For old times' sake

OMG! First thing to tell you. The way you have explained here in this post, I must tell you, the way you have put the words in this post, really explains how y our heart is crying. Very well written and explained. Not to forget how much you have been hurt in life and how much you have been going through. yes, of course even him. Well friend, I would just tell you, this is not the end of the world. Everyone has ups and downs in every relationship. But what matters the most is the love for each other. Never ever think that you have lost passion in your love, you indeed have developed more passion within your relationship and that is why today you are pouring out all you have and you are remembering those good old times. You are going through pain right now and did you not know that true love is felt in real pain only? Yes, that is the nature of life and that is how the world evolves. this time will pass by soon enough and I am sure your good old times will be back very soon, with even more passion and love for each other. The way you handle this time and moment of your life is what decides how much you have loved your partner in the past. there is always a testing time in any relationship and that testing time has come down to you and it is upto you whether you deal it alone or together. If you manage to get over this together, your life will be full of roses and no thorns can even make a scratch in your relationship. It is all about giving up, sacrificing and adjusting to one another and most importantly , understanding the other person selflessly that truly matters a lot. Trust me, things will be fine, and as you know, everything happens for a reason, and this also has all been happening for a reason and that should be, testing your love for one another and how much one can stand with the other in tough times. Good luck.

The first few years of the relationship is the sweetest because there was less responsibilities. You just tend to think of yourselves and not be burdened on financial obligations. But of course, things change when a child is already in the picture.

I agree, Usually when we are in love, it is really very sweet, full of life and promising, until responsibilities come and it takes its toll on us. The thing is many people cannot handle a relationship too well, let alone add a responsibility again, a child for that matter. Even at work we get burned out, even in school when we have too much of everything we get tired, we want a break and we want to just be able to relax and feel carefree again... i think this has been happening to relationships all the time. It is a decision to make between couples that their love is more than the feeling of being tired, that the love the have is more than the thought of being always together and actually decide to be with each other. As you have said, for old time's sake you both have got to get up and try again, harder this time and make it work inspite of everything that is happening.
