Get the romantic standardmug. Where relational interaction crosses the line which is considered exclusively for marriage/romance by an individual.
This tolerance varies from person to person, and can be determined by; what creates sexual desire/tension.
OBVIOUSLY: In a friendship where one person's romantic tolerance is lower, the relationship should naturally adhere to the lower standard.
(If they wish to remain platonic)
In a ROMANTIC relationship, if one person's tolerance is lower than the other, they are more likely to experience arguments and insecurity over exclusivity.
This is because the individual with the LOWER standard assumes that their partner has the same 'boundaries'/'tolerance' as themselves and become offended when their partner surpasses this limit.
Ex.
Person A: "You're cheating on me!"
Person B: "I literally just hugged them. Why are you so upset?"
In this scenario, Person A associates hugging as something that 'universally' creates sexual tension/desire because it is true for them personally.
So they label Person B as having broken romantic exclusivity.
However, Person B has a higher 'romantic tolerance' and sees hugging as an innocent form of interaction and socialising.
In reality, there was no betrayal.
