 When we can only see them as father and not lover, it creates distance. I'm talking about when men see themselves as our father, not just father to the kids. This sets up options for women to either rebel or walk away from a relationship that can't move from parent-child back to adult-adult conversation.

The honeymoon is over (2/8)
Some lovely ladies aren’t the most realistic – and expect life to be sunshine and roses 24/7. After the newness of love begins to fade, and the focus is often on paying bills, work or other responsibilities, they lose interest. Reality bites – just a little too much for some poor souls, unfortunately. It’s likely in these cases the women have some serious growing up to do.
#2 is it. Women have unrealistic expectations.

Wherefore Art Thou Chemistry (7/8)


Some women get addicted to that initial stage – the warm feeling in the pit of your stomach when you know you are going to see your love. As anyone knows who has been in a relationship long enough, chemistry often fades, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but for some that means it’s time to move on. It may not be the most mature point of view – but it’s a choice women make when the sparks have dwindled.
This is so true. Chemistry will not result in a successful ltr. Yet that's the main criteria they go by.

 Constant Criticism (1/8)
It sucks that you can't exchange constructive criticism(not Constant Criticism) amongst each other. How else are you going to grow together as a couple. If your unable to voice your opinion on how things are going then how can you ever change the direction of how things is going(that's if they are going downhill). So are we as men just suppose to bite our tongue and allow the relationship that we would like to stay in forever to just die?

#1 is so true!!!!  Once this is happening it causes so many of the other things to happen.  If all you do is yell at a pet eventually they don't come running to see you anymore and just ignore the yeller over time.

I really hate #2. They not only expect life to be sunshine & roses 24/7, but they expect ME to be the same 24/7.

Choosing (2/8) "The Honeymoon is Over" and (7/8) "Some women get addicted to that initial stage" as the only two reasons that women fall out of love, is blaming only the frivolousness of some women in certain scenarios and not giving the man any responsibility for the situation at all.  It is important for both sides to seek to understand the other before being understood, and not to continually look at problems, but to look for positives in each other and the relationship and building upon those.  Celebrate life and each other every day rather than nag and criticize and a happy relationship will be yours.

The above comment is excellent advice. Let's not forget that if your in a relationship wherein the person your involved with isn't emotionally available and your doing all the work it's bound not to last, or be satisfying to you. Lots of men and women have no idea what to do with each other beyond the initial honeymoon phase. They don't have a clue and or they aren't emotionally able to make a ltr. work. Some people have unrealistic expectations of what their partner is capable of , they ignore the fact that the person is not the way they want them to be and set about trying to make them be the way they want them to be. People are "as is" when you find them, if they don't treat you with love, care and respect from the get go, don't expect them to change their way of being because you want them to and you love them cause it isn't going to work. Sure you can ask them to treat you the way you wish to be treated but don't expect them to change because you wnat them to and you love them.

I've read many many studies in social and personality psychology where the results show the opposite of what you're saying; that MEN are generally the ones to be unrealistic about relationships more romantic than women. According to the findings, women are said to be more realistic and are more likely to break up the relationship. However, it all depends on the individual of course, whether male or female =p
