Some of the problem here is in the definition of Romantic destiny.
Definition of Romantic destiny:
Romantic destiny is the belief that relationships are predetermined by fate, often tied to ideas like soulmates or "meant to be" connections that unfold effortlessly without sustained effort.
Research shows that while destiny beliefs can create initial satisfaction, they often lead to passivity and lower long-term relationship success compared to growth beliefs, which emphasize effort and communication.
It doesn't mean romance isn't necessary. In fact romance is necessary in a relationship.
Just the fate part is a wrong presumption. It's impossible to assign a determination on constantly changing situations.
Everything changes. And why I say life itself is change.
So what it's saying is those who believe in fate tend to ghost or block.
Predetermination is a fallacy over all.
Often those who are religious do believe in predetermination.
Romantic destiny should not be confused with romance itself. Romance can be vital to a relationship, but it does not prove that two people were predetermined to be together. Relationships unfold within changing circumstances and require ongoing choice, communication, adaptation, and effort.
Destiny beliefs may cause people to view compatibility as fixed: a relationship is either “meant to be” or it is not. When problems arise, such people may interpret them as evidence that the relationship was never right, making withdrawal, ghosting, or blocking seem more justified.
Growth beliefs, by contrast, emphasize that intimacy and compatibility can develop through mutual effort.
This does not mean every relationship can or should be saved; it means that its future is not established by fate alone.
