People grow up. They continuously learn new things about themselves. I'm sure you've heard the saying people either grow "together" or they grow "apart." So while that couple that has been together since they were 14 are still happily married, that may not be the case for everyone.
I think that's why the statistics of divorce rate for young marriages are so high, since people are still young, they're still figuring themselves out. They have yet to find their niche. Some people are lucky in that they continuously work out and help each other out, while others just realize it no longer works.
So while you're bummed out when you realize that he no longer does the things he once did like open car doors for you, call you cute pet names and think you're the sexiest girl on the planet, just realize sometimes things aren't forever.
However, with every cloud, comes a silver lining and although you may not have won the love lottery with this guy, this guy has helped you grow. You have now become a more aware person of who you are and of what you are looking for in a partner.
Chivalry can only take you so far, a genuine connection can last a lifetime.
