with the idea of being in love?
Unfortunately, it is actually quite common.

with the white picket fence.
They choose the colors for the nursery.
They design all the aspects of their married life.
A real person stands no chance of measuring up to those fantasies.

Troubles only appear troubling to those close to them.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
