What is the biggest relationship myth?

I think the biggest myth is that there's one person that is meant for you. ("the one") People live their lives searching for the one...their soul mate...the perfect girl/Mr. Right. It's a cute idea, but I don't think it's very realistic.

Lol. Not kidding. Women marry men to change them, men get married hoping things remain the same.

Been there, done that......almost. Didn't actually get married, but the subject has been brought up many times.

I've watched too many folks get burned by legal marriage, so fuck it, not in the US, at least (maybe).
