Temporarily Forever...

What makes people fall out of love with each other? How does it happen? What is it that leads you to it? How long does it take for you to completely stop having feelings for him/her?
Why is it that sometimes couples who have been together for years, couples who have started a family together, couples who swore that they would be together forever, decide to throw everything away and move in opposite directions.

Why is it that though they are hurting inside, they feel that being away is the best option.

Why is it that people who love each other so much that they are willing to make a commitment to spend the rest of their lives together, suddenly find themselves wondering what they ever saw in each other in the first place. How is it that one is supposed to believe the institution of marriage where she can only see failed marriages.

Five of her parents siblings have had failed marriages. Marriages that have ended in messy ugly divorces. She has seen her beautiful, full of life cousin been reduced to pieces as a result of a traumatic marriage. Her own parents have had rocky periods through their almost 30 year marriage.

Tell me, how is she supposed to believe in that perfect soulmate when men have broken her hearts so many times. What will make her willing to take that kinda risk?


Who will be make her take a step towards something she has no faith in? Who?
