Three and a half years is a long time. At that point, things are going to be a bit dulled and banal and without kids or mortgages or experiences like that to go through together. Someone is going to end up resenting another. It sounds like you're married. Your mates are right. I think having a girlfriend before you're 21, 22 is pretty good – you learn a lot and it's a nice experience, but more than anything it teaches you that relationships are ultimately hard work and ultimately boring as s**t in the end. Boring, frustrating, and with all this emotional weight; angst, jealousy, protectiveness, and you don't have the infatuation and so of course you ask "why keep it going?"
I don't know, I think you've been there and experienced it all and it's a good thing, but everything is fleeting and everything in life is, essentially, also about enjoyment. Why hate something pointless that'll end inevitably anyway?
