If Love isn't enough what is enough? Before you break up make sure you have really looked at the situation. If you need to, make a list of what is important to you (be sure to separate wants from needs). Love is a very rare thing in this day and age. Please take the time to look at your situation - maybe ask the opinion of someone who's judgment you trust..
Good luck - I hope you don't end up with any regrets.

you get on antidepressants... It's at that point that you realize you've been lied to all your life. Love is not enough to sustain a relationship. Communicate with your partner what your needs are and if it can't be worked out together then move on. You'll be wiser for the next relationship having learned that.

If you feel that there is not enough to keep you there then you should let go. On the other hand, if there are other things going on then I would tell you that it is easy to love someone when times are good but hard to love them when it is not. If you truly love someone and things are hard I would suggest you work through your problems together.

You work at it! If you want to continue the relationship you've now realised that for it to work, you have to work at it. Make compromises, negotiate with your partner. A serious relationship doesn't work by itself. It takes teamwork with two people. Communicate more and be open about things, this will help. Be prepared to sacrifice time or your things if you expect your partner to do the same.

When love is not enough, you can either compare the good and the bad in the relationship and see which is more or you could just walk away.

Unfortunately, love isnt. It takes a lot more than that to make a relationship work. You need respect, commitment, fidelity, understanding and compromise.

What are you looking for exactly. And you shouldn't have put intelligent answers only because all the ignorant people can't help but say something stupid now. :)

well first off, not enough for what???? if its not enough to fufill your life then i would say you have a problem. i would try to make some adjustments to the whole relationship. otherwise, find something or some one else to fufill that emptiness.

You have to discuss the other issues. If you do not get a satisfactory reply there is only one thing for you to do, move on.
