It is not bad, the problem is that you are trying to make it unidirectional
in the wrong direction. The way this works is that the wishlist belongs to a
user. This means that you usually have the uni directional from that, and
query from the user if you need to.
That is a good idea anyway, since that means that you start thinking about
things like unbounded result sets.
