I love it when people who met the person they later got married happily to when they were young. I also love it when they think they're going to be happy forever and it doesn't work out, or when people don't meet the person they later got married happily to for a long time. I have read great examples of both types of couples.

On the other hand, in some stories marrying your childhood sweetheart can be written as boring, forced, and unrealistic. And in some stories, your childhood sweetheart not working out can come across as obnoxious, aggressively cynical, and condescending or offensive towards people who did meet a person they were happy with early.

It entirely depends on whether the relationship is written believably and interestingly or feels forced by a narrow-minded agenda of the author's.

I really don't get why everyone's obliged to have one type of story they like and therefore automatically dislike the opposite.

Part of it is because of how I saw it play out in real life. I just suspend my disbelief that much. Mermaids, vampires, time travel, that's all good. Meeting the love of your life at 18 or younger? Sorry, that's a no-go.

[intrigueing]

I guess that makes sense. I definitely understand the "luridly fantastical=OK, contradictory to what you've personally experienced IRL=nope" thing, although I can't think of any examples of my own.

Wonderfully put!
