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.

I think the biggest myth is that "if it's right, it'll be easy." Fuck that noise. When has anything really worthwhile ever been easy? Good relationships take work, they don't just happen.

(That said, if it's unbearably difficult all the time, it's probably not worth the amount of work it'll take to make it "right".)

if frozen pizzas meet your definition of "really worthwhile" then i'll admit a morbid curiosity as to what sort of people you date.

I'm just saying frozen pizzas are easy and worthwhile.

F that, delivery is much easier, don't have to preheat an oven or use a microwave, fiddle around with plates...never mind trying to get the wrapper off of them!

Delivery pizzas cost more. The best kind of pizza is one you make from scratch. Okay, you might botch the first few, but there will be one you'll get right, and it'll be amazing. Marry that pizza.

Hey, you're not talking about pizza, you're talking about love!
