Their statement needed some editing and would have been better to have said we still love and respect each other or something similar but I am shocked by the number of people who don’t seem to recognize that love has many forms and frequently changes over time. It is entirely possible for two people who once shared a passionate romantic love to end up in a purely platonic relationship which may be desperately unhappy, profoundly meh, or genuinely friendly. Once that happens, they have to choose whether to give up romantic love for ever, keep the relationship but seek romance elsewhere, or end the relationship and move on. I completely understand that in India it is still the expected norm that women must choose the first option and men publicly do the first but may privately do the second. I hate that but I get it. What I don’t get is all the people who refuse to see the difference between being married to someone you love like your kids’ other parent and being married to someone you love like your lover. It’s a profound difference especially if you have been lucky enough to have a passionate love and know what you’re missing. Marriage is a concept that worked best when people only lived until they were 40.
