Juggling between two partners because you can’t choose who to be with.


LucasRunner

OR How the entire movie is set to describe the life of a girl who seemingly have a perfect life with a perfect boyfriend, the "other guy" is seemingly a romantic looser but he gets the girl because the script sets the other dude to be a jerk and give an excuse for a traumatic break so the romantic other is there for her except she has been seeing him the entire time either way.


Opening_Sell_6479

Jim and Pam from the office relationship in a nutshell. Cant believe how many people call it "relationship goal" when she cheated on her fiance, but its okay because "he was a jerk to her".


D0013ER

Yeah, this one kills me. Yes, Roy was a bad partner. But he wasn't holding Pam captive. She could have left him at any time, but that would have required being single again and she didn't want that. So instead she monkey branched. Roy was her placeholder.


bemest

I found nearly every guy is a placeholder. She will dump you in a heartbeat if she thinks there’s a better option.


Caffeine_Cowpies

IF is the key phrase. And yeah, that’s a thing. But if she thinks you’re the best for her, then she’s loyal. There are women out there for you who see you as a catch, as a man worthy of love and affection. If you keep running into those girls that treat you that way, I would look inside yourself to see how you are attracting those women and start to find better women. Married for 10 years, loyalty and respect go much further than attraction.

I never got why Idris Elba treated Jim like shit, but looking back at all the stuff Jim did, I get it!

Try saying that in the r/dundermifflin community and people lose their shit.


Federal-Rip-9335

perfectly describes Outer Banks John B and Topper w Sarah


LucasRunner

The last one i watched that follows this to the line was _"The F word"_ with Daniel Radcliffe There are just so many, like holy shit Is this a fetish or something? A boyfriend suddenly starting to act like a douche so you get a pass to explore new ventures lol


[deleted]

It makes sense that that would be a fantasy for some women. They get to eat their cake, and have it. They have a great BF, until they want a new one, then they get a perfectly morally justified reason to switch over. With a new person they can shit talk with their gal pals over booze at the next girls night out in the bargain. Before we go judging them the key word here is **fantasy**. Let's not pretend that the average male fantasy world is all sunshine and rainbows.


odeacon

The mental gymnastics they did to try and portray Sarah as still a good person in the last season would even impress flat earthers


Federal-Rip-9335

That level of dedication towards global warming and we would have the thiccest ozone layer


Lionswithwands

It’s even worse what they did in Sweet Home Alabama. Patrick Dempsey’s character is perfect, and he never stopes being perfect. He is so perfect, in fact, that when she leaves him, he is gracious and accepting and absolves her completely. Also, how are there TWO movies that cast Patrick Dempsey as the romantic foil who checks every single box for an ideal partner, is not chosen in favor of a guy who the romantic lead already tried and failed to have a successful relationship with, and is gracious about this to an extent that defies all logic and reason? All while being super wealthy and looking like Patrick Dempsey??? My suspension of disbelief has its limits.

TheDarkness33

Always choose the 2 one. If u love the first one enough wouldnt be an 2 option. At least thats what someone told me.


Weazy-N420

It’s absolutely true. If you love someone or even just respect them as a person the last thing on your mind is being intimate with someone else. If the opportunity comes and you’re stuck on someone else, do yourself and your partner a favor by ending it. Then explore your options and maybe even keep some bridges from burning.


ReturningDemon

What about the people that just got bored and once someone that excites them comes along? Most of the time it’s just lust but at the moment it feels like love. That’s burning a bridge after using a zip line. Part of loving your partner is being faithful in the face of temptation, not leaving cause you think you found something better. I only say that cause a big chunk of the time, any new person they could be intimate with, they have no idea what kind of person they are other than on the surface. ONLY time that might ok, is if after spending time with them, you find you GENUINELY love this person, and after that you need to sit yourself down and make some changes, just make them in the right order and properly.


No-Bus-4529

Yup its like juggling 2 headaches to the point where the only way to find relief is them bailing on you or you bailing on them.


CoconutSamoas

Or you can drop them both if they're both headaches? Why do that to yourself?


TozZu89

Did you direct this directly at Daisy Duck?

