How friends process idealized parents' relationships together

My friend and I both struggle with the fact that our parents had 'perfect' marriages that we can never measure up to, but lately I've started wondering if those marriages were actually as perfect as we thought or if we just never saw behind the scenes. When I brought this up with her, she got defensive because questioning it feels like betraying her parents' memory.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Questioning inherited ideals can feel like betrayal even when those ideals are creating impossible standards.
