Expectations In Love.

Movies, books, TV shows, children stories always have this build up of love and relationships. It has us believing the idea all of us women are princess' who will one day find our prince charming. We expect to have a perfect relationship with this perfect person. As we go through life and relationships we soon realize, it is all a lie. That we realize we are not perfect, that other people are not perfect, therefore there is no such thing as a perfect relationship. The movies, books, tv shows and children stories are just all lies an ideal of a perfect relationship we all strive for, all wish we could have but its unattainable. Then we analyze what would categorize a good relationship since our basis of a perfect one was a lie. Here is a quote i wrote a bit ago that i feel fits perfectly. " We have all gone through our moments in life of being young and stupid. We make mistakes, hurt the ones we love, get a little out of hand, and fall in love. It's those moments that in the end make us who we are. At the end of the day what matters is in our hearts. What matters is finding that one person that you can share your life with through all the bullshit and the good times. With time love grows, we grow and we can create our future to be a happy ending." We all do make mistakes, hurt people we love the most and we all have or will royally screw up in our lives. It's life though and we are created to have those faults about ourselves. We have to think though, when is it too much? When is it crossing the live in a relationship? When and how can we look at ourselves and say enough is enough? Love is full of ups and downs and so much passion and emotion to drive us all out of control, and sometimes can drive ourselves to hurt those around us. We don't mean it of course, because the last thing we would want to do is hurt those we love, but sometimes things happen ways we do not expect or want.
We expect the person we love wouldn't hurt us, that they would treat us so amazingly and then get heartbroken when things don't turn out the way we want. Is there the possiblity of fixing things when they go wrong? Or is it something that is just unfixable? Overall, what defines a good relationship? The mistakes, the hurt, the pain, we all do that to others, but does that make a relationship a bad one? Or does the love one person has for another override this?
