I wonder what causes people who once thought they’d spend their life together to not want to do that anymore.

Has your partner change? Or did they not change when you expected them to? Have you changed?

Have you not noticed each others’ flaws when love was young and the pink glasses still worked and only discovered them later?

And what can your experience teach us about our own relationships?

    First one, we were sexually incompatible (both tops) which only got worse over time. We opened the relationship which doomed it.

    Second one, in progress: we’re both addicts, I got sober, he’s still struggling, but I think he won’t get clean until I am actually good and gone. Enablement is sometimes not something you can avoid doing once the systems are built… resentments the same.
