An early Sunday morning thought...



I’ve been thinking about stuff writers think about – love, romance, finding the one – all that stuff and in theory I believe is most likely correct yet when I look around me at the people in relationships who aren’t happy – and no, I don’t expect everyone to be deliriously happy - I wonder, after talking to them, how many are at least content and not just staying together through habit? This makes me wonder if romance books are modelled on real life or are they made to be a ideal of what people want to feel they need so women read them thinking  ‘if only’ or 'I will hunt me down a man and I will be happy damn it.'  Are writers then perpetuating an unrealistic myth and does romance really exist or if it something that can be bought for $3.99 and is used in lieu of taking happy pills?
 
Just a thought...

I believe there are marriages where folks stay together that aren't that happy; there are marriages where folks are moderately happy; and in rare cases I see soul mates. And they truly belong together.
