I agree with you.

I blame Hollywood for telling us that if we aren't crazy in love 24 hrs a day then we need to get out of that relationship.

So many people are serial marriers b/c they're in search of the Hollywood movie marriage: and that's not life.

Life is hard.

marriage is hard.

Living with someone is hard.

Co parenting is hard.

It's all work.

And Hollywood tells us that if it doesn't come naturally, leave it and find something else.

SO WRONG.

Loved this post.

I totally get this! I can't tell you how many times I have watched a movie and it influenced me to be unsatisfied with my own life. It's actually a running joke in my family. When I was little and would watch a movie about, say, witches, I wanted to learn witchcraft. If I watched one about a famous jockey, I was determined to race horses (never mind that I am 5'10" and no one would want me racing their horse).

I still do it occasionally. I will watch a movie about an incredibly romantic guy and I will wish Josh would make huge romantic gestures too. I usually just have to step back and be grateful for everything I do have and realize that movies are fiction. People like movies for a reason; because they aren't true. If movies were just documenting real life, no one would want to see them.
