Yeah, thanks sleepycatz...I wasn't asking if apathy is the cause, I was asking if it's the love killer, no matter the cause. Of course there is a cause to it.

yeah apathy is the opposite of love...love is an emotion that shows that you care....
apathy or indifference is the act of NOT caring...
when you are indifferent to your wife's life and her accomplishments...then a divorce is necessary...UNLESS you can curtail that indifference or apathy with counselling..

false. apathy is the end result when love dies, but something has to happen first (be it time apart, stress, lack of communication, etc.) to give apathy a chance to grow.
