Romantic life is not fair:
You
rarely (almost never) marry the love of your life. Someone else gets the girl
(or guy) of your dreams. We never seem to get what we deserve, and we rarely
deserve what we get. On top of this unfair truth comes the almost mean-spirited
design of romance that makes the most dangerous and exciting qualities for
sexual attraction the exact worst qualities for long-term parenting
partnerships. ~ Stephen T.
