"love" doesn't really exist nowadays.
Of course it does. Just because you can't keep it together doesn't mean it's the case for others.
There's just too many lazy SOBs not willing to work at keeping a relationship alive. Generations are so entitled and spoiled now that they think passion and infatuation felt in the early stages of a relationship is what they "deserve" at all times. I've seen so many relationships break apart over the stupidest things. Other times I see people turning their relationship into shackles for their partner. We have a friend who's boyfriend won't refuses to get married and have children. Two things she really wants. He get's pissed when she books vacations or goes shopping. He's a damn jerk for restricting her so tightly. She's nuts for sticking with him.
A long term healthy relationship takes effort, planning and lots of communication. There are always horrible times during any relationship. People are just so ADD that they can't seem to endure and fight to make it work. They would rather give up and move on. Enjoy waking up middle aged and alone.
People don't get out anymore either. There are so many activities and many require little to no funds to participate in. Have fun, meet people. Do double dates with friends. Take up classical dancing lessons, eat cuisine you never tried or take cooking classes together. Putting some variety in your life gives you plenty to talk and laugh about.
Personally I enjoy coming home to someone who is excited to see me. Someone I can share my day with. Someone I can be myself with. We put on so many masks throughout the day that it's nice to just be myself with my wife. When times are bad, I know she is there to lift my spirits up and vice versa. She encourages me in my endeavors as I do with hers. You realize how much you love someone when you find yourself making all kinds of small sacrifices for this person without them realizing it. You also find yourself not seeking credit for it. It was your pleasure to do it.
Life with a partner is much more enjoyable. I dredd the thought of waking up alone and comming home to no one. Get out there. Video Games and Statues are nothing more than temporary and empty entertainment. I'd burn all my posessions without a second thought if need be.
Now with my 10 week old daughter, it's even sweeter. I didn't think it was possible to "love" something so much. The wife and I are having the time of our life with the baby. Went to see Skyfall with the baby when she was 5 weeks old. Saw the Hobbit this week-end with her being 10 weeks old. She let go a super loud crap just as the credits rolled and the film fell silent. My wife and I burst out laughing.
Ya... Love doesn't exist my ass.