Showing up at someone's wedding and yelling "I object!" to profess your love for them and that explain why they should marry you instead of whomever they were literally just about to tie the knot with.

K_Schultz

"I don't actually love my fiancee, but I will still marry them unless someone I actually love objects at my wedding. I can't just call the wedding off and try to find someone I love that loves me back, I just need this one person who is probably not making a move because I'm going to marry someone else to be brave and interrupt my wedding and say how much they love me."


cnygreen

It’s probably from a much older tradition when arraigned marriages were more of a thing. Families “selling” off their daughter to other families in order to form an alliance or something.


The_Pleasant_Orange

Nope, it was for legal reasons: "If someone knew a member of the couple to be already married, underage, unbaptized (church law), or forcefully coerced into the union, it was considered their duty to object. The same was true if they knew the couple to be too closely related by blood."


cnygreen

Ohh very interesting, thank you!


ScaredBreakfast7341

Came here to say this. Weddings often require years of planning and are astronomically expensive. Why wait until the very last moment? At this point itd be less awful to wait until they got married and cheat with them


[deleted]

I'd love to see a movie where the woman does this... only for the credits to be the woman's parents, and now ex fiancé, berating her for wasting all of their time and money due to her indecisiveness.


Aggressive-Button536

Stalking people and threatening to kys if she says no this happened in the note book


Square_Site8663

It’s literally the biggest Little bitch move


Second_Inhale

The notebook is such a bad movie. Their relationship was so toxic.


TotallyNotHank

Trying to win someone over. You don't want someone who isn't interested, and you don't want someone who's lukewarm toward you. You don't want someone who plays hard-to-get. If the other person doesn't *want* you, then any relationship you have won't be worth having. Trying to manipulate someone into doing what you want. You can't build true love on top of a pile of lies. One of my favorite TV shows is *Crazy Ex-Girlfriend*, partly because the main character keeps trying to live her life like she's in a movie, and it keeps not working, and eventually she gets herself sorted out. You can't manipulate someone into loving you, you can't lie your way into happiness. There is no "meant to be" or "the one," and there are no signs from the universe: there's the world you live in and the decisions you make. Your life isn't a story. One of the best lines from the show is "Life doesn't make narrative sense," which goes against trying to imagine that your life is a movie.

TotallyNotHank

The show is well-written, and there are lots of lines that are good advice, but that's one of my favorites.


haphazardlystrewn

I freaking love that show and everything you just wrote is basically a perfect summary of it's message. I also really like how they tackled Rebecca's mental health journey


bubblesandrama

1000% agree


thefvckncaptain

Beach sex hands down. Drop your pants and sand immediately flies to your junk like metal to a magnet


ToulouseLaShrek

I only had beach sex one time. And then it sucked so we hopped on a bus while trying to remain horny. And then we did it on a bed but I still got sand in my mouth.


Cheedo4

Should’ve showered first..


MadMelvin

I don't like sand


moranya1

It's coarse and rough and it gets everywhere.


B34RC4T

I had sex on a beach once in 2004 and I'm still trying to get the sand out


hellsangel101

I was going to ask whether sand or glitter would be the worst for getting everywhere, but I think I have to give the award to sand, because at least glitter makes you sparkle.


Tennis_Proper

The only time I’ve done this was at a resort with beds on the beach. This is the way.


Mr_Serotonin_

I would say any sex in water source. Water washes away the natural lubricants and it gets very friction'y.


Dell_Hell

Yeah, your tender bits do not need to be sanded down or vigorously exfoliated.


beigereige

Stalking. And that’s what it is. Stalking


fuzzy403

Continuing pursuing after the woman says she’s not interested. Bad idea all around lol.


ThrowRAAA5656

I’m not a man but I’d say laying your coat on a puddle 😂

sourkid25

holding onto a ferris wheel and threatening to jump unless you go on a date


Crunch-Potato

That is an excellent move for one specific reason, it is for crazies to get together and out of the dating pool. This is why I fully endorse people bringing out their crazy on day one.


PlatypusAggressive64

Both characters to me were four cents short of a nickel.


PlatypusAggressive64

I saw the notebook. So many ways that could've backfired.

