Nowadays, many couples are actually just "meat and wine" couples.
Today, I was having dinner with a friend and we talked about how many couples nowadays are really just "meat and wine" couples. Two people are together just to eat, play games like Honor of Kings, travel together, exchange small gifts, occasionally add some romance and drink wine. But when faced with real-life problems, conflicts arise—like how to earn money, whether to get married, how to handle the house and car, not to mention how to get along once children are involved. In fact, many couples' first reaction when encountering difficulties is not "How can I help him/her?" but rather "Will he/she hold me back?" or "Should I leave..." Is this the price of free love? Has our relationship become cheap? It often feels like we’re not looking for a lifelong partner, but just a shell to fill our desires, simply cohabiting. If you find someone who can not only drink and eat with you but also share common goals, truly, you are very lucky. I also hope to find such a person.
