Personally, I don’t need romantic, I just absolutely do not want to end up in a relationship that’s effectively entrenched warfare. Both parties having the option of leaving, keeps one another on their toes to make the relationship work. And if it still does not work, then leaving is absolutely a form of conflict resolution. Yes, that comes with concessions, but I deem the alternative too risky to even consider.
No matter what kind of relationship you are in, both parties always have the option of leaving. Wearing a ring doesn’t change it. Getting married doesn’t change it. Signing a document doesn’t change it.
Ceremonies and legal documents can make leaving more difficult - because it creates a risk of social or financial punishment; but whether that’s a good thing is subjective. The people in this comic are of the view that they should only stay together if they both continue to be happy with their relationship. And I think that’s a fair enough perspective. No one wants to be stuck in an unhappy relationship, right?
