Sadly sometimes love isn’t enough to make a relationship last. Sure, it’s essential, but it’s just a part of the puzzle. There are other crucial puzzle pieces that have to fit together to form the bigger picture.
What we usually forget is the most obvious thing there is that love takes two two people making efforts, investing equally, and meeting each other halfway.
We fail in our relationships every time we start to think that we love so deeply that it will be sufficient for two. He doesn’t see himself getting married. You can’t imagine yourself living in the countryside.
One of you doesn’t want to have children and other can’t imagine a future without them. And no matter how strongly you feel for each other, you will at one point have to face the fact that you will be miserable if you sign up for a life you don’t really want.
You can’t remember the last time you had a whole week of peace and harmony. After one or two quiet days, the storms come bursting in and you are overall more sad than happy.
In spite of all the love and likely undeniable attraction you share, you are simply not compatible.
