Romance movies are great. The protagonist has a self realization that he or she is madly in love and drops everything to be with that person, they make out passionately forever and the screen fades, the end. Everyone leaves the theater a little happier. But there is something that I recently learned about Romance movies and that is that they are full of it.
In the real world, there is no fade to black. There is a story after all the kissing and it isn't always good. Lets say our protagonist had a girlfriend of 2 years, meets a different girl and his self realization is that he is in love with the other girl. Sure for the guy and the new girl its perfect at the time but after words, There is nothing in it but hurt feelings. Movies like to coat the fact that there is still that girlfriend in the picture, and he is still going to have to break her heart. He is going to loose a lot of friends, and there will be a lot of tears. The sad truth is, it takes longer than a long passionate kiss for things to start to get better. The breakup process is brutal, for all parties, and no matter who you are it will always hurt.
Don't believe what the movies are telling you
