I've thought about this a lot as well. I guess when I got the ILYBINILWY speech, I just didn't know what it meant. How can you love someone and in the same breath say you're not in love with them? Are there really two kinds of love in marriage? Personally I think my W is confusing puppy love with being "in love". She remembers those early stages of an R where your stomach is fluttery and you feel faint just being around the OP and she thinks that's how love is ALWAYS supposed to be. So since she doesn't feel it with me, she has to seek it elsewhere. But that puppy love never lasts. It either dies on the vine and you move on to seek it elsewhere, or it gets replaced by a more enduring love that is more about companionship then fluttery emotions. I just think Hollywood has created a huge misconception about what love is, and now people are leaving loving marriages seeking that fake, temporary Hollywood love.
