A lot of men and women have unrealistic fantasies and expectations. It's not just women pining for "prince charming".
Sadiyah, I'm with you on this one. I've never had any unrealistic fantasies or expectations. No such thing as a "knight in shining armour" just like there's no such thing as a "dream girl/Bollywood princess".
Isn't there a hadith that says that one only really knows a person unless they spend 3 days with him/her? That's one of the reasons why people appear to "change" after marriage...really, they could just be acting like themselves because they don't have to be on their best behaviour...also, the responsibilities really hit you once you're married and it takes time to get used to it and people react to it differently.
You can't expect your spouse (or for that matter anyone) to be perfect when you know that you yourself aren't.
ok.. expectations.. prince charming.. perfect life.. love... hate... gays... lesbians... what has this thread become?
anyways.. i think the thread is about exptectation of our socities kurian and their vision of a perfect life and how it disappoints them in the end.. (correct me if i am wrong, i just had an exam and have another one in 6 horus)
I think that its perfectly ok to have expectations in ones life.. its something that Allah has built into us.. we expect everything to be certain way and when it doesn't happen so either we adopt the new "change" or we freak out...
as per the expectations of having "prince charming" then i would say its what you define prince charming as... i have been reading cases of "bad husband" here but to tell you the truth i have seen my friends who are married.. before their shadi and after their shaadi.. they haven't stopped loving each other.. they are happy coz they both know when and where to compromise..
(ok if the above makes any sense to you then you are awesome... coz i just had an exam and have another one in 6 hours :( so yeah some of it might not make sense at all and i apologize for that)
