Well, not all experiences this. But if you experienced it, how then will you tell it to your partner? How you will handle the changes?
Love is the most powerful feeling one could ever had. But if it is already lost, will you still have the power and courage to face the truth?

Well, I was in love with a girl for a short period and so was she. But, it only lasted for 6 months and not more. I fell out of it and just walked out. When I realised I couldn't be in the relationship anymore, I told her I can't continue with it and just ended it. But still she was intent on continuing it and kept trying on me for a year, but I had a tough time avoiding her. Yes, when it's over it's over and you have to face it. You have to be bold. No point in lying to yourself and to your partner and living a false relationship.

I would like to add more. It's not that I wasn't concerned about her. It's just that our maturity didn't match. And there were other reasons too. It was a one-way traffick. And there was no give and take and compromise. A lot of things didn't work and she was hurrying me for marriage as well, when I wasn't ready for it. So, when you get pressurized, often, there is no love, rather it becomes more of abiding by condition.

i do think we sooner or later realise that what we thought was love was realy simply lust or infactuation. Its a case of maturity. If you are fully grown it is unlikely that a feeling as profound as love could change. However, if you are immature then you may well confuse a variety of emotions with love. Of course, these can change over time. This however is not growing out of love, it never was love in the first place
blessed be

Hi there! I actually experienced this with my two exes. The first one was hurting me physically everytime he gets mad and jealous. I used to really love him too much but one day, thankfully, I woke up tired of our relationship and I gues I eventually fell out of love for him. I broke up with him and told him that I fell out of love and I won't put up with his ways anymore. The other one, I fell out of love with because he's been taking me for granted and I fell in love with another man. I told him that I don't love him anymore that I'm in love with a new man. It's really hard but sometimes, it gets more painful to the other party when you try to sugarcoat the truth. It may appear to the other person that you're playing him or her for a fool so I guess it's better to tell the truth, it usually is.

It really depends on the reasons that triggered us to fall out of love.

hello izathewzia,I've never experienced falling out of love but I do know when it happens,it sucks.I've always been in failed relationships and guys leave me for some reason.But that doesn't break me,I'm now in love with a very nice Catholic man and he makes me fall in love with him,everytime.I believe love IS the most powerful feeling for two people to feel and enjoy.I know this may sound cliche' but I'll never feel I'll fall out of love.But if God made me fall out of love,I'd just have to go through the unbearable pain for me & the other person of falling out of love.I'd just have to brace myself;)

Very good attitude. Just be ready when it happens...which i hope really not. But we don't have control of everything.

I haven't experienced that and I sure don't wish to ever have to go through it. Being married now for six years and raising a son, things can be very complicated if I do fall out of love with my husband. For one thing, I just can't pack up my bags and walk out of my husband's life. We have a son and if I have to choose, I choose what my son would feel.
I'm not very good at hiding what I truly feel. If I do feel out of love with my husband, I'll find the right way and the right time to tell it to him. He deserves the right to know. And I don't want to hurt him more by lying to him and making a fool out of him.

well, for me, I wont let myself fall out of love. The moment I felt that there is something wrong going on between us, I will immediately refocus myself in our relationship and see what is going wrong, then once again try to blow the flame of love to its hottest level. I believe that we can do some repair in a relationship just before we say that we really fall out of love. If in the case that you already do your best to make things work, and still nothing happens, thaen taht would be the right time to say goodbye.

It is kinda hard to do that. But if you can, I think it will be much better than falling out.

I think that if I have fallen out of love, I will talk to my partner and we will together analyze it and will try to fix it without letting it go from worse to worse in order to maintain the good relationship to have the family go on smoothly. I won't let it unsolved silently.

Very good suggestion. talk it with your partner before totally giving up. If it is the only solution that remains.

You need to be honest with the person. It's hard to hear those things, but wouldn't you rather be happy knowing that they are happy doing something else than being miserable with you, or the other way around.

Honesty is the best policy. Although it hurts most of the time.
