Happily (n)ever After

Did Cinderella and Prince Charming live happily ever after?

Did they learn to compromise?

Did she reprise her role as cleaner and house maid, cleaning up after him?

Did she live happily ever after by ditching his ass and finding true love?

Did they find their soul mates in each other?

Were they content to live with each others’ failings and learn to build each other up?

Did she take her knowledge of house tending and he his knowledge of princedom, combine it and build a life together that was uniquely theirs?

Did they learn how to make each other happy, how best to get the other to smile when life seemed to barrel at them?

Did she marry him just to escape her family?

Did he marry her just to show people that he could slum like the rest of them?

Did they lose themselves along the way?

Does happily ever after exist in real life or is it just ‘the stuff fairy tales are made of’?
