Clichés

People who are not in a relationship have too many fantasies about love. Expectations, expectations. It sickens me.

I don't believe it's true when they say you don't have to change for the person you love. It sounds awfully romantic that you want to rub it in your partner's face but the universe doesn't permit it to go that way. Apparently, most couples break up for the same reason. I can only imagine how the cliche "I deserve someone who will love me for who I really am" caused a falling out or put an end to a relationship on queue. It's a bit loopy when you get trapped in that love bubble and think that you can be yourself and still be loved. Sure enough you can still be loved, but that won't keep him from wanting to change you at some point. On the flip side of the coin, there's a near certainty that you also want to change his faults. As you grow up  together, adjusting for the other becomes inevitable. Even if it's a unilateral decision, if you want to stick together, it has to be done. Sometimes it's not about acceptance anymore, it's about sacrifices.

"No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry". Well actually, you don't always spend idle moments fantasizing about your future, some are spent with streaming tears in the shower or sobbing under your pillow wondering if you could still go on. But that doesn't mean you have a bad relationship, it's just to show that everything goes through a rough patch even for seemingly perfect couples. Happily married women may have cried a million tears so I think this is ludicrous.   

I have much to say, but you probably get the point. Reality check, people.
