on why long term relationships sometimes fall apart
/u/BloodyTotallySirius
....Five years and things had started falling apart after year two, but we held on hoping things would get better. I was miserable and he would make promises that things would change but they never did. I didn't realize until later that he didn't care that I was miserable, he was happy and all of those promises were empty in the hopes that he could get me to stay. Once we broke up he made all of the changes I had been begging for years for him to make...but it was too late. I still remember looking at him one day and realizing I was so completely fed up with our relationship I didn't even want to look at his face.
