    it is implying that the only way to have social solidarity is through a romantic relationship, when in reality, the way many people in the US practice romance is to let other social connections wither and make one other person their entire aocial support network.

    contrary to the messaging of mass culture, the opposite of couplehood is not loneliness or solitude.
