I would also like to add, that your definition of "true Love" seems to apply to romantic love. Which, to me, negates the power of other relationships that can shape and touch our lives in a meaningful way. I have friendships that have lasted for dozens of years, are deep and meaningful, if they ended I would be crushed.
Romantic love, for me, I wouldn't depend on it to last forever. This whole concept of "the ONe" is like one of my biggest pet peeves. There are many people who come in and out of our lives, some are there for years and years, some for months. Sometimes we get wrapped up in the hype and want to believe its the fairytale we were sold as kids.
As for marriage, its really hard work and I agree with the poster who said we aren't supposed to live this long. Back in the 1800's I don't think there were many 50th anniversary parties happening.
Just don't let this whole breakup make you bitter. That would be the real tragedy.
