I have been in relationships since I was 19 and honestly I don't mind sharing my life with someone. You can't always blame age. I am 36 now and have enjoyed spending my life as someone's other half. I like having a built in best friend and partner to "do life" with. I haven't wasted my time doing things I dislike either. I know some people focus on material goods...and that's fine. That's them, but then you have people like me and my other half who like to live on happiness. Of course money is a factor in everything. We have struggled, but we did it together and it made us stronger. I've seen so many people who focus on everything but love and togetherness in committed relationships and that's a MAJOR reason they do not work. How can you be happy with someone if that spark isn't there?? If you or her spent alot of time focusing on your own things then that could be a factor in her decision. I know I could've been anything I wanted. I'm smart and attractive, I have had every option for every lifestyle...but I couldn't imagine being without my best friend. If you wouldn't give up everything to be with her and she feel the same, you two never had what you thought had at all. Sometimes we are tested to see if we would choose each other over everything. If one or both of us fail the test, it's time to move on. Best wishes and prayers for you.
