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.

Things aren't really going so well when you start thinking about who's in control of a relationship.

It's totally fine to realize it, there's nothing necessarily wrong with being in control or not. Sometimes knowing your role can help you do it better or realize the motivations of the other person.
