Ok, so these past few days have been pretty rough for me, so I might be being overly sensitive, but I got to thinking about a few things? I hope I don't come off as whiny

I've seen relationships that are great and loving and I know they're great and they almost make me want to date except for the sex thing.
I've also seen relationships that are, indeed, toxic, and it doesn't take an expert to tell that something very unhealthy is going on. For example, if one person is enabling someone else's self-detructive behavior, that's bad - like if one party is an alcoholic, and the other party buys them alcohol when they run out, or covers for them if they're drunk or hung over. Or if people are breaking up and getting back together every week, putting yourself on that kind of emotional rollercoaster isn't healthy no matter the cause.
Like, most relationships (even non-sexual or non-dating ones) have a few minor snags or areas where they're not as healthy as they could be, because nobody's perfect. Seeing super-super-awesome relationships with no negative aspects at all is unusual, so if that's the ideal you're looking for, then you won't see it frequently. But if you define a good relationship as one that's beneficial to both parties, then there's plenty of those to go around.
