It's your ideal, maybe. It's not mine. I can't relate to it at all. I can't empathize with the characters. It pulls me right out of the story, especially when it happens en masse.

Think for a second about some type of romantic relationship that you don't really get. Like, you know it must work for some people, because you've seen it with a few couples and they seem really happy, but you cannot fathom how anyone could be happy like that, and you know you couldn't be. If you can, think of a type of relationship that squicks you a little when you try to think of yourself having one. Now imagine that this type of relationship is the only type of relationship portrayed as real and ideal love in mainstream media. Imagine that there are books and movies where every single character ends up in a relationship like that, and that's supposed to be a happy ending. Imagine that there are people who genuinely seem to believe that this is the only true and right way to be in love.

Do you get where those of us who are frustrated are coming from, now?
