We’re immersed in a media crazy culture. Could this be affecting our romantic relationships? The Taylor & Francis group reported on a study that suggests that the answer is yes:

• Individuals who think that television portrayals of romance are realistic are less likely to be committed to their own relationships.
• This also affected how they viewed the ‘cost’ – or the lost time and freedom – of the relationship. Those who believe in TV romances believe that the cost of their relationship is high.
• This is concerning because several of the most popular TV shows this year have had important romantic threads.
