I think that there are a lot of relationships that fall out of what people believed was true love. Married couples stay together for a variety of reasons such as the kids, security, and resignation. I personally think that they thought they were once in love but never really were. Love is a very interesting emotion. You must first ask, How do you know when you really are in love? Then, Is it possible to love more than one person? I have often thought that I was in love. Then things would happen and the realtionship would be over. I would think about it and hope to learn from it. I then had a relationship with a wonderful woman that I now believe is the only woman I have ever truly loved and still do. What was different with her was that when I was in that relationship, I could only think of her. No other woman could even get my attention. She was the only one I wanted and wanted to be with all of the time. No other woman had ever made me think this way even though I had enjoyed being with many of the others that I had been with. I suggest you think about love and what it really is before you get married. Marriage is supposed to be forever and if two people are really in love, then it should not be hard to fulfill. But considering the divorces we see every day, I think that a lot of the declared "love" is not really lovev at all.

Listening is the best thing that friends can do for those we care about. Most people have to solve their own problems and/or realize the solution themselves. This can often be done just through talking it out to a friend.

i agree with u sandy..one is perceived love...and other is true or real love...but aprt from ur love towards ur partner have you seen any more people like you having true love in them towards thier partner in ur peers or family and things like that.. but teme one thing in the case cited in the discusion dont you think that the husband would be having true love towards the wife ..its only that wife has lost interest in her hubby...bt in that whts the fault of the hubby and cant they talk and settle things in a proper manner....

hi dear mumaiybanez, life is full of varieties of ups and downs. the winning in life is not that love fails but rather winning it back again against all odds! many divorces all over the world and more than that break outs and misunderstandings are the order of the day . and many social problems come up! custody of the children , their up bringing, schooling and many other things. and funny thing is man and woman both can not remain alone!!they again make readjustments in a new set up and repeating the same mistakes again!!then why not to adjust at the first place!!

Yeah..heard of that stories. The thing to ask is why she fall out of love. Is her husband has bad attitudes. Then they must work it out.But sometimes, we are always looking for something we don't know and we cannot see what we have. Hope it would be not late for her to realize that what she has right now is more important that what she's looking for.

actually, her husband is a good man..quite good looking BUT...jobless..she reasoned out to me that she has gone tired of keeping the family...and all she wanted was to focus on her career..i can see that she has a point, though quite shallow but i dont know if it happens to me...
