De-Hollywoodizing Relationships
TestimonyStory★★★★I remember early on in my relationship with Sean, like I grew up on rom-com, romantic comedies. I watched all of those, so many. I watched so many Korean and Asian dramas. And one time I remember Sean was like, basically, he kind of confronted me. He’s like, ‘You know what? Like, I can’t read your thoughts. I can’t say everything you want me to say when you want me to say, I can’t be everywhere with you. You want me to be like, I’m not God.’ And I think that made me realize, like I had a lot of unhealthy expectations on what the relationship should look like or feel like. And the reality is, you know, life, it’s not like a movie.
