Has anyone found their real life Rowan/Rhysand?
I know there are components to these relationships that are either extreme/unrealistic, however SJM made me believe in love again. I think she helped many woman realize that raising your standards could bring about VERY meaningful and fulfilling experiences with the right partner. Of course you won't be conquering an entire court/kingdom together, but having this person that is your ROCK the way these characters do leads me to believe that it HAS to be real.
The relationships portrayed in SJM stories also do a great job at highlighting imperfections and flaws within each character and their dynamic, so I don't find them entirely unrealistic. It's made me value the possibility in finding someone who is your equal in every way; someone that truly understands you and who you work well with in all aspects. Although I have yet to experience it, I'm excited about possibly doing so.
HOWEVER, I want to hear if anyone on the sub has had the experience/wants to share. :)))
