I don't understand the use of the word Platonic in the title. The couple described doesn't seem to match either the ancient or the contemporary definition of Platonic love.
- visarga 6y agoYep, platonic is love without sex, this is parenting without spouse love.
- hutzlibu 6y agoIt is parenting without sex, though.
- evancox100 6y agoExcept the couple conceived naturally
- hutzlibu 6y agoYeah. After the women had to get drunk to bring herself to do it. And it was not parenting then. Parenting comes later. And this seems to be without sex by design. (even though I would assume it still happens with some "couples")
- panzagl 6y agoNah, that's regular parenting.
- andrewmcwatters 6y agolmao...
- AstralStorm 6y agoYes, there's nothing platonic in this, it's a standard arranged marriage. Unless there's no marriage involved but there better be some legal arrangement or things can go south really quick with becoming a single parent.
- ck425 6y agoA more accurate term would be 'not necessarily romantic' but that doesn't make a catchy title.
