  • Is it just me, or is it starting to feel like romantic love is just an illusion?

  • It's not real.

  • It's in our imaginations.

  • It's just all a dream.

  • And once we wake up, it's all over.

  • We don't want to wake up from this dream, but we have to eventually.

  • Romantic love is just an illusion.

  • If you're in love romantically, it's because you're delusional.

  • Wake up.

  • Is it just me, or is it starting to feel that way?

  • Listen, I'm not trying to be a pessimist at all.

  • In fact, I'm actually in a really good mood today.

  • It's Friday when I'm recording this TGif.

  • So I'm actually in a really good mood.

  • But I'm just being real, okay?

  • At least in my silly little brain, it's starting to feel like romantic love is not a real thing, okay?

  • And I'm not just saying this with no statistics to back it up.

  • According to the American Psychological association, approximately 40% to 50% of first marriages end in divorce.

  • The divorce rate for second marriages is even higher, with approximately 60% to 67% of second marriages ending in divorce.

  • Beyond that statistic, though, it just feels like romantic love is destined to fail.
