The Absurd in Relationship

Or, how the futility of existence manifests in the realm of love and intimacy.

A treatise on the inevitable descent into madness that occurs when two people attempt to coexist in a state of mutual incomprehension.

Key tenets of absurdist relationship theory include:

• The futility of communication, where words become a series of random noises
• The inevitability of conflict, where two opposing forces collide in a maelstrom of frustration
• The crushing weight of emotional baggage, where the past and present converge in a vortex of unrequited expectations
• The absurdity of commitment, where two people promise to love each other until the end of time, despite all evidence to the contrary
