Everybody wants this

Nobody wants this has been the recent rage all over the internet about healthy relationships, and I decided to get on the bandwagon to review it, and see why everybody wants this.

Dude is a Rabbi. Dude opens the car door for the girl everytime. Dude makes an effort to make time for her all the time. Dude doesn’t hesitate to show up at her doorstep after a really passionate kiss, (not in a creepy way), but in a “I couldn’t help it but run to see you” way. I bet a therapist wrote all the dialogues for his role in this show. I mean who says things like — “It’d kill me to hurt you”, “ I am on your side”. Ofcourse he comes with his own baggage, orthodox family, smoking hot ex girlfriend who will make you insecure to the bones, and above all, the religion itself is the profession. Dude is a Rabbi! Albeit a hot one.

It definitely feels like dating outside your type right? Aren’t we all rooting for an emotionally unavailable 6'5 blue eyed finance guy? So this guy was totally out of the syllabus. Our female lead feels predictable for the most of it : the empowered feminist, short blonde mean boss lady but also likable, troubled relationship with father, a comforting friend group, and a doting sister to share the troubles with, while being the big sister who can connect the microphone. Hmm, predictable or relatable?

Another character I loved outside of this love story was Sasha. Rabbi’s brother. A chill guy, who keeps up with a controlling wife, who can also be the problem solving father when the situation demands. Real cutie.

Since I have never even remotely experienced a healthy relationship, this whole show was unrealistic for me. But in my favour, I always dig unrealistic things, hopeless romanticism gets the best of me. So I wonder finding a guy like this will ever be a real life possibility, who will always keep you at ease, who will always hear you, who will comfort you, who will kiss you so good that you might get pregnant, who will introduce to friends and family, who wants to make a good impression on your parents, I mean, he had me at opening the car door already.

The only real thing about this show was how it ended on the cliffhanger. Is it really that easy to have it all in life? To brave every obstacle, to make those difficult choices, to make life changing compromises, all for that one person you want to be with. For starters, how do you even find someone like that, who makes you drop everything and just make you run to them?

I don’t know. I clearly don’t have the data. But that’s something everybody wants in life. Anyone who says otherwise, is lying. Everybody deserves a healthy relationship, atleast memories that will remain fond, even if you don’t end up together.

I recommend you to keep the hot rabbi as your yardstick when you see yourself getting emotionally invested. Anything below that is, what do I say, meh, repeating your old patterns I guess. May the universe bless us all with healthy relationships and take the Xanax out of our lives.

L’Chaim! May we all find someone who’s worth the wait and keeps the challah warm ❤
