Only way to fake something like that is if you're cheating the whole time. But the point of a relationship of that length is to see if the person is marriage material, going through all the seasons and variety of circumstances.

what would be the reason for them doing that?

Easily accessible sex or "good for now" thinking.

There are studies on how increase proximity increases affection.

If you were living with a woman you were in a relationship for 2+ years would you honestly not love her at some point?

I've never done this type of relationship, if I stuck with her for more than a month there would be love, so i agree, yes you'd love her. But there are those who cant be alone and they are in all kinds of weird relationships. These are the types that hop from one relationship to the next and if there is none available to hop to then they stay

for those that answered yes I just wonder why ? what purpose does that serve ?

Easy...filling a need. Keep in mind, humans are only 100,000 years out of the jungle and have not evolved past primal instincts. Ignore all of the advances in technology. Despite our high minded talk and ideals...both sexes still date by pure instinct which is to gather to oneself what they need to survive and thrive. We only use our intellect to rationalize and justify those instincts.

Essentially, men tell women what they want to hear in order to get what they need...and if we're being honest women accept that to fulfill their needs as well. Morality/ethics is often an after thought.

I'm loving the anwsers thank you for your insight. I know a guy who's two timing some girls right now they both are in a relationship with him on Facebook. He stopped talking to my cousin im assuming because she confronted him about his games. I told her he'll be back to play again lol

Also not loving somebody doesn't mean not liking them at all

They can be comfy and cozy and never minding co-existence.

Not everyone so lucky to find tru love.

It doesn't mean they faking anything!
