I don’t understand the question. What fairytale? Life? Just generally being an adult?

I'm living it. I think a few ECs are with good women.

Also all women are generally shit. Its persistence and luck

It isn't worth it if you are pretending. There are a lot of ways a relationship can work, but many more where it won't. A relationship with a partner who has what you want in life and is a good friend, support and life companion is certainly superior to a life of being alone. A hard to accept fact is that some relationships are great, but are only great for a period. The difference between an adult fairytale and a child's fairytale is understanding reality, and understanding the effort and pain that comes with the positives, and understanding that you may only be with your partner temporarily and making the most of it. Don't live the fantasy of pretending anything is forever, even your life or your partner's life will end eventually in the best case.

It is not healthy or fulfilling to have an imaginary regard for someone seeing you in a way they do not, but having someone truly loving you, or understanding and appreciating you for who you are including your flaws and weaknesses is a beautiful, comforting feeling. The endgame is obviously to have children and to work as partners with this person to provide the best life and possibilities for your children, not to lock down a partner to be your mummy forever.
