I've never hated Keiko but I do hate Keiko and Miles as a couple. And I really don’t buy the defense that “they’re just a normal married couple.”
They have nothing in common. Our introduction to them is Miles complaining about having to eat Japanese food when he’d rather be having corned beef and cabbage. That’s not playful banter...that’s incompatibility. It honestly makes you wonder if this was an arranged marriage, or if they skipped the entire “dating and discovering shared interests” phase and went straight to vows.
They don’t enjoy the same things. They don’t relax the same way. They don’t even seem to like being around each other unless the script requires it. Their communication style is passive-aggressive sniping, long silences, ultimatums disguised as reasonable requests. And when things get patched up, the resolution is almost always just “I love you,” with zero actual growth or change. Love isn’t a reset button.
There are multiple episodes that make this worse, not better. Keiko taking a job on Bajor and basically telling Miles to deal with it. Miles constantly confiding in Bashir instead of his wife.
What really bugs me is that we’re told they’re a healthy, realistic couple, but this is two people who would have never gotten married....orwould be divorced if this weren’t Star Trek. There’s no shared joy. Very few moments where you think, “Yes, these people genuinely make each other better.” They wouldn't have got married if data hadn't given Keiko a pep talk...and even that came off as 'this is a logical next step' , not 'you guys were meant for each other.'
I am married by the way... IMHO, Miles and Keiko feel like a married couple written by someone who has never actually been married....someone who thinks marriage is mostly low-grade misery with occasional 'i love yous', rather than partnership, compromise, and shared love of the same hobbies
, interests or goals.

I kind of agree. I don't mind a portrayal of a couple with less commonalities, as I think that is more common than people realize, but there almost seems to be no commonality whatsoever.

>only thing for her to do is be an elementary school teacher
Everyone talks about Miles suffering, but holy fuck she gave up everything she had to go be nothing for him and he didn't appreciate her enough.

Sounds like me and my gf. Im white and shes Indian and she believes im her soulmate even though we struggle to find anything in common. All she wants to do is have sex and be idolized as a princess and all I want to do is work on my art and finish building the deck in my yard.
We fight every day because she is borderline bpd and thinks that If I dont say a certain word or forget to do something it means I dont love her and that I;m cheating on her with someone else.
When i ask her why she stays with me she says in her past life she was a bad person and has to suffer through this life so her next life is better.
Her parents had an arraged marriage and they married before they even knew that much about each other, and to this day their marriage still isnt great
So OP, you may be right, or it may be that the writers expericed dating a BPD or narcisstic woman who always felt that they had to do things 100% right or else it didnt count and it wasnt love.

anytime I see this tramp stream on twitch I hop in and after 10 seconds flat I'm out - this bitch is the most annoying, unfunniest, bipolar retard I've ever seen. And you can tell everyone is chatting because they think she's hot when in reality she just holds her cat up for content and laughs at her own fart jokes until she cant breathe

that's most boomers though. especially the nerdy boomers who married someone they settled for as opposed to someone they truly wanted.

Mylittehugot, a beautiful babe who made three 10/10 deepthroat vids, then was promptly doxed by moronic anons so now we will never get to see her producing more and inevitably going more fithy and extreme over the years.

That's normal for an interracial relationship? You can tell Reddit wrote it because the most basic shit normal people can manage together is somehow a fundamental incompatibility. My wife always makes stir fry and wastes ALL my eggs. But I still tell her wǒ ài nǐ, lǎopó and we do the washing up and drying together even though we have a dishwasher like it's the most important thing we do.
Not to say that they had a good relationship but the show had terribly romance generally and that's fine because it's sci-fi, not Miles and Keiko bond over Cardie livelink.

I think they're written to be miserable together. That's what I imagine an Irish-Japanese marriage to be like.

Doxxing is much more common than in the past and it needs dealing with. I remember when it was viewed as one of the most extreme things you could do online that everyone would hate you for but it seems like every fucker these days is trying to connect everything you've ever written or done online with irl.
Reddit has been a disaster for the internet. Back in the 00s you could tell who was getting into it on forums because they started to argue by going through post histories.

I did this by accident on /co/ a decade ago where a storyboarder on a cartoon drew art of his OC being romantic with one of the characters and while 90% of the art was show style, one anatomical feature was unique to his own style in a then-popular comic he drew and I stupidly announced HEY IT'S THAT GUY followed by the board deciding the OC was him or his self-insert (both untrue, it was just an exercise). That followed him around for years and made him seem like a creep. I've apologized to him more times than I can count. A little learning is a dangerous thing.

There was a big tit model I used to blow loads to regularly and when she started her own website I had a reason to correspond with her unrelated to gooning, we struck up a friendship (friend friend, not "I hope this goes somewhere") and suddenly I couldn't fap to her any longer.
She got married, left the country and the internet. Luckily for her she shares the same name as someone famous, so searching it never gets you her.

(The reason I contacted her was she hadn't bought her domain using identity protection so her legal name was on the domain record. Turned out she had gone to college right next to where I went to prep school, we compared notes on the area and she told me she was doing porn to pay for graduate school getting an M.Ed.)

op is a gayfag.
My wife loves cooking quinoa and boiled chicken. I dont eat that garbage. So she doesn't cook it when Im eating at home.
We went on a cruise for our honeymoon and learned we dont want to do any of the same things on a boat. So I did some of her stuff and she did some of mine, we both vetoed activities.
At the end of the day we fuck like rabbits. Also before breakfast. Also around lunch time. You're a retard if you think couples need to be the same person. If I wanted someone with all my interests Id be a gayfag op.
