Bolas 5 #51 July 20, 2006 QuoteCall me old fashioned, but I don't see why this is such a mystery. Back in the day it was understood that if the romantic spark wasn't there then you had separate beds and got along just fine. I don't think you should always expect bodice ripping passion, but if the spark is truly gone, just move on.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

Jaden 0 #53 July 20, 2006 Personally... I believe it is possible that there may be someone out there better suited for me & my baby. I am completely dedicated to his happiness... I love him more than anything in this existence but this does not change the fact that we are slightly physically incompatible. He is a tall, amazing, technical cynic. I am a very short, naive, goofy & clueless romantic. We are total opposites. I had an irrational concept of someone once. I came to the conclusion that they are out there, very happy, taken care of & living a great life, with amazing friends…That is all that matters... I guess, it was simply not meant to be. I completely love my life & my true love. I would kill for him & I could not live without him. He is the single most important factor in my happiness. I owe him my life… No love has been lost in my situation. Understanding has been gained. To you, Babe; You continue to amaze me by the second. Words can not express how proud I am to know you & spend my life with you. You blow my mind everyday. I honestly believe...I am by far the luckiest chick out there. Have a blast up there. Be safe & Thank you with sincerity, for all that you are. Just a view from a different perspective. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #54 July 20, 2006 My situation wasn't a matter of one of my parents simply not loving the other one. My dad was simply a drunk jerk-wad who didn't love HIMSELF. My sister and I would have been better off not growing up with that. It depends on what we're talking about by not loving someone anymore. Sometimes people define love by how they "feel" towards the other person. Marriage and love are not all about feelings. Any one who's married long enough is not always going to feel loving towards the other one. That's just life. Marriage takes maintainence (sp) and a lot of it. It's sad that some folks take better care of their cars than they do their relationships To the original poster: I'm not sure if this is what you were talking about, or if it goes a lot deeper. Relationships are very complex and I'm not trying to say this is simple or easy.Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sartre 0 #56 July 20, 2006 I am the original poster I just threw a question out there inspired by a couple of relationship threads that have cropped up recently. Wondering what I would do in a similar situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #57 July 20, 2006 Honestly, I don't think any of us really know what we would do unless and until we were actually faced with that situation.

sartre 0 #58 July 20, 2006 yep, I agree. It's easy enough to say now what you would do, but when you're in the middle of these things, it's never as cut and dry as it seems from the outside. I've learned not to judge others' actions too harshly, because you never know when you'll be seeing things from the opposite angle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
