okay, hear me out!
we (esp women) are told fairy tales during our childhoods about true love & knights in shining armor that come to the rescue and of living happily ever after, with little or no effort--esp from the "damsel" if you notice, prince charming always has to overcome some type of obstacle (not a realistic one, but something)...
so do you think this unattainable goal that we've had instilled in us since childhood (effortlessly happily ever after) has anything to do with being dissatisfied with marriage or relationships in general? i know, it's just a fairy tale... but at some point it was a dream for most little girls, a dream we have to wake up from if we hope to have a genuine relationship.
maybe some don't truly wake up from this dream?
maybe some truly think that "true love" from "prince charming" will come & sweep them away & "rescue them", & without any effort on their part, they will "live happily ever after"?
