I know people change over time and relationships take work. Also, the grass is greener, but it is always just as hard to mow on the other side of the fence. So, why is the desire to leave a stable relationship still so prevalent? Why stray? Is it the hunt? Is it the desire to be seen as attractive and viable? Or has the relationship run its course and people are not always meant to be together for an entire adult lifetime?

I think each individual would have their own answer.
Excitement. Self esteem. Boredom. Sexless marriage. He farts too much so the new guy who smells like old spice and not refried beans, onions and last weeks pizza is all the more interesting.
I'm sure the list goes on and on and on...
In the long run each to their own but I think (most of the time) ending the relationship is better than cheating. Too many people get hurt and it seems complicated and messy.

Human beings aren't and can't ever be robots, so...just keep that in mind.

As a rule all of us audition and cast our pitiful life dramas with the best available actors, and when better comes along we fire the originals. Maturity is the realization that better always comes along, and learning to appreciate who we have.

As we get older and things start to ache and age and we ponder upon our eventual demise.
We reminisce of kicking up our stilletto heels in times of revelry before the need for girdles and granny pants
Oh the times we had you know so many romps and lots of wonderful spanks
and now we're buying spanx.

It's funny you say that.
I was watching the gardener pull the weeds today and he said, "If they weren't so bloody annoying I'd take my hat off to them."

Isn't it ironic?
I left a long term relationship between myself and a person who was older than me. Stable, smart, intelligent, humorous, caring, kind and compassionate. But there was an ugly side that absolutely brought me to my knees. I couldn't take it.
The good side helped me grow into the person I am today, so I'm grateful even though it didn't work out.
Anyway, I met someone new (as you sometimes do) and she is just like me 10 years ago and does my fucking head in. I break up with her and tell her I'm not in love.
The whole time though, I'm thinking I've broken up with my younger self. I gave her a chance and she blew it by behaving badly.
There are two sides to falling in and out of love. Always.

My understanding of love is different from most.
Love is a process, not an event. Its like the weather or the lawn.
I call new love THE NEW CAR SMELL, and it lasts about as long. God created it to keep the world populated. No child has ever been conceived after the new car smell goes.

Cos you wanna mow that bitch down sometimes?
You cant carry love in a cart or basket, so its a process like freedom, liberty, and attitude. The acts of love are revealed within the process.
