Obsession, 2026 film.
Heterosexual women are not okay. Probably they never have been. At least, that’s the story I keep reading online, where the worst of the worst tend to mingle. Boyfriends are embarrassing and dating is harder than ever because men won’t commit and do chores. If a woman does marry, her husband might end up hating her, based on the stories that flood Reddit each Mother’s Day. He might try an alpine divorce and leave her to die on a mountaintop. My friends are exhausted by the apps, and for many, the mere act of dating men can still feel like a risk, if only an emotional one.
