I met someone who said that he was unhappy in his relationship... He loved his wife but it was hard as they fought so much that he was wondering if he really loved her... I heard his story and wrote this song: I don't know how to tell you I love you. I am not sure that I do. We argue and fight almost every night. Gone is the fire. Gone is the desire. We are like ships passing by on a darkened sea, far from delight. I don't know how to tell you I love you. I am not sure that I do. I can't stop loving you, no matter how hard I try The love remains strong, even when the passion dies. I don't know how to tell you I love you. I am not sure that I do. We talk about leaving each other but we can never stay away. So we hang on for just another day, so we hang on for just another day. Have you ever been in a relationship like this? Did you make it better or leave it? If you stayed and made it better, how did you do it? If you are still in the midst of this kind of relationship, what do you think that you can do to make it better?

well i was in a situation like that previously with my current boyfriend. about 6 months ago i found out that he had cheated on me, he did stop seeing the girl after he realized that he wanted to be with his family. i asked him why and he said because he was unhappy and the thing is i didnt know it cause he never told me. after being seperated for almost 6 months and him popping up at my apartment begging me. i decided that maybe i should give him another try. we have been together 8 years and have two kids. but i think that if he would have come to me before hand we could have talked and figured out a plan, but he didnt. so i would tell the guy to try and talk to his wife and see if they can work things out. if it seems like no one wants to then just call it quits before either of them does anything that may hurt the other person even worse. and as for me we have been doing wonderful, we laugh more and we don even argue, i mean we do have our disagreements but thats it, we move on from those so they wont cause a huge argument.and honestly i am happier with him now more then i have ever been.

You said it long enough to convince him and yourself that you did love him.

i can say you have written a nice song. may be its true about the hidden feelings. i have seen some relationship which was having some problem due to caste and all.but later they were close.

That caste conflict sounds like what classical Indian movies are about... I have watched them and wondered at how many ways the couples could die, break up, sacrifice their happiness, etc. I am glad that there are cases where it winds up becoming a happy relationship.
