I just think people are not really supposed to stay together in this day and age. Sure, years ago, when life was much harder and difficult an there was a much lower life expectancy etc, it made sense for one man and one woman to pool the recourses and stick together working for each others survival.

In this day and age of easy living and the need for frivolous instant gratification, a lot of relationships fail...


Its no big deal really. Life is too short to be unhappy. Just move on and dont dwell on it.
