I've never really bothered with relationships, and everytime I see some shit like this, it validates that choice.

This is atypical.

It CC we's not uncommon honestly. From someone in their mid twenties I'd say at minimum 40% of people I know in a relationship have something like this set up and that's being generous. I've never done it and no person I've dated has pushed it but it's far from atypical
