Even though i'm not married, I can completely relate with this because it cuts across board.
Super models on magazine covers show us how a beautiful woman should look and that anything other than that is trash. Even the movies and tv shows emphasize this. There's always a guy that looks some type of way and must be bullied.
Not many people can continue to remind themselves that all they see is just "make believe".
It's a popular joke that "even the super model on the magazine cover doesn't look that way outside the magazine cover.
Gone are the days whenever parents were role models to their kids. These days, kids want to be Superman. They see Brangelina and shout "goals" (I wonder what ha she happened to their "goals" now).
It's difficult to not get caught in this web but it's doable.

Thanks for your response. It is extremely difficult not to compare ourselves to others. Doing so is harmful to ourselves and our relationships.
YES!
I hope more people recognize this.
This also affects some superstars as they try to live up to their own hype. Then they get into drugs and all sort. Trying to remain "Mr Superman" or "Mr always active".
