Let’s say that you find yourself out of love in your long-term relationship, but your partner is still in love with you, treats you great and has similar life-and-future-view.

Would you stay in the relationship? In both cases, why would you leave/stay?

  1. It’s financial or because of kids for a lot of people.
    I personally wouldn’t stay if I wasn’t in love. Happiness is very valuable to me.

  4. Sometimes the relationship was never about love. Sometimes it’s just about companionship, perhaps slightly more stable than FWB. As long as both partners understand and accept the boundaries of the relationship, that’s perfectly valid too.

  5. Differentiating values/ideals and interests will definitely play a factor; especially since people and relationships grow/change with time.

    But..I’m not one to sit idle just because it’s safe or comfortable.

  6. I would leave. All those other things are secondary requirements to a relationship for me. The primary one is being in love.
