why do people fall out of love?

it depends.. but based on my experience, my love has faded when my ex started hitting me. i dunno, maybe because when he was still courting me and the first couple of months being steady he was not physical.

I don't know. I suspect the answer is a personal thing....similar to why do you fall in love. For me personally I think that people change. You fall in love with a person when they are at a certain stage in their life. People change throughout their lives as a response to their experiences etc. Therefore, unless you change with them then the situation could arise that the person you fell in love with is not the same person. Therefore it is not a surprise that you fall out of love with them.

Ya know this is an age old question and i have been doing alot of thinking, people do fall in love./.but when things dont work out..that doesnt mean they dont love each other anymore..they just have less love and the checmistry wasnt there anymore..or..in some cases with me..i thought i was in love and turned out to be a corroded realtionship..but what u truley think happens is the first thing i said,.ya fall madly in love..and sometimes you just get in a rut..and u just need to get over that hump and move on,,or something just cant be fixed and we need to move away..but it happens//.but love is a beautiful thing when you have it!

My friends, family and I agree that people "fall out of love" because they were never really "in love" in the first place. When two people truly love eachother there is no way they can fall out of love. True love will see anything through.

bcoz of misunderstandings .i heard this from my friends .yet i m not experienced. this is all bcoz of misunderstanding only

I think blood related would be hard to fall out love but still it's possible to be in that situation. However, if you are talking about to those people that you just met without other reason, I think, in that case, you can fall out of love easily. You can relate this to those who believe in 'conditional love'. I don't know if there are still people out there that believes in one's destiny. How about that?

I think one of the main reasons people fall out of love is because they change. Sometimes you start dating someone and they have everything you're looking for, but then you start to think maybe you need something different that they can no longer give you. You may just grow apart. Another reason is they may do something you don't agree with and you cannot find a way to forgive them. It creates a rift between the two people. An example might be one of the partners cheating on the other.

I dont know why it really happens. But it does. I have been married twice. When my first marriage ended, i was heartbroken, even though i was the one who ended it. I was still in love with him, but not like i was when we were first married. There was a lot of trouble in our marriage, my hubby even got with someone else, which seemed to him to be my fault, even though it wasnt. I didnt seem to pay him enough attention. I have a child to him, so there will always be something there, but not love. I dearly love my 2nd hubby, and cant imagine ever being without him. Hopefully we never fall out of love. Best wishes to you, donsky

What your boyfriend told you is perfectly correct. Almost everyone who falls in love, expects the other one to love him/her indefinitely. But when he/she suddenly feels that that is not so, then there is no wonder for him/her to feel bad and neglected. This will cause the split in the love life, as it had already caused in many's life. True love is something that should stay forever.

We sometimes fall out of love because we commit mistakes. . .it is a simple answer but deep meaning. . .

I think people fall out of love when, the person they immensely love and trust betrays them.

To answer that question I would have to start on the concept of falling inlove. Falling in love is actually falling out of love.Ironic it may seem but for me it is indeed true for people who have a very shallow concept of love. The term falling in love is actually a stage of blissful moments, getting to know each other stage, and most probably because one is inlove with the idea of being inlove. However, in the realm of what is the concept of love, when one has reached the peaked of the relationship where everything you do with your partner seems to be routinary, then thats the stage of falling out of love. Because there's nothing new to discover and do with your partner since you have known each other well. For me one will not fall out love when you love and accept the person despite the boredom accompanied by the relationship. When you find contentment in the relationship despite all the good and bad; It is when you can say you are truly in love and shouldn't be falling out of love.

I think this problem kind of stems from the fact that sometimes when two people are together for a long time, one or both of them might think they have to stop treating the other person special - they get too used to having the person there and forget that love is something that has to be tended to. I think an easy way to avoid this is to always remind the person you're with that you appreciate them. The more you do it the more likely they are to do it too, I think.
