According to www.buzzsugar.com today --- romantic comedies are ruining people's marriages!!! For me personally, I can now see how I have sabbotaged my husband after watching these kinds of movies. After watching the NOTEBOOK for example I immediately wondered why my life wasnt as equal. I have 3 kids, and a job, and a really busy life!!!! How dumb! I guess I was expecting Brad to turn a pumkin in to a beautiful carriage and drive me off into the sunset while the bluebirds chirped on my shoulder. HA HA HA. I am so glad I read this article today. Maybe it will hit home with you too. I think in the future I will stick to CSI and cartoons. Here is the article :
According to relationship experts at Heriot Watt University in Edinburgh, romantic comedies give people unrealistic ideas about love and sex, and cause them to "fail to communicate with their partner." Here's more:
Psychologists at the family and personal relationships laboratory at the university studied 40 top box office hits between 1995 and 2005, and identified common themes which they believed were unrealistic.
The university's Dr Bjarne Holmes said: "Marriage counselors often see couples who believe that sex should always be perfect, and if someone is meant to be with you then they will know what you want without you needing to communicate it. We now have some emerging evidence that suggests popular media play a role in perpetuating these ideas in people's minds. The problem is that while most of us know that the idea of a perfect relationship is unrealistic, some of us are still more influenced by media portrayals than we realize."
