I suppose it can feel like a fine line, sometimes, between tolerating a few flaws in one's spouse, and settling for second best. But I hope you're not having second thoughts about your choice...

Disinfo Agent, it would be a matter of second best if there was a number 1 but in reality, I don't know anyone who found the one that fits their ideal partner to a degree. And, no this came about over a discussion I had with a friend over the phone, I had recently seen a program on the science of love and he, at the moment, is taking a class that is discussing the biology of human emotions. It was perfect timing for the call. I'm a she, btw, not a he.

Anyone blaming Hollywood for our current ideals of romance really needs to read their Austen . . . or their Shakespeare. Probably their Chaucer. Or their Greek mythology.

Gillianren, I did say love stories first, it's just that Hollywood is the main outlet, nowadays. Even in school, after reading an ancient Greek Poem, you get to see Hollywoods perception. Love stories was just a broad description of everything from the first fireside/bedtime story told to everything that has been printed since.
