Disney has a lot to answer for. Fairy tales used to be truly disturbing –just Google the Grimm brothers or Hans Christian Anderson’s stories and you’ll get the idea –but in a way ‘happily ever after’ is even worse. Generations have grown up with expectations that often go unfulfilled. Sister Wives ask what happens if you don’t get your happily ever after, and what is ‘happy ever after’anyway?
