9 years? please enlighten me how you could break up after that long?

Because I have been with my gf for 2.5 years so far and it is scary to think that even long term relationships such as yours are able to fall apart. I see mine going the distance but stories such as yours make me wonder.

Care to explain what exactly made it end?


It's quite simple. Not everyone stays together simply because it's safe and they are doing "pretty good". Some people break up because they want passion again. Some people want more. They feel they can find someone where the passion will last forever.

Huh, from every 20+ married couple Ive heard from, the passion tends to die off eventually, as the "honeymoon phase" rarely lasts a lifetime. But the love will always remain, and the relationship you build through the tough times will be enough to last well into retirement when your sex drive is all but eliminated. I dunno, everybodies different.


I'm just telling you how it is. I never said they will find that life long passion. Some people have unrealistic expectations. I think maybe they buy into hollywood and how it depict love and relationships.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.
