Happy endings, or realistic?

I've been an avid reader since I was a kid, I've read a lot of what would probably be considered "Fairy tales" meaning the story no matter how normal it seems really has no basis in reality. I think it may have messed up my perception of the real world. I always expected to have a passionate romance, that we would overcome all odds to be together etc. etc.

The problem is: realistic endings are totally depressing. When no matter how much the couple loves each other they just aren't able to be together and they wind up heartbroken.
Although, happy endings can also be depressing because it sounds so wonderful and it's sad that the world isn't that way.

Maybe I should just watch some mindless television.
