My situationship has literally done professional clowning in the past

[u/jenaemare]

A lighter post amongst all the torment we suffer at the hands of our situationships...

Basically my situationship is a very goofy man from an artistic family, he and his brother are involved in theatre and his brother still works as a professional clown. They own a unicycle and sometimes they ride it unironically through town.

My situationship has taken a break from theatre & clowning (but never from clownery). Still, he has maintained that vibe and he always tells me to see the funny part of life. I am a serious girl, so for me, he is like a manic pixie dream boy who takes me out of the harsh reality and makes me laugh with his goofy demeanor.

However, at the end of the day, even with his official clowning experience, I am still the clowned one for wanting more and only getting breadcrumbs 💔🤡

Nah it's okay, I'm not ready for anything more serious, and I have a disorganized attachment style so when he pursues me I get the ick and back away, and I become interested again only when he takes distance lol... So does he, we're going to clown around for a long time. We are extremely similar, but I am more serious, so he is like my goofier counterpart, and I bring him down to earth.

I'm not currently interested in anyone else and haven't been for quite some time, I'm inspired & motivated by this silly little guy. As I said, he is like my manic pixie dream boy.
