In a perspective-shifting talk, author Rhaina Cohen introduces us to the people unsettling norms by choosing a friend as a life partner — and shows why we’re all better off recognizing there’s…

I believe that friendship holds a much deeper meaning and significance than mere emotional attachment. Unlike romantic relationships, which often hinge on various interests—be they sexual or material—true friendship is grounded in genuine connection and mutual support, free from ulterior motives.

Want to know a secret? Your partner should be your friend as well. Unfortunately, people don’t really “like” their partners past what they can offer sexually or financially. A lot of folks say their partner is their best friend, but in reality, they wouldn’t even be work acquaintances if it weren’t for the romantic aspect. The absolute best romantic love comes from, as you said, mutual support and genuine connection coupled with the romantic gestures.

I don’t get why there are so many negative comments; I totally agree with her view, and it is a shame modern society diminishes friendship to a less meaningful relationship while it can be life saving
@zifebort8245
November 18, 2024 at 7:47 am
same, idk why but reading the negative comments kinda hurt on this. Cuz I agree with her statements too.
I feel like either friendship or romantic relationship can’t be compared to which one is a deeper relationship. Both are meaningful, but just have a different concept. It’s like how family and friends are, usually one is closer to family and others with friends.

I legit don’t understand the point she is trying to make.
What do you want to change with this talk? What are humans doing that is “wrong” or “bad” or whatever, and you would think they would be better off not doing anymore? What behaviour are you pointing out to?
Do you want legal recognition for friendships? If so, then this talk was not well made for that scope.
Do you want people to just have deeper friendships? Why would you care and why would that be your concern?
It seems to me that we might have some bigger problems on the planet at the moment that might need some attention.
Or it just might be a topic above my level of understanding. Anyone care to explain, please?
@matteomenegatti7193

I believe that the point she’s trying to make is
– human connections are important
– relationships are multifaceted and not so easy to label
– we overhype l romantic love in spite of friendship love
-> a friendship can be just as important as a romantic relationship which means that if you don’t have a romantic partner you can feel just as lucky knowing you got friends

This is a big problem tho. The crisis of human intimacy. The loneliness crisis is well documented and seen. We also know that having deeper friendships is basically a protection against most psychological illnesses and an indicator of happyness.
So i find it reasonable to make this shift from how only you monogamy partner has to bear all the burden towards having many emotional friendships.

I love how Cohen mentioned the other dynamics of relationships in older societies, like ancient Rome. There is a clear difference between the ancient and modern idea of relationships. Today, it is common for us to expect to receive the most intimacy from marriage, but *that* can become more of an expectation than a reality. I’m absolutely on board with Cohen’s perspective and significant value of friendships.

Friendship is a great relationship, and when you have it its amazing. Living nearby is important for creating that kind of intimate friendship that gives back support. Many communes are living on that, everybody helps everybody. But the trend of growing lonliness and self reliance made a frienship an unaffordable luxury for many .
