When planning your wedding you're so in love that you don't really stop to think that either of you might fall out of love with each other one day or even worse might meet someone else and fall in love with them. Obviously we all believe that the love that we share with our partners is strong and can withstand anything, but unfortunately this isn't always true.
I bring this up because last night we came to hear of something very disturbing. N's sister's husband of 13 years had met someone else and is no longer in love with N's sister. They have two children aged 13 and 3. He claims that he had fallen out of love with N's sister over a year ago. Obviously she is devastated and didn't see it coming, but the worst thing is is that he didn't even confront her face to face, he told her over the phone! He works out of town and comes home on weekends so he didn't even bother to come home this weekend to tell her. He's not even willing to work on it, to try somehow to get that love back.
The whole family is shocked by this and we all think that there must be more to the story. Does this new woman know that he's married and has kids? Is he really in love with her or is he just looking for a change in his life? N and I can't understand how, after 13 years of marriage, a person can simply not love their partner any longer. How do you just lose those feelings after so long??
