In the fairy tales a girl is always struggling with typical life situations until her prince charming shows up and of course he's the spitting image of all she ever dreamed of.  He's sweet, charming, agreeable, madly in love with her, rides a fantastic horse, dresses nice, and is of course, dreadfully handsome, right?  Then he sweeps her off her feet and they "live happily ever after".

What no one ever tells you about is that he had poor communication skills, he smelled funny a lot of the time, he didn't really care that much about her interests or her life goals or dreams, complained about her annoying habits and he just kept her around out of convenience perhaps.  When they got hitched they were all twitterpated and didn't know each other that well... heck, some people date four years and still don't know each other well enough.  Then a few months, a couple years down the road she wakes up and wonders what could have been had she not let those raging hormones think for her.
