Romeo and Juliet

So a friend of a friend just posted on Facebook. It says, "All I want for my husband and me is to be like Romeo and Juliet, happy forever." I can think of three possible explanations for this.

1) She knows Romeo and Juliet are a famous couple, and assumes their story was happy

2) This is a joke. (Please let it be a joke!)

or

3) This is a cry for help. Somebody get her the suicide hotline number, stat!

  1. Yeah, I don't...I don't think I get it. Or she doesn't.

    I want to be just like King Oedipus--he was a happy guy too, right?

  2. I just had this conversation with a friend. I said there is literally nothing I would want to voluntarily repeat about their story, at least that I can think of off the top of my head
