"happily ever after" certainly has a variety of definitions. But are you presenting one picture to the world when things are oh- so different behind closed doors? Theres a ton of pressure to stay married - for the kids, or careers or financial reasons. -- but are you and your husband sleeping in separate bedrooms, even living separate lives, when nobody's looking?

yes you are true, in today world any thing happens in the name of marriage. after marriages the women are even sold. sad.
but let me tell you we had lot of financial problems - bring up two children in an expensive city life was tough.
but we never kept out love and affections aside for sake of modern living.

I'm 24 years old and I've been with my boyfriend for like 5 years.Sometimes I feel like we just like some old couples with no romance left at all.Life is bored and it seems I don't feel the same about him any more.I wanted to break up with him,but failed so many times,there is some strings still exist between us.I checked my email the day before yesterday.We didn't email each other about 2 years ago.Reading those old emails from him ,my eyes was filled with tears,my heart was filled again.I realized that we still love each other.It's just me ,I changed ,I just don't have the same innocent heart as before.He still loves me forever.I think perhaps when we feel love doesn't exist anymore,maybe we need to revive the old times to help us to find love again.
