Remember Fabio...that extremely handsome (maybe to some, not all), long haired, Italian model that graced many romance novel covers in the 90's? If you don't remember him in those times, you would probably remember him in "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercials.
I remember my mom used to read some of his novels along with other cheesy romance novels about Scottish Highlanders romancing unsuspecting red headed beauties. Sometimes, my mom would read excerpts from these books to me and I was like 10...LOL. My mom is bipolar, so, she's always been a bit crazy!
So, anyways, I didn't think much of it then, but it's kinda hitting me now that I have an idealized view of love and relationships. Like, there should be a ton of passion and fireworks right when you look into another's eyes, and the sex has to be out of this world and all the sudden you have all the stamina in the world to last days. All that junk. It's not realistic in a relationship. I believe it would do well for things to progress slowly so a bond is formed. This is something I need to get in my 34 year old brain, because obviously from examining my relationships in the past, most of them were short lived, except when I got married when I was 20. I was married for 2 years so that was a long term relationship which was a big deal for me at that time.
I gotta learn to take things slow and I was just joking...it's not Fabio's fault for my shitty life choices lol.
