In the past two months, there are at LEAST 3 couples that are friends of mine splitting up that I thought would NEVER split.
What the hell is going on?
I am probobly more upset about this than I have any right to be.. but it seriously bothers me!!
There are couples that you just don't think will make it, and when they split, you're always saying "Didn't see THAT coming..." in your head.
Or out-loud, rolling your eyes. Whatever.
But then there are those that you thought would be together forever - because that's just the way it is.
Was.
Keith and I have been together forever. Okay, Not forever. But for about 18 1/2 years. I'm 35 (and if anyone mentions how soon my birthday is, I will feel the need to kick your ASS!) and he's 38. I keep thinking that if nothing has ruined us by now, we're pretty safe...
But are we?
Is it possible to fall "out of love" with someone? Is there really one deed - or argument - that is worth severing the relationship?
Keith and I have our agruments, let me assure you. Some of them are pretty ugly. There are certain things we totally dissagree on. But I don't think there is anything thus far that would make us end this relationship. There are times, also, when it feels like the two of us are just roomates - walking around here doing our own thing - and although it's a pretty crappy feeling, it passes within a fairly short amount of time.
I just don't get it..
"There are two sides to every story, and then there's the truth."
So no matter what is happening in these 6 peoples lives, I won't ever get it. I'll never understand, I don't think. It sure makes me sad, though.
I just hope they all find the strength to get through it and not become vindictive and spiteful. Hurt feelings are SO easy to turn into angry ones.

Love is a choice and it's not going to be great all the time, like you said about you and Keith, but it's always a choice to stick it out or give up.
But then again I AM a never married single person with no prospects, so there's a slight (slight) possibility that I have no idea what I'm talking about :)
It's hard for me to understand how long people make an effort to try before they give up. A week? A month? a year?
When is that "final straw" just too heavy?
Do they just come to some epiphany one day, and realize it just wasn't working?
*sigh*
I'm still not sure on all the details, but concerning one of the couples, the same thing happened more than once, and it was pretty bad. Bad enough to warn of impending divorce if it happened again (which it did).
At least that's the (very limited) info I've gotten.
We couldn't really ask, since we found out at a party, and we didn't want to kill the mood.
Not to mention the girlfriend being right there and all.
