You both need a time off, stop or make interactions really “rational and controlled”. It takes time to shift to different dynamic between you two.
Once you both (or at least one of you) get new partners, things will be more promising for a genuine friendship.
Otherwise, lingering feelings or “emotionally weak” days seriously risk ruining the relationship and make things permanently awkward.

Basically: if you don’t have choice, you don’t have freedom.
However, I see the value of reinterpreting your only option and get to love it not because you choose it, but because you can appreciate its (perhaps few) good things.
my two cents
Aaaaaa, that is what “crabs” mean!
I am not familiar with the required slang. Could somebody ELI5 me?
Nice, but I quite didn’t understand the utility of this video

You, my friend… you become the cure to cancer. Keep it up, hero.
That’s all I needed to hear :D
Humans were never meant to take care of babies as couples or alone.
Research suggests that given the tradeoffs of our evolutionary path, we had to shift towards a collective parenting (call it tribe, clan, extended family, etc.)
The modern “individualization” of the person is what has convinced us that such parenting form is “normal” and bearable, and that if you feel overwhelmed, there is something wrong with you.
That’s Big Mouth’s Jay shit, right there
I would argue that the average person refers to a mix of both when they use the word “empathy”:
Classifying one as “a terrible problem” and the other as acceptable seems (at least) a bit pedantic. Specially when it comes to language, a dynamic phenomena in which words mean what (the majority of) people deem them to mean.
my two cents
TLDW. what would the difference between sympathy and empathy be?
I just don’t tip. Period. Zero. Nada. Unless I have the initiative of doing it because I feel that the person did an excellent job.
Zero shame on not tipping.
You realize nobody thinks, that you are the only real human, and all of this is a simulation where you are alone in a virtual reality test room.
I’ve seen the thorn guy around on other posts. It bothered me at the beginning, but now I’m like “hey! It’s the thorn guy! I know him!”
Next time I find him, I think we are gonna be friends or something.
Also, this the fediverse, we don’t yell at each other for these little things :)
