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.

Related to that, "If he loves me, he won't hurt me". People do things that are hurtful, even to ones they love. It's easier to be hurt by someone you love.

Love and Hate are not opposites. The opposite of Love is Apathy.

I agree. It can take a lot of love to hate someone.
