When does it eventuate , when does it actually reach that point where all the love in the world could simply not be enough. It has been said that love sets you free that it is the greatest thing the sweetest thing on earth, but i question if this is the case, then how could it ever reach a point where love is not enough. So what brings us to this point what situations, life altering happenings happen that take you from one day being that in love that you and your beloved are invincible to the next you still love each other but cant stand the sight of one another.

I think allot of it has to do with the fact that things aren't as they once were once upon a time it seemed that we took things slower invested in getting to know each other before we jumped in and were living with each other and having relations. In-fact once upon a time lets face it it was taboo to even contemplate sex before marriage and now it seems that 14 year old kids are doing what we didn't even really understand at 14.
So now you have 14 year old kids and they have only known each other for 2 weeks and they are living together and they don't even really know each other and so inevitably the next part of the breakdown begins. These days we are so eager to cohabit that instead of taking things slowly getting to know the person and getting too see if things will work if they can handle each others eccentricities they place themselves in this situation where they have to face all this head on. The bad habits come out and the relationship starts to fall but still the love is strong enough, she cant stand the fact that he leaves the toilet seat up and he wishes he had a little more wardrobe but they love each other and they learn to deal with it still.
Then suddenly it seems that other things start to annoy them she cant stand the way he is when he drinks, he cant stand the way her friends and her bitch to each other and the strains start to appear the love is still strong but the will to deal with it all starts to diminish. I guess love should simply never be enough to stick around if in anyway it threatens your ultimate happiness. If love is expected to grow in an abusive environment then in fact what will happen is that a garden full of weeds will grow and in the end you will find that love is not enough.
