whomesome comic
Lemmy: where's the joke tho?

Very nice though, amicable breakups/divorces are good.

I liked it. I think its sweet. They can still be besties (best friends) because they realize they aren't compatible romantically. I think its a sweet comic ❤️

I feel like the fourth panel is what throws me off and left me scratching my head. Based on the previous one I'd imagine both of them to hype each other up, not just the man saying his former wife is single.

Can't believe this out of all things completely confused Lemmy. When I saw this I thought it was sweet, not funny. Not every comic has to be haha funny. I can just hope for half of this experience if I ever feel like I'm no longer compatible with one of my partners.

If it stopped at the third or.the fourth showed each of them selling each other then it probably would've been a little less confusing to me. The ending makes it seem like she's more upset with him or something, idk. Then again it's 5:30 AM after bass music woke me up at 4:30 AM and I can still hear it through ear plugs.

Holy hell. I saw your comment first, then the rest. My favorite is the genius claiming this behavior is a symptom of narcissism.

Personally the two worst takes I've seen was "but the entire point of marriage is that it's forever" and "this is why you talk about everything before you get married". As if people stop changing at some point in their 20s or whenever people start getting married

Tossing relationships like this away is a sign of narcissism. It's fine to move on but it's definitely maladapted to be giddy about it.

Amicable divorces are narcissistic?

[–] [email protected] -3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I see you didn't read my post.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I literally did. I don't see why you'd believe people have to mournful about an amicable divorce or why that would be narcissistic otherwise.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago (5 children)

They said "tossing away relationships like this is narcissistic" not "amicable divorce is bad".

"Several months ago" ... Not exactly suggesting it would happen over night. Recognizing a schism and supporting eachother through the changes in life is preferable to doing so depressed and hatefully, no?
