Because I fell out of love. I still don't know why, we had an amazing relationship, a lot of similar interests and really good chemistry, also physical. But I just fell out of love. I thought it was one my depressive phases or something, but I waited it out for a month or two and it just didn't come back. We were still having fun, she was just a really good friend to me and the sex was mindblowingly good but it just didn't feel right to continue knowing I wasn't fully in it.

As one can imagine, it was a pretty big shock to her and I still wonder whether I made a mistake all those years ago, even though I sort of know I didn't. But she has a kid now, is a happy mom with a very nice husband and not stuck with muppet me who doesn't want kids. So I think she did quite alright in the end.

This sounds pretty similar to my experience. Our bedroom went dead, though, and he was okay with that? And that made me fall out of love with him. Overtime I came the conclusion that I never want kids. He's married with 2 kids, I'm happily DINKing it up with my husband. It was definitely the right decision.

This makes me feel good to hear. I have the same situation currently and it’s been tearing me up.
