Thank you very much. It came to me quickly and is a combination of rules people set for themselves, rules for others, and a few odd scraps. I guess it is a metaphor of a relationship culminating with the fact that there will be many dissappoinments along the way, but in the end, love conquers all.

Thanks so much! I guess in every relationship there are expectations and disappointments. It is the strength of love that pulls us through. It is always only "the fantasy" that is perfect, never reality.
