      What do we see? A woman who seems to fall apart when she’s in a relationship, even though she’s fine on her own. Many of us want a partner, but living in a relationship is different. Suddenly there’s envy, unpleasant childhood memories, and the influence of toxic relationships we saw in our parents. Because of that, we react in ways we don’t actually want to.

        That’s what therapy is for.

        So just leave or go to therapy? Since the comic is very ambiguous, it could signify three things:

        • Her boyfriend is being toxic to her.
        • She is being toxic to her boyfriend.
        • Both are being toxic to each other.

        In any case, seek help if your relationship matters, or leave it because it’s toxic, wether intentionally or not.

        We should strive to be well-adapted adults, this kind of behavior is immature and unhealthy, even if the toxicity comes from trauma and not malice.

        You know, one of you is going to die alone. Being in a shitty relationship is worse than being alone from my own experience.

          In the words of my late mom; it’s better to be alone than to be alone together with someone.

    Someone needs to find a very very calming and relaxing boyfriend she can feel 100% safe with.

    Going by her galleries🔞 she just has anxiety, and is expressing that her boyfriend is an emotional compressor for supressed emotions

    I can see why folks🧵 misinterpreted her emotional release comic.

      Looks like the boomer equivelant of “wife bad” to me. Downvote deserved in my opinion.

          So the title of the post “aint nothing but a headache” is targeted at the artist? Either my small brain fails to comprehend your explenation or my english is failing me. Possibly both

              But that’s neither the name of the song or a lyric from the song.

      Or the artist was secretly spying on a past relationship of mine chronicling the misadventures of my ex.

      But yeah. The down votes aren’t warranted.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
