Why do relationships cause pain? Is it because of desire? Original sin? Evolutionary mechanism?

Because we see other people as property and get mad when they don't do things as expected.
But don't listen to me, i probably have schizophrenia or something and i have a deep resentment with society and every person who lives with happiness because the world doesn't work as i was told like in my christian household.

Can confirm, see people as property and get mad when they dont do what i want
Ideal and realism doesn't work. You have an ideal version of the other person. Reality differs. Therefore suffering.

you can objectify someone without objectifying the whole person. I own my wife's ass for instance.

objectification is the opposite of viewing someone as property, when you objectify them you accept their innate behaviors
for example if your dog keeps shitting on the rug you blame yourself for not toilet training it, if a woman won't have sex often enough you blame yourself for not manipulating her into sex

I like the /his community, you get alot more meaningful discussion then other boards aswell as less /pol in general

Because we're insecure and any perceived slight is a slight on our very essence as human beings. The closer the person the more it hurts because they have a more accurate perception of you. Possibly even better than you yourself have.

And that's a good thing, considering how contrived the historical discussion is here.
>hurr durr I'm gossiping about historical figures post-hoc, acting like I'm personally invested in all their actions

>[Did X do anything wrong?]
>[Yes, because common knowledge factoid]
>[No, because alternatively edgy, controversial factoid]
Get fucked, faggot. This board was a fucking mistake to begin with, intended for retards who thought they'd be able to whimsically LARP as Romans.
Equating relationships to seeing people as property is asinine. Desire seems accurate to me. Maybe it's also about making bonds and loyalty.
I think the pain in relationships comes from vulnerability and how much you care about the other person. Opening yourself up to someone means all your defenses are down and that person can hurt you more than others. Ya know 'cause there are personal connections made and those people means something to you.
People as property seems more apt of cucks and swappers who pass their partners around.
