Why do heterosexual relationships create trouble, and is this a new phenomenon or has it always been the case?

definition
"Heterosexual relationships are a dance of opposites, where the very differences that attract us also create the turmoil; this struggle is as ancient as humanity itself."
According to Osho, heterosexual love is troublesome precisely because it unites opposite polarities—man and woman—who are drawn together by difference yet speak different inner ‘languages’ (logic/illogic, left/right brain, far/near). This creates cyclic closeness and distance and unconscious power struggles (muscle versus tears). And it isn’t new; it’s intrinsic, biological, as old as Adam and Eve.
Boys and girls are very different, so they like each other but often don’t understand each other, which makes fights normal and very old—not a new problem.
Why this matters practically
- Expect waves of closeness and space; don’t panic when distance appears.
- Communicate across different ‘languages’ with patience, humor, and empathy instead of trying to dominate.
- Notice unconscious power games and choose awareness to reduce conflict.
