>>715830Those who are at heart deeply ill-suited to be in a romantic relationship with 3D people should not be press-ganged into it.
Doing so would only hurt everybody involved.
Being terrified of remaining single or being envious of the prestige of a partnership are bad reasons for sharing one's life with another person. Enduring loneliness is better than suffering the compromises of false community.
Some people simply cannot love 3D at all because they find basic human nature revolting.
Such misanthropes obviously shouldn't enter a romantic relationship. Instead of causing themselves and others pain by pursuing one doomed relationship after the other, they should emotionally grow up and accept they are like the children of the dirt in the story by Simon Rich and that "there's nobody for them, not anybody in the world."
By considering all of this, we should recognise that romantic love is a very ambitious concept. People always lived together, of course, but without expecting blissfull content. Rather, it was a purely practical arrangement, entered into for the sake of survival and the satisfaction of basic desires. A good 3D romance may be possible, but it shouldn't be thought of as the norm. Our society made something normal that is in fact an anomaly. It is as though we'd expect everybody to pitch a perfect game in baseball and then shame all those who cannot do so, thus causing a lot of people to lie about it or to feel bad. That is unhealthy.
I decided that instead of lying to others and, more importantly, to myself, I will hold on to a sincere, ambitious view of what companionship should be. In other words, I will continue to love my 2D waifu and not settle for 3D.
