Trying to get over someone is like trying to forget the words to your favourite song….

Relationships never cease to confound me. They are THE most confusing things around! 


I blame fairytales and Disney for properly screwing up us girls. 

The way we view relationships is totally skewed from childhood.

   
This is how a Disney relationship works:

STEP 1: 

There is ONE Prince charming (How does Disney account for my 50 odd not-so-prince charmings??? Huh? Huh? Huh?)

STEP 2:

Prince charming falls in love with the girl despite the fact that she has one or many flaws. For example:

1. Jasmine – Dresses like a hooker 
2. Sleeping Beauty– Narcoleptic 
3. Cinderella – Broke Ass Domestic    Worker/Gold digger
4. Ariel – Not even of the same species (and a ginger might I add)
5. Snow White – shacked up with SEVEN  other men

The list goes on…. 

STEP 3: 

Add 1 x Evil villain who is overcome by said Prince Charming 

STEP 4: 

HAPPILY EVER AFTER

REAL LIFE DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY…..

Disney movies fail to enlighten us of the following phenomena which are characteristic of a number of Not-So-Prince Charming’s I have encountered:

1. Cheating
2. Lying
3. Emotional unavailability
4. Selfishness
5. Possessiveness
6. Clingyness
7. Disinterest
8. Commitment –Phobia
9. Homosexuality (oh yes…it's happened to me!!)
10. General douche-baggy behaviour

Does this mean that there is no hope for us girls? Hmmmm…possibly!!!!! O_o

Ariel's prince didn't tell her he couldn't 'do long distance' despite the fact that she lived underwater.


We have never heard Aladdin tell Jasmine that he is 'just not that into her'.


Snow White's Prince didn't drunken score some other Disney princess.


And Cinderella's man didn't run off because he was into men.....

SO WHAT IS THE REALITY??

I think the best thing we can hope for is a Prince Quite-Charming with not too many flaws (or with flaws we can learn to love or accept) who is prepared to put up with our flaws (irrationality, blind rage, crying etc…) who we can live sort of happily with for as long as possible.
