[@Vilageidiotx] Define terrible then, if everyone does it...

And I mean, there's no real way to keep writing a "healthy relationship" because it's inherently boring. Basing your own romantic life off of the things you read in books, which are designed to be filled with danger, tension, and drama, is just something dumb people do.

Since there will always be dumb people, and they are impossible to change, you can only really hope to point out the flaws in these things so loudly and convincingly that others stop trying to emulate them.
