"We might be sharing a bed and the utility bills with a partner - but the love there once was between us may have gone forever. Neither of us is leaving, but we realize that perhaps for the rest of our lives, we're gonna to have to still be exist without the feeling that our partner is delighted or fascinated by us. Within a hopeless romantic minded culture, it can look rather pitiful to stay together for convenience once passion has gone, but little did we know when love has died, we're not particularly missing out, we have not particularly failed; we're simply meeting an ordinary yet rarely described, fate."
"Oh, I'm sad listening to it..."
"Kalo sedih berarti karena hopeless romantic culture minded *senyum*. there might be many good strong reasons to stay together even when our heart quietly broken. Maybe because our finance is intertwined, kids, friends in common, or we've established ways of living together that might be convenient to us. It's not strange or shameful. It's extremely ordinary and even rather noble. Because if we left, and found someone else, we'd probably end up in the same position a few year later - because in some ways, love almost always dies. Romantic intensity isn't a description of a life for living together in the long term."
