We were passionate beyond belief, worked wonderfully together (found employment together) and after nearly 3 years we finally had a home, good jobs, security.

And the moment we weren't actively involved saving each other, the love just...died. I started to look ... really look at him. He was still handsome but suddenly I was no longer physically attracted to him; he was annoying, stubborn, opinionated...we had NOTHING in common. It was just about keeping each other from drowning in all the drama of our lives...and once that was successful, there was nothing left.

We 'broke up' soon after, but remained friends, of a sort. It does happen that when a relationship is dependant on a specific that doesn't necessarily include mutual, fully nurtured and complete 'love'...that a person can find themselves no longer 'in love'. It sounds like you've reached this place.

I wish you well.
I hadn't thought about it like that, but that sounds pretty accurate. He's been my crutch while I've gotten my life in some sort of order. Now that I've reached that point, I can see more clearly what's right in front of me, and I don't like what I see...
