It is so silly that we herald romantic relationships over all other types of relationship. All connections can feature prominently in our life trajectories, and the ending of any relationship can hurt profoundly.

Outside of porn, tumblr is important for the queer community!

and maybe they were boning other people all along. Monogamy is not universal.

Giving up on love: I’ve long since given up on *lifelong* love... it doesn’t make sense to me. I think the people that manage to be married happily for a lifetime is a small percentage tbh.
