(#2) Love Is Amorphous
From Redditor /u/Fortunefavourthebold
I'm in a relationship for the last 14 years and what I have to say is, Love is amorphous, it changes what it is and is hard to pinpoint sometimes. Sometimes you will be mad at each other, sometimes you will share laughter and smiles and hugs and kisses, sometimes you will be underwhelmed, sometimes you will be bored... sometimes you will be full of pride and appreciation, other times you will take them for granted. sometimes the sex will be great, other times samey. But life goes on... can anyone truly say they are in love constantly and without interruption always, or is it something that ebbs and flows. I think the latter. But I am always loyal and feel allegiance to my partner and family, I always have the attitude that I am committed and we are on this journey together, and I certainly don't want to be with anyone else! So that's my 2 cents right now

(#16) The Dog Changed Nothing
From Redditor /u/nnaralia
Our dog.
My (now) ex was getting lower and lower in life because he was lazy to do anything. I don't even know why I started dating him. A year later we adopted a dog and she just made everything worse. I love her, but that doesn't change the fact how terrible our relationship became after that. She was the only reason I didn't want to break up with my (now ex) boyfriend. We had the talk and tried to fix things, but he put zero effort into it. I ended up breaking up with him because I realized no one else's happiness should come before mine. I knew he wouldn't leave our dog, but I also knew she will be in good hands with him. I can't believe I put up with all that shit for 3 years...

(#5) Get To The Happy Spot
From Redditor /u/Gwendywook
I realized recently that every relationship I've been in, until the current one, had absolutely no love in it. I told myself I loved them, but I was really with every one of them for convenience or because they asked me out and I was scared to say no. The last two ended so horribly, I was scared to leave the house for a long time, and routinely asked guys at my job to walk me to my car because I heard one of them was looking for me. Met my current SO online, moved 800 miles away to be with him, it'll be two years in January and we just had a baby girl together. It just took a literal f*** ton of pain to get to the happy spot.

(#3) It's Real Life
From Redditor /u/dirtyflower
I literally just got married to my husband two weeks ago. I am not "in love" with him. I respect him as a strong, good, honest, hard-working, intelligent...yadda yadda amazing man. I find him attractive most of the time haha I love him very much but I'm not "in love" with him and haven't been for a very long time. We've been together for almost 7 years, living together for 6. I know him inside and out and I'll never leave him or betray him and I trust him not to either. We argue plenty, disagree often, have sex on occasion but always find a way back to kindness and know when to turn it on for the other person. We also both are openly aware of each others struggles whether at work, mental health, family, financial or whatever else comes up. I am still with him because I know we are compatible even if we have many differences and I believe in sharing a committed life together working through the downs to find the joy in the ups because that history with someone is worth more than the fairy tale, sappy, "in love" glowing warmth. It's real life.

(#9) He Doesn't Like Me And I Don't Like Him
From Redditor /u/poopieschmaps
We have a special needs daughter, who doesn’t talk. Until she’s able to tell me that something happened and she can understand more complex ideas and situations, there’s no way I’m putting her in someone else’s hands.
My husband and I just don’t mesh, he doesn’t like me and I don’t like him. For the most part we can get along and even have fun doing things together with our daughter. But we haven’t been intimate in years. We’re both in our late 30’s. And we reasonably don’t have family to help.
Although once she starts going to school full time, I believe I will have more options to do something financially productive with my time.

(#10) More Of A Roller-Coaster
From Redditor /u/Cuddle_Cloud
I waited 5 months before breaking up because so many things came up. I didn't want him to think I was obsessed with the number 3 so I couldn't break up after 3 months. Then it was summer break so I couldn't see him and i wanted to do it in person. Then his birthday. Then Christmas! I finally broke up in Jan..... And then get back in April because I genuinely fell for him again. We lasted 3 years before I realised I was the only one putting any effort into staying in the relationship and finally broke it off for good.
