It's simple enough, if you seal up the leaks, your relationship will be airtight again, it wont be open. If your landlord or counselor or outside person died, you'd have nobody to seal the leaks but you and your other half. Everything happens for a reason, you're with somebody for a reason, you meet somebody for a reason, it's not a bunch of dumb luck or bad luck.
Not everything needs to be loosened in life, things fall apart that way. An open relationship is one of them.

Hym "That's the whole thing. You're entirely projecting your relationship with your daighter onto society AND ME... And you're using that to justify doing whatever you want to me. 'If Sex > Relationship = Psychopath. Psychopath bad. Must stop Psychopath from fucking my daughter- I mean, destroying society! (And it's already too late for that anyway)' or ✌️✊️✌️Short-term gratification✌️✊️✌️ instead of relationship. That's your entire reasoning behind this. It doesn't have anything to do with trying to get unearned status. This is probably the worse way to go about doing that. Even if it was, you're a literal fucking charlatan, Jordan, you are the single worst person to be talking about trying to use something that doesn't belong to you to elevate your fucking status in society. You don't want me to have any status so long as I'm unwilling to give up my butthole to you. I don't care about what your molested retard patients did in response to their shit childhoods. The suffering scapegoat doesn't work on me. And now you want to control how men interact with women but NOT ALONG THE LINES OF MOLESTING A RETARD AT WORK... You're entire propositional ethic has exceptions for people you like and you're willing to use force on the people you don't like. And in this instance it's 'nebulous definition psychopaths.' You're a literal classist wannabe aristocrat charlatan. I was right to do this, Jordan. This was correct."

"When someone wants to be in a relationship with a specific someone but God dingly darn it they need to smash on the way to said person"
by Zelley August 23, 2023

Relationship leverage describes the balance of power between partners. It’s about the dominant role in relationships. The one who has the last word most of the time. This balance can shift for a number of reasons. Illness, or unemployment for example can change the balance of power between partners.
“She’s so hot, she has relationship leverage.”
“He has relationship leverage, he’s dominant and controlling.”
