..do you believe that there is such thing as running out of love? can people really stop loving someone they "used" to love?...if that is true, wouldn't it be right to say that what they feel for that someone is not really a love?...there are couples who broke up for this certain reason...but in my point of view, when you love someone, when you confess that you love that person, you will love him/her for the rest of your life..loving is a broad word, it means everything, to care, to understand..etc..but I wanna hear your opinion...is there really such thing as "running out of love"?...

you can not clap with single hand. some times that may happen that you are in real love with some girl and she is not serious with you at all, you try to give your every thing to her, your love,time,emotions and everything but in return you get nothing, not even her love. then you become annoyed and try or automatically change your self because love begets love and if you do not get love in return you change your party. i dont want to say that it is a good act to change your party, but how long will you stay and love and other is trying to cheat on you? i think you must not love a cheat?

Perhaps it's not love in the first place. It may either be lust or infactuation which give out false signal just as real. Although no one has ever measured the depth of love, it is undeniably as deep to hold the universe. True love should not run out.

Observing people as well as relationships nowadays, I get to wonder sometimes if there really is a "true love". Are there really soul mates? Yes, we do fall in love but we also can fall out of love sometimes. I believe that for a relationship to last, both partners involved should first and foremost be friends with each other. There should be respect, trust, and loyalty. Both should do their bests to make the relationship work. If only one of the partners is exerting effort, and the other one acting so carefree then time will come that love would wane and later may be gone forever. Gone forever is even better because many couples nowadays, get to separate from each other both burdened with hatred in their hearts. Not so very good response but I'm certain that there are cases like this.

you are right about we say i love you is we want be with person forever but if the person loves you much and cares much like you. i loved my ex much he lived away from me a guy wanted date me in my country and i refused bcs i really loved him i would even risk my life bcs was a dangerous country where he lives for him and it was always me caring the most. he always acted careless, i cried and almost got sick bcs of him. one day my love started to disappear and i told him and we ended things. we must be honest. also true love is when both care much. i cant deny i loved him bcs i really was crazy for him. but he wasnt my destiny.

Hi, i don't know if i would call it running out of love. But I will say that love, while rooted in strenght and trust can be very fragile. Love is a two way street, it is something that must be nurtured and encouraged. It is something that needs strengthening constantly or like a flower begins to die. Two people that are truly in love will continue to nurture the love they have for each other. They will not take the love for granted but spend the rest of their lives expressing their appreciation towards each other. Love is not only loving but also being loved because when one feels love their loves grows. Simply saying "I love you" is not enough to nurture the love for the rest of one's life. Believe it or not it is not as easy as it sounds or as it looks. So instead of saying, "running out of love," I would say "dying for lack of nourishment."

I'm one of the "run out of love" person. I did love my husband, I thought we were happy together, than something happened and I sealed myself, feeling like nobody could understand me, not even him. And he couldn't, actually. Because we hadn't been talking to each other since the beginning, never really talking about our inner self. So, when I was discovered cancer I started struggling by myself, and when I knew I was healthy again I looked around and I was alone. Did my husband love me? yes. Did I love him? Yes, too. As much as I decided not to bother him with my problems... but love was not enough. I started feeling alone and realizing I didn't want the life I was living. I started running out of love and when I realized it it was too late already. But I still care for him. I just can't live with him anymore, don't love him as a partner. I still think that is a kind of love. Linda
