So many people say that a relationship is hard work and that hard work reaps it's own rewards yet they never tell you about all the ups and downs of a relationship. When we are kids we dream of finding our Prince Charming and being whisked off our feet to live Happily Ever After. Then we grow up and start dating or if you live in Ireland start texting then meet up after a few weeks and then if ye still like each other you find yourself in a confusing state of are we or are we not a couple.

People never tell us as children that Disney leads to false impressions of love! As a friend once said "Disney is like porn for women" It is the emotional equivalent of porn, it feeds our desire to be loved and rescued. Yes, I admit it women want to be rescued, not in the literal sense but in the sense that we want to be saved from being lonely, though being lonely does not necessarily mean we are alone. Some women are alone in their relationship, they feel lost and abandoned, though we may still care for our partner, we can coast along waiting to be saved.
