Yeah, that's true. I don't really mind reading about the One True Love, except insomuch as I find it a somewhat disturbing way of reflecting Real Life.
(Perhaps I'll rant about this in the context of YA novels someday-- in adult fiction, like the Hobb and Baker I referenced in the post, I mind less because presumably adults can figure out things for themselves, but it presses all my rage buttons when a YA novel supports what I consider an unhealthy mindset.)
