    Must frustrating thing personally experienced, if your partner is dense/slow on the uptake on cues.
    Example:
    me: hey honey let's go on a date together for a bit since your parents are off today.
    husband: Oh, ok sure, lemme get all the kids packed in the car.
    me: ...:facepalm:

    Sergius? Hmm...
    I found Raina pretty normal. Probably, she was drawn most realistically.

    Different intentions with lacking communication. Eg
    Half a year ago i hit it off real good with a girl, big crush and big hopes, tried a shot at getting a relationship, things went well until a reveal bout a boyfriend she didnt mention.
    She wanted to use me for revenge sex i was hoping for a deeper emotional connection. Got to know about her intentions later from one of our common friends

    Even as a woman I’ll say it was really terrible of her to want to use you like that. Men have feelings too and a woman who wants just sex isn’t like this huge blessing they are bestowing. It’s not right to mislead any form of partner.

    People. Just people. When someone is trying to show love, there should be no middle man. For anything, regardless. People can fall in love just by looking at each other in the eye long enough. What middle man can convey that? Whenever someone (children are ok sometimes) tries to third wheel it makes my eyes bleed. Especially if they know what they are doing, and are either trying to replace you or "protect" the other person. Most people can form their own decisions and if they can't you should let them try because that is how they will gain those skills. So all those white knight fathers need to learn how to raise their children to a point they aren't satelliting their daughters or with any of that "I must meet him first" or "I won't let you near my daughter". That type of cock-blocking is the worst because we are societally supposed to get confirmation from the father.

    Oh man, don't think of things like a relationship in terms of equality, that doesn't bode well

    When your negativity, family dispute, your rival, your evil mother, and misunderstanding met at the crossroad... really, it was really frustrating!

    Miscommunication or a refusal to listen or compromise.
    Usually ends up in bitter relationships and divorce >_>

    It's really important to me. At the very least, I want to be assured that I'm not the only one trying to keep a relationship afloat. I know it could be pretty unrealistic because there's no such thing as equal love, one shouldn't even measure it, but taking a leap of faith and hoping for the best, I can't do that.

    Satellite pests-those "helpful" friends or family that do everything in their power to keep someone isolated or from being asked out, especially relevant in high school settings and whatnot. So frequently a huge reason for much of the drama in such stories is because of third wheels who keep coming in and screwing things up for a couple/potential couple-either out of poorly thought out overprotectedness (that 'gag' of the girlfriend's father waiting on a porch with a shotgun waiting for the couple to come home) or of jealousy/malicious intent to keep someone isolated (think clingy best friend who secretly has a crush on a character, but refuses to act on it or was already rejected and sabotages any chance anyone else might have at going out with the friend-"if I can't have them, no one will")

    as some others have said-miscommunication/pride and refusing to talk about problems, and deception

    Being on equal footing is a good thing for sure, and both parties wanting to be in it is necessary. Feelings however are not something you can measure. The more you start fretting about feelings, about what the other thinks, the more doubt starts creeping in.

    Go for it and enjoy! Don't start off too seriously. Then the trust and comfort should come on their own. You'll always have to take a leap of faith when another person is involved. And that's a good thing, otherwise it wouldn't be so interesting :blobsmirk:
