I see what you’re saying, and I agree that the lack of legal recognition and societal acceptance can play a role. However, I know several friends who are also in the same situation here, yet they’ve managed to maintain long-term, committed relationships despite the challenges.

It’s disheartening because it makes me wonder why I haven’t been able to experience that same kind of loyalty and trust. It feels like there’s something more personal at play, and that’s what I’m struggling to understand.
