What Causes Love to Die
When Respect is Gone, Love Dies.
It's truly sad when love dies, there's nothing that can replenish those once true love feelings once they have been destroyed. In my opinion, when a person has lost all respect for their partner, the partner might as well pack their bags and be gone. A married couple builds their foundation on love, honesty, respect, faithfulness, truthfulness, compassion, attentiveness, sincerity, working together as one, treatments of kindness and caring, trust, etc., and when a partner doesn't adhere to these factors...love dies. Yes, I've been so profoundly in love and I thought I would "never" leave my partner but I did because of him crossing the line.
A married couple is bonded by the actions of their partner, and if their partner is conniving, distorts the truth, lies and cheats, not attentive nor shows no compassion for them, mean and cruel to them, uses forms of mental and physical abuse, shows "no" respect for them, calls them names, constantly accuses them of unfaithfulness and lying, ignores and pays them "no" attention, all of these factors will cause a person to be totally turned off and they'll become immune to the hurt and pain they're suffering and lose respect for their partner. Some people can withstand years of mistreatment before finding they do not love their partner any longer...it will eventually come, it only takes time. Many mothers will hold on for as long as they can stand it for their children, but they'll, in most instances, end up leaving with their children.
An Old Dog Can Only Take So Much Abuse
It's like I've always said, "An old dog can only take so much abuse," and it will up and leave its owner. People who abuse and disrespect their partners will become a total stranger to their mate. In my opinion, love dies when a heart and soul has been abused and mistreated so much they cannot stand the sight of their partner anymore and they have to walk away.
Who in this world wants to live in a relationship of constant turmoil and pain? Our lives have their ups and downs, life in general, can sometimes become hard to tolerate and you want out. When love is dead, it's dead for me, and there's nothing that can win it back or rekindle the love. Once a person has been walked all over, they want to get up and smell the roses and be treated with respect and kindness.
