it's not just familiarity that breeds contempt for love stories. It may be actually getting harder to get people to believe in them... because our expectations have changed. If you write a story about a soldier going AWOL and kidnapping a pregnant woman and finally shooting her in the head, it's called searingly realistic, even though it's never happened in the history of mankind. Whereas if you write about two people falling in love, which happens about a million times a day all over the world.. you're accused of writing something unrealistic and sentimental....
And it's not just happily-ever-after that has changed. the global nature of dating - the access to a limitless pool of mates just a click away - means that people feel they hardly need to overcome difficulties in relationships. If the whole getting together thing proves too hard, they can just move on. Juliet's a Caulet? bummer. Back to facebook.
Finding a soul mate is no longer a determined steeplechase over every obstacle.
