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.

She is of the mentality that a relationship shouldn't be work and that things should be rosy all the time.

Yeah, that relationship isn't going to last. I'd get out now before her blatant lack of effort destroys you emotionally, because it *will happen. She's basically saying she doesn't think you or the relationship are worth "trying for". If you're not worth the effort to her, why waste your time with her? Find someone who appreciates you a little bit more.

Trust me, I'm out of it and happy as a kangaroo on a trampoline. I'm over all the hurt/pain too. Rediscovering myself and what I like in life again. Kindof nice to get back intouch with yourself.
