What do you do when the love isn't there anymore?

Most of us marry our partners because we love them. What do you do when that love is gone? There are several reasons that could cause you to stop loving your spouse or your partner. It could be infedility, lying, not trusting, mental or physical abuse. All of these things can cause us to stop loving our partners. Love does not come or go overnight. Love is innocent and does not hurt. It's the people who we choose to love that can hurt us with their actions. I was married for five years, but we were only together for one of those years. It ended in divorce, but didn't hurt as much because I didn't love him that much. I became involved in another relationship that lasted for almost six years. I was mentally abused almost on a daily basis. I was constantly accused of cheating up to the point that once finding out that I was pregnant with our first child his first reaction was "it's not mine". I wasn't able to enjoy being pregnant because of that. Worse turned to worse when I became pregnant with our second child and he advised me to have an abortion because he said "it's not mine". Denying my babies is what took my love away from him. I tried to stay for a little while longer for the sake of our babies, but I had to make a decision for myself. I could not have my children watching me looking depressed everyday. I wanted them to see mommy always happy so that they would be happy. I made the decision to leave for myself and for my children. I will always love them more than him or anybody else which is why I know I made the right decision.

I am also in similar situation but wont the children miss their father ? they would miss the fathers love. Only for that i am still trying to pull on though there is no love. And just physical relation is not love. Love comes deep within. When u see a person whom you love, the body starts trembling without control, love starts overflowing that you tend to pour that love on that person. But a person who is not worth that love should never be loved.
