Probably because the stories of “my SO is awesome and we both try to make each other happy” isn’t the type of content that gets engagement on the internet.
Nobody really cares if you’re happy on the internet, but everyone loves saucy drama.
Also, not to burst any bubbles or anything - but stories on the internet are sometimes lies.
I know I know, big if true. But people want to be entertained and feel something. So stories of toxic relationships and infidelity gain a ton of traction, often because it let’s people look down on others to feel superior.
Relationships are hanging out with your best friend as you build a life together. Don’t let internet stories make you think that’s uncommon or not possible!
Waow, people go on the internet and tell lies? Noooo, how can that be?
Tbf it’s not the only reason I’m not really interested in a relationship. I have enough problems in my life right now, I really don’t need to add a potentially toxic relationship to the pile. Sure, if it’s a loving, caring relationship then it might help solve a lot of my issues. However, if it’s toxic, then it’s gonna make a lot of them worse. It’s just that seeing stories about “my wife hates my video games”, “my girlfriend is addicted to tiktok”, “my boyfriend won’t stop working out” etc makes me less interested than I already am.
