So many days in their shared life. So many experiences. How had they managed to spend the previous sixteen years unlearning each other? How had all the presence summed to disappearance?

Jonathan Safran Foer
About This Quote

When you spend more than sixteen years with someone, you see them grow and change. You witness their struggles and triumphs. However, as time passes you begin to notice that your relationship is no longer as strong as it used to be. You may find yourself becoming distant from one another and the more time passes the less intimate you become.

And if you’re lucky, you will find your love showing its true colors by acting out in a way that you never thought possible. And the more painful that reality becomes, the more love you have for each other.
