Once upon a time...
I'm not sure which topic to write about today. BR and I discussed a few things yesterday. Here's a run down. 1) I wouldn't discuss my finances with him so to him that means that I'm not in this for the long term. 2) How neither him nor I will talk about our problems with the other. 3) How he really feels about this blog, and 4) whether or not Prince Charming exsists.
Eeny, Meeny, Miny...Eh Moe! .. 4. I have said many a time how nothing and no one is perfect. I don't expect it and I really don't want it because I know that I can't live up to it either. I don't believe in Prince Charming and Happily Ever After. I used to, but I got really tired of looking for something that doesn't exsist. They tell you to write a list of all the qualities you want in the person you're looking for. You have to be exact because you'll get it. I have found that there isn't one person that holds every single one of those qualities. Why, because no one is perfect. That doesn't mean that I'm not a romantic to the utmost extreme. I am. When I'm watching sappy movies or hear lyrics in a song I still think "I want that." It's not out there though. Ever sit there watching a movie and say to yourself "Yeah right, that's stupid. No one would do that." Well, that's why it's a movie. None of it is real. What's real takes communication, compromise, trust (that's earned not just given), patience, honesty, faith, hope, love, and sometimes a bit of work. Nothing in life is easy and handed to you in a glass slipper. It just doesn't work that way. I'm not saying that you have to settle either though. BR always talks about how there are things you decide if you can live with or not. That's what you have to decide. How important is it? Pick your battles right and you can win the war.
What matters to me is that I believe in him, and I believe in what we have. It's better than any Prince Charming or castle in a far away land. It's real.

I agree with your sentiments about romantic films - but I can find them both annoying and inspiring too.
I like the Albert Brennaman character in Hitch (and can quite possibly relate to it too) whilst I’m left seething by the Ben Wrightman character in Fever Pitch.
