Ok I'm obviously stirring the pot here. I still mean it, though maybe not as hyperbolicly. At least with bosses the power dynamic is out in the open. At least the workplace has undergone revolutionary transformations. Romantic relationships are still sulking in the shadows...
I look around at the people in my life and romantic relationships cause grief in a highly disproportionate manner.

More thoughts!
I am more likely to hear someone say
"I hate this job, I can't do it anymore, I'm going to quit, I'll be poor for a while but it's ok."
Than I am to hear someone say
"I'm not happy in this relationship, it's not working for me, I'm going to break up with this person, i'll be lonely for a bit but it's ok."
