My mom and step-dad have been married for close to 15 years now and they’re very happy together. I don’t think it’s at all impossible to have a healthy cis-het relationship, I really hope you’re just being hyperbolic and that you don’t think cis people are incapable of healthy relationships
I think cishet people are prone to very gendered problems in relationships, and in general a lot of relationships from the outside do look terrible. But a lot of it is so normalised that it doesn’t seem particularly shocking.
But then I talk to people in queer relationships and realise once you pull back the veil of normative gendered relationships there’s a whole new layer of insanity and neuroticism in most people to deal with under that layer anyway.
