Fiction's different. Fiction would be buggered if it left out the utterly shite relationships, and opera would have no plots if it weren't for adultery. It seems that the healthier and happier a relationship is, the more boring it is to read about. I mean, I find Coriolanus/Aufidius fascinating and distinctly hot, and it's one of the most screwed-up around (tip: anything which is based on hatred and ends with one partner killing the other is Not Doing Well, but it's fantastic theatre). Not to mention Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.
