Why do good relationships go bad?
This is something I've always wondered about..,
People often say that they've been in great relationships.... (I mean REALLY great relationships where both partners are in love and treat each other with respect, consideration etc, where both partners make plenty of time for one another, enjoy similar activities, are the best friends and can talk to each other about anything and everything)....and that those relationships have failed.
Why??
How can relationships like that fail? I can honestly say that I am deeply in love with my boyfriend, and he seems to love me deeply too... and the thought of it all coming to an end at some point strikes fear into the very core of my soul. Yet I know that failure is statistically the most likely outcome, be it in a month, a year, 2 years.
I guess I'm living in a fairytale land because my parents have such a happy marriage, went from being best friends at school to an inseparable duo and have now been happily married with not even a hiccup along the way for the best part of 30 years!
I just don't understand how two people in love, two people who are really in love, can ever lose that feeling and go there seperate ways...
So I'm asking all those out there who claim to have loved and lost, those that are still best friends with their ex.... what went wrong??
