Quote by Dan Savage

Women can go on marrying and pretending that their boyfriends and husbands are Mr. Darcy or some RomCom dream man. But where's that going to get 'em? Besides divorce court?

Women can go on marrying and pretending that their boyfriend

Summary

This quote suggests that many women, in their desire for a perfect romantic partner, often ignore the reality of their relationships. They idealize their boyfriends or husbands as fictional characters like Mr. Darcy from Jane Austen's novel or the portrayed dreamy men in Romantic Comedies. However, the quote implies that indulging in such illusions will only lead them to disappointment and ultimately divorce. It serves as a cautionary reminder to not set unrealistic expectations in relationships and to face the truth rather than chasing an elusive fantasy.
