Idk. I can't see myself ever saying that to a person. Like if I was to the point I needed to ask something like that in a relationship it would likely come off as "Fuck you, and everything thing you stand for. I'll drop you off somewhere since I drove us here, but after that you can fuck off and forget I exist."
Except I likely wouldn't word it exactly like that, yet I would 100% be doing what I just described at that point. I don't really get why someone would have to ask if someone else still loves them. Just throw them to the wind at point.

I used to be like that until I realized that if they're still there there has to be some sort of interest. But that's the thing, what's the level of interest, can it be repaired, is she setting up to ghost at a later date?
Its likely a serious question, yes manipulative but everything between couples is manipulative, its the nature of relationships, or maybe its cause I'm a water moon and am manipulative by default.

they ran out of half a dollar cold brews in this convenience store 5 mins away so i go into starbucks and i can't help but overhear this couple arguing. i mean, i'm sure most everyone else heard but like quietly pretending they're not there.
a lot of things were said but what really stood out was when the dude goes:
"but do you still love me?"
i always hear this myself whenever i try to break up with a guy (2 guys in total i've heard this from in my past relationships). and a friend of mine also experienced that same question from a dude.
is this low key manipulative? or is it like genuine? coz when i think about it, what purpose does it even serve in terms of conflict resolution overall? most times, that's not even the issue. she could've ghosted if there was nothing there hellooooo.
