(11,785 posts)and people are foolish enough to think that's how things are supposed to be. I knew a woman, totally perplexed by her wreck of a marriage, lament that she thought "things would be like they are in Heinlein novels". I shit you not.
Just think about how many "romantic comedies" there are where the couple begins their relationship by fighting and hating each other's guts, but then they can't resist that magnetic attraction of luuuuuuv. Never does it occur to them, "Geez, we fight all the time, maybe we aren't suited for each other," or "Geez, we fight all the time, maybe we don't have the first clue about how to have a good relationship." In the movies, they paper over the cracks with sex, and we're supposed to assume that will work, long-term, in real life.
