I was reading a blog today that mentioned something about love like in the movies. And you know what? I think more of us think about more than we care to admit. The relationships you see in the movies: never having enough of each other, the constantly passionate, sexy relationships... are they real? Or is my type of relationship real? The type where we aren't constantly passionate, we argue, we get sick of each other, but at the end of the day, we really truly love each other and are there to support each other.
Sometimes I wonder if relationships could ever really be like the movies? Or do these movies give us a false notion of what "love" really is, making us want something more than what we have, when really, it's unattainable.
An analogy I heard before has already really stuck with me, the 80/20 principle. Your partner provides you with 80% of everything you could want, however, someone else is capable of giving you the other 20%, but only that 20%....
So, really is the grass ever greener on the other side? Or do many people just believe that? I don't think it is greener on the other side. My relationship may not be like those in the movies and may not be perfect 100% of the time, but that's okay. Because of the end of the day, my relationship is perfect for me.

It's like, the grass is always greener on the other side. - See more
