Do happy romances exist?

I'm really starting to realize that without:
- communication
- negotiation
- respect
- attraction
- understanding
and other shit like that, a romance can easily go sour during the bad times.

I used to believe in the shoujo style romances, the incredible chemistry between partners shown in romcom movies and bl couples and the thought that "you only truly find yourself when somebody accepts you" which i learnt from fruits basket as a kid growing up alongside it.

But I've learnt... real life is so bloody different lmao!!!!Σ( ￣□￣||)
