10 TV Couples That Created Unrealistic Expectations About Relationships

By Audrey Fox /

9. Snow White/Charming - Once Upon A Time

These two are the prototypical couple that has ruined everything for modern relationships. Even his name represents an unattainable ideal that women will spend their entire lives trying in vain to find, and men will desperately try to live up to his impossible standard. And the version that's featured on Once Upon A Time is even worse, because it's not just two cartoon people that you can kind of just chalk up to Disney being Disney, these are actual flesh and blood humans. And they still manage to be perfect. They're both super attractive, and even though they have some obstacles in their way, everything still magically turns out perfect for them. Even their fights are Disneyfied - they pretty much just argue over who loves each other more and stuff like that. Snow White and Charming somehow manage to have a fairy tale romance in two different universes: once in the Enchanted Forest, which can at least be excused because that's where all the fairy tales happen, after all, and once in the real world. That just doesn't seem fair. Share the wealth, people.
