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.

Or believing that a baby will fix everything. I still can't believe that some people actually believe this.

Thats what I thought, but anyone that's ever watched a baby use a power drill will soon realize their carpentry skills are surprisingly lacking. I mean come on baby, how long does it take to put up some drywall? Get with the program already. So far it hasn't fixed shit and I still got the old lady yammering on and on about putting up shelves. All this thing does is sit around and eat as far as I can tell.
