You Found Prince Charming. Then You Got Bored.

from Unusual Practice · host Charli | Breaking Illusions

You finally got the calm, consistent love you said you wanted. So why does it feel like nothing?This is Prince Charming Syndrome, and most of what's written about it gets the diagnosis backwards. It's not about being too picky to find him. It's about finding him, and feeling bored.We get into the actual wiring: the "lovemap" a psychologist named John Money says gets built before you're six, why dopamine fires on uncertainty instead of reward, and why a fully self-aware, fully therapized brain can still go flat in front of a genuinely good partner. Chemistry, it turns out, is often just familiarity in a better outfit.If you've ever sat across from someone good for you and felt the itch to manufacture a problem, this is the autopsy. No five-step fix. Just the wiring, exposed.
