Regardless of how stable a romantic relationship you can orchestrate (or fall into), it is wiser to become psychologically metastable and independent of fickle circumstances for contentment. Every human is born addicted to pleasurable external stimuli outside of their control. The only way to break that addiction is to take control of your emotional state internally. That is why most people are slaves to their surroundings. Nobody can self-actualize while they still pursue extrinsic rewards as their primary ends.

>not running at any form of escapism with open arms

You might be in a worse state afterwards but those fleeting moments are pure bliss while they last

>OP trying to stop the rest of us from getting gfs so all the girls who might like a robot go to him

But how do you do that? I recognized early that I was getting too attached to her, but I couldn't do anything about it.

Same with masturbating.
Masturbating has become a form of escapism for me. It's 50% horniness, 50% wanting to escape into another world.

The difference is that you can always masturbate, masturbation won't leave you

I feel that OP. I made it to 35 with near wizard status, then fell in love. I had no chance to avoid it, didn't seek it out, it just sort of happened. Now I'm emotionally exposed to someone who doesn't give two shits about how I feel. I was very happy with wizardry, now that I've felt an intimate connection with another person, I don't know if I can go back to the way I was. I am scared to trust another human with my heart. And I'm scared to be alone. I was just fine before. Why did this have to happen? All you tfw no gf mofo's dodged the bullet.

No we didn't, faggot. I used to have a crush that I cared about, but could not get so I was miserable, now I got over it and I'm empty and miserable, same shit.

>>25585402
Same shit I suppose. I had that happen to me before. This feels more profoundly painful.

This happened to me, and it's true. I couldn't leave my house for a month and i'm still hurt. But well, i'm 25, it had to happen sometime. Now I know that it's useless to put your whole life around another person, lesson learned. But it was so good while it lasted, I don't regret anything.
