I mean, that’s the conflict of the movie. If everyone around you is always kissing your ass, you’ll never know you need to wash it. It’s the crux of the movie. Sounds great on the surface but he wants to know he’s actually loved. Not just because it’s scripted to love him.
If everyone around me was being paid to like me all the time, I’d never be sure if I was a good person. No one would ever correct me or tell me I need to do better.

As someone happily married, I am rather offended at how incredibly shallow this statement is. My wife is beautiful, inside and out, and someone assuming I would immediately get over it if someone “hotter” replaced her instantly is a horrible statement.
And you just know that there are people IRL who think like this.

They’re people who have no idea what an emotional attachment is, they’ve never had one. To them, women are for sex, decoration and menial labour.

While I do agree with your sentiment, Truman’s wife was a bitch.

True. It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie.

Don’t worry - sober me will have a chat with drunk me later about greentexts.

It is a 4chan post, so it is written by an incel.

That’s because this is written by somebody with the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old, the body of an overweight 40-year-old, and the age of a 16 year old.

What you’re saying makes sense if you have a genuine connection with her
Truman’s marriage was not genuine

Of course.
Something to know though - I was very much not sober when I wrote that comment 😅

It’s not the greentext - its the entire mindset of “woman for sex and housework only” that offends me.
Drunk me apparently decided to say something about it last night.

A friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend after almost 3 years. 2 weeks later after that, he already had a new ‘love ❣️’ saves on his phone. No idea how the fuck he does it, but onestly it made me angry.

People are often over a relationship long before it’s actually over, especially if one party is abusive or the relationship is toxic (with or without someone’s fault).
I could’ve well been that friend, because nobody knew that I took my breaking up back and stayed in the relationship until my ex broke up with me because he was threatening suicide if I broke up with him.
