Disillusionment in love

The collision between who you imagined your partner to be and who they actually are—their flaws, their limits, their ordinariness—can feel like betrayal, but it's actually the point where real love becomes possible. Moving through disillusionment to see someone clearly and choose them anyway is the maturation of love.
