Why Does No One Change the Incorrect Relationship Narrative?

Oh yeah, I've heard that song.  But we all know that your cousin carl can accomplish anything he sets his mind to, so if he goes to college and works hard, he'll get a great job and be successful someday.  If he works hard enough, he might even become President!  

Right?  That's the cultural narrative.  

And if you're cryin' over someone, don't worry, because it just means they weren't "the one," and if you don't give up, you'll find "the one," and then you'll find true love!

Right?  That's the cultural narrative.

This is really what I'm asking here.  If everyone knows that this narrative is garbage, why do people continue to perpetuate it?