Standing outside her bedroom window and playing the guitar.


anirudhrao31

XANDERtheSHEEPDOG

The classic "slap then kiss" by a women. It's a romantic movie trope... but in reality, she is actually committing assault. Definitely **NOT** romantic.


Merry-Leopard_1A5

i'd legitimately start punching if a anyone tried and slapped me... ...and it's not out of prejudice, hate/anger or any kinda of vendetta agaisn't slappers, it's because the last time someone slapped me, i lost hearing in my right ear for 3 days


PrinceFan72

Turning up at your best mate’s house, with a load of placards under your arm, pretending you’re carol singers and then showing creepy love letters on the placards to his new wife. After stalking her for years.

BigDaddyCool17

Making out against the wall is cool at times, but yeah insertion aint happening like that


SeveralConcert

Proposals in front of a lot of people, especially if they all know you. I feel cringe


manvsdog

Not taking no for an answer. "I'm not leaving until you agree to go out with me!" or "Just one date, and then I'll leave you alone!" and the like. Creepy. Reminds me of that god awful movie the Notebook. The main guy manipulates that poor woman into going out with him by threatening to kill himself in front of her (and her date, if I remember correctly). The girl I saw it with at the time thought it was so romantic to be "pursued" like that, when really it was just manipulative stalking.


Somethinguntitled

It’s romantic to women because it’s Ryan Gosling. Substitute him for a slightly overweight fast food worker from Birmingham with a neck beard and they would change their tune fast!


Crunch-Potato

Oddly specific on that one...


Feathersteps

If anyone, let alone Ryan Gosling, threatened to kill himself in front of me. I would be calling the police


[deleted]

Having sex with your relatives when they get stuck in the washing machine… an oven would be much more believable.


PM_ME_HORRIBLE_JOKES

rojobobo

That's Netflix adaptation logic If you neglect the core cooking porn audience to pander to the incest demographic, you will deserve neither and lose both

Nah, they'll be too busy wondering why there's hardcore sex in their reality tv bake-off.

[deleted]

Dont have while cooking it looks in movies but not so much in real life… food gets burned, extremities get burned it just makes for a bad night…


porkborg

When a man forces himself onto a woman who is saying no and even fighting him off. I don't think I need to explain why it's a horrible idea in real life, but in movies it's often shown as sexy and seductive -- and the woman ends up wanting it.


Andy-the-guy

Being persistent to the point of creepy. Like dude if you have to be told no more than once then go get shit on by a horse.


3chordguitar

Shower sex


ToulouseLaShrek

Foreplay only, unless there are magically 2 showerheads. Usually the worst part of a shower is when you turn it off and you are immediately cold.


Hugh_Jego_69

I think the worst part is that water is horrible lube


Mehgs_and_cheese

I am selfish in the shower. My temp is set at Mordor and it will * not * be changed.

No-Bus-4529

My buddy had a hot younger coworker who almost got him to leave his wife for her but i kept telling him over and over, if you get with her there is no longevity in your relationship because the foundation is based upon cheating. You're a cheater, shes a home wrecker, you two will never trust each other.

ItsAWonderfulFife

Obsessing over a woman from a distance, even if it’s very romantic and innocent obsession. Thinking about how good you would be together, how well you would treat her, etc. You don’t know her, she’s a human being and putting any person on such a pedestal will only lead to disappointment and unfair expectations for her.

Sorry to the girls i didnt give up on coz i loved them too much if i could go back in time and be less creepy i would. 90s romcoms steered me wrong and nobody around me was there to tell me theres a point i should move on.

Token_or_TolkienuPOS

One of the couple convinces the other one to do something immoral / illegal and just as the security guard is about to catch them in the act, they both manage to sprint off giggling into the sunset ending with hysterical laughter at how "naughty" they were. In real life, a partner who tries to rope you into dangerous illegal activities which can affect your future does not give a shit about you.


Stabbmaster

More or less, everything. Leaving your spouse/lover of X years because you went through an ordeal with someone for a few hours, grand romantic gesture for someone that outright and very openly rejected you, forcing yourself on another person because "they want to be chased", ignoring boundaries because there is some hint of sexual attraction, just pick a cliche' and it can be turned into a felony.
