I wonder what causes people who once thought they’d spend their life together to not want to do that anymore.

Has your partner change? Or did they not change when you expected them to? Have you changed?

Have you not noticed each others’ flaws when love was young and the pink glasses still worked and only discovered them later?

And what can your experience teach us about our own relationships?

    The truth is that there are many compatible potential partners out there for any given person. You’ve had a bad experience but there are other people out there who you could have a true, mutual relationship with (when you’re ready to look for that again).

    Edit: Was responding to you being “done with love” but not phrasing it well. I suppose I mean that you might get more from relationships by not putting Love on a pedastal.
