Well, that isn't what you originally explained as drama. Yes, I have had relationships without the above.

Yes, sure; I and my friends have had relationships without those things. That sounds exhausting.

Even the closest couples have arguments and disagreements. The rest isn't even in the same category so it's a bit surprising you lumped them all together.

Is it your intention to approach this question as if you were an alien from outer space, observing human relationships from media, meme and lore?

Have you ever been in a relationship of any kind? You seem far too afraid of normal human behavior.

PASSION! Passion is dramatic.

Any kind of disrespect such as the silent treatment, cheating, cutting off sex, etc. is not drama. Head games maybe, but not drama.

People are going to disagree, sometimes strongly. You fight and argue. Then you make up.

I think one of the main reasons I'm still single in my mid-30's is my low tolerance for drama. I find it to be unhealthy and unnecessary in the majority of cases. I also feel like people I date will sometimes deliberately do things they know will cause drama, conflict or confusion. This leads me to respect them less, which is the beginning of the end right there.

I've only dated a few women where there was mostly no drama. One in particular I really miss and regret not proposing to. Didn't realize how special she was at the time.
It's not

I rarely have drama in my relationships.

If one has drama in their relationships they need to look at themselves and the people they are choosing to have relationships with

I've had plenty of relationships without these. Cutting off sex? Haha, seriously?

Most men I've known who had wives/girlfriends who supposedly "cut off sex" were treating them badly and making them really unhappy with their behaviors and attitudes, and then could not understand that there would be any correlation, between the woman's emotional state toward them, and whether she wanted to have sex. If anything, some of them see her lack of desire as her attempting to "punish" him.

I've always found it odd how if I am in a state of frustration and despair and misery because of how my partner's treating me, I can be expected to be feeling happy and sexual at the same time? How is that even supposed to work? But to such men, I guess a woman's feelings are just really inconvenient.

Kinda the whole thing of pushing and pushing until she can't deal anymore and pushes back, and then saying, "Whoa! YOU'RE CRAZY." Like how dare any person not enjoy being a doormat and/or punching bag? How is one to respond to being disrespected and used? With a smile and a wave and "Oh, you..."

The situation we already were looped into with this poster tells me he easily disregards the feelings of women and uses them. Apparently he doesn't like it when they fail to appreciate this. He feels no obligation to treat others respectfully, yet feels entitled to complain about it when he feels "disrespect" aimed in his direction.

Starting to think we need a sex robot fund for more than just one of our regulars up in here...

See the stuff in bold you posted?

That's the crap I'm talking about. Trying to start drama by insulting me or putting me down when its not necessary at all. This is the stuff I have no time for.

Yeah?

Why are you no longer dating those people?
