A lot of people say influencer relationships are not necessarily “fake”, but in reality, they aren’t happy relationships either; they’re toxic, they don’t really “love” each other, and a lot of them even have kids.

For example, there is an influencer couple; they are in their 30s, have been dating for 9 years, and have a kid together. The guy is a model, and the girlfriend is or was an actress; they post about each other a lot.

but recently it came out the guy (I’m blanking on their names) is a HUGE Christian right-wing Trump supporter followed Charlie Kirk, red pill tradwives content, Andrew Tate type, etc.

Some people have pointed out that his partner doesn’t really act anymore and only does hobbies he’s into, and he doesn’t do anything she likes.

I don’t know how authentic their relationship is, but on that topic

How much of it do you believe is really true?

    I figure pretty fake, just for show, like how K-Pop stars aren’t allowed to have boyfriends/girlfriends, but in reverse.

    I also figure it doesn’t much matter. I used to compare my marriage to those of my father’s. I first outlasted his second marriage, with my marriage, then I outlasted his first one, to my mother. Then I realised it was never a competition. Just like I have to be my own man, he was his own man, and the failure of his first marriage wasn’t his fault (my mother broke it off — not her fault, either). Now we’re coming up on 20 years and it’s like, yeah at this point we’re gonna be married “til death do us part”.
