Dear Coon:

My answer to your question: “Is it possible to somehow ‘level up’ with your own growth so much that it simply kills the need for romantic long-term relationships?“-

Yes and no:

Yes in that if you heal enough you no longer expect salvation/ euphoria/magic/ happily-ever-after existence via a romantic relationship. You … know better. For a person having had that expectation, losing this expectation is involved with losing the motivation, the desire, the draw, often.. the compulsion.

No in that no matter how much you heal you are still human, and so, you still need connections to others. For those having had the expectation I stated above, and then losing it, there is a new perception of romance and romantic love available, and for you, perhaps, to be yet discovered.
