That afternoon, I got to thinking about myths and relationships. Heroes, boyfriends, Cyclopses, divorced guys. Are they really that different? The primitive Greeks clung desperately to myths to explain the random hopelessness of their miserable lives. Do modern day singles need modern day myths just to help us get through our random and sometimes miserable relationships? What about Big and me? After what seemed like an eternity of not quite fitting together, we suddenly fit. Had the relationship God smiled? Or was that something I desperately needed to believe? Are we willing to believe anything to date?
— Carrie
