As others above have suggested, love is not the be-all, end-all you seem to think it is, kacilinden. Maintaining real love, and a healthy relationship to sustain that love, requires a lot of work. It's not all sunshine and daisies--sometimes that work is painful.
Love is not unique. Your connection is not unique, though you may feel that it's special. As my dad told me shortly after I broke up with my first love, "Men are like MAX trains; there's another one every 15 minutes." He was right.
Ultimately, the relationship that lasts is not necessarily the one where you're both burning with passion. The relationship that lasts is the one where both partners are willing to put in the effort to make the relationship a healthy, functional one.
