Hello Nivedita, Glad to be responding to a discussion from a fellow Indian :) I think most of the times, the reason to fall out of Love is that the couple never loved each other enough. Students in school and college start looking for "someone" to be with, because they see their friends having a boyfriend/girlfriend and they WANT to be with someone. Then, time slowly passes by and the college gets over, they get busy with their own lives and then one of them does not have enough time for the other person. This is the most common reason for people to fall out of love, according to my observation. Thanks and happy mylotting

Hi, More than Boredom,i think EXPECTATION Not Met! when we fall in Love, We build castle in air,expecting lots of things in RETURN. Very seldom we r ready to Compromise,sacrifice in Love. Result is Frustration ...Break up is the End-Result. =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

I think there is some truth in the saying 'familiarity breeds contempt'. If you spend too much time with a person, those cute little habits you were once so fond of become really irritating! Also, people change as they get older and have a wider experience of life. There are many social, financial, health pressures that can affect relationships.

I think its not just boredom. Some people just really tends to get tired of things easily. And I guess, if you are with your partner every moment and every day, little by little you will lose the excitement of being with him/her. Some just needs a little break to breath. There would be really no definite description why people falls out of love.

nobody is going to like hearing this... but think about it. when you fall out of love it is generally because YOU are not pleased somehow... you don't feel special any more, you don't get the same physical benefits or emotional benefits or whatever benefits. People fall out of love because we are selfish creatures. We make the mistake of thinking that love will just happen to us and that it should just keep on happening. Love must be made. Love is a choice. Love takes work to choose to make it work. it is not always easy. nothing worth having is easy. it is the easy thing to break it off and just quit.
