How realistic is a genuinely fulfilling LTR/marriage?

[Asdec]

I keep seeing women, both online and irl, constantly berating their man, treating their husbands like atms or emotional support animals. Obviously these dynamics don't indicate a genuine desire.

Then you look at things like the 50% divorce rate of which 80% of them are initiated by women, how marital satisfaction often drops after having kids. It makes me question how common long-term romantic love really is outside of the exceptions.

I don't think the world is black and white. It's not like you're either a betabux provider or a chad living the dream. Based on my own experiences and observations, I'm convinced there's a lot more nuance to relationships than that. But the question still remains: how realistic is a genuinely fulfilling long term relationship or marriage?
