Your relationships are not your job.

Even parenting should be a privilege and a joy, or you’re doing it wrong.

NO RELATIONSHIP that you have an option to not have is not a job. This leaves work relationships that are literally a job as jobs, but your personal relationships are all NOT A JOB.

They exist to make your life better, not to perform some duty of a spouse or whatever thing you’re trying to do for whomever, your partner included.

Like would you ever make a friend to be a good guy? That doesn’t even make sense! Friends are a joy, right? Your romantic partners should be, too, and they should feel the same way about you.

And by the way, women want relationships just as much as men do, and vice versa. You don’t have to treat it like you had to force, bribe, and coax people into them as if they didn’t want it… In general, even. Don’t treat other single people like they need to give you a job. It’s not a job. It’s a mutual pleasure.
