant to be all along. Nope, nope, a world of nope. Let the dysfunction meet its inevitable conclusion.

OP

This. All of this. I wouldn't like a perfectly spotless couple, either, I just want couples that like each other and get along! Real relationships aren't without problems, but yeah, I wanna see them team up and work through it together! Couples where they're constantly lying and fighting just make me wonder when one of them is going to get a clue and leave *coughPondscough*

Yeah, seriously, if I spend most of the relationship wondering why they even bother to put up with each other, something has gone wrong.
