i am addressing this question to the men out there who has so to speak "fallen out of love." I know it happens to ladies too but guys... admit it, you are the ones most likely having these issues. And this is the same question that would lurk in every woman out there and keeps them wondering, "what must we ladies do to prevent our man slipping through our fingers?" Gentlemen... Dont you like it when we pamper you? Why do you get so bored? Are we ladies overdoing too much for you? Do you need distance? If we do give you distance, what guarantee can you give us that would assure you'd always come back to us?

Well sorry to displease you but this is more common in women now a days, won't you agree? The simplest possible way to attest this would be if you simply keep on reading some of the mylot posts more keenly. I find it a purely sexist comment to blame a person based on their gender. It could just as well happen to a woman as much as a man.

I have to agree with you bodhisatya and it's good to see you being so polite about this. I also agree with the responder above you as to the reasons why men fall out of love. The same reasons apply to women. An immature person will simply be in love with the idea of being in love...they really have no idea what love and marriage is about and their marriage vows are just a bunch of meaningless words.

It is simple. Because they will love an other woman or their girlfiends would not do anything to keep them so we get bored.

if a couple are open and honest there would be no one who, has so to speak "fallen out of love".

Well I am not a guy but certainly know quite a few like you mention. Many women take their relationships for granted and no longer go that extra mile. Remembering when they first started out women would smell extra perfumy, style their hair more frequently and carried themselves in a certain way. For some reason when in that relationship this does not happen any longer therefore the men begin to see things differently. Works both ways for men and women, the feeling of routine and boredom also would cause a man to no longer feel that same feeling of excitement and adventure. Works both ways for men and women.

a true lovers can't bore from each other. a tip for husbands if you want to not bore from your wives then send them after every three months to their mothers home for 20 or 30 days it will refresh you. and your love will be remain always. distance is good but not long short distance.

This situation is not limited to males. (It's pretty ridiculous and insulting that you would suggest differently) Marriage needs a very strong commitment as well as hard work from both. It's not up to one of a couple to work at keeping things going, it's up to both of them. Many people marry when there is some sort of ridiculous pressure whether real or imagined placed on the members of the families involved and so many newly weds are in fact not ready to settle down to married life. Some people just do not place any value on the promises they made to each other when they marry and some people are just looking for love when they are in a loveless marriage. Some people are just nasty and don't care about anything or anyone but themselves and they do what they want without worrying about right and wrong.

A nagging wife sends a man out. :) .. We us men loved to be pampered and taken care of. We want a cook, a cleaning lady, a lover and wife in one package. Unfortunately this will not happen.

Hi Grace What you say is not applicable to all men, just some as you say, similarly some women are bored with their men, may be husband or bf.. We have a neighbor she keeps relation with many men, when asked, she says, i am like bread, that needs different curries to make it tasty.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

I think men gets bored with their girlfriend or wife because they tend to do things over and over again. in short they do things as a routine so the excitement is not their already. I suggest that we think of things to do in a relationship that will add spice in it so that our partner will not get bored.

i think some men get bored of thier girlfriends/wives for so many reasons.One of the top is being nagger of some women,others seems get bored of thier women bacause they already forget theirselves and looks miserable.Because as we know some women forgot to drees up beautifully bacause of so many things to do taking care of thier family. But for me,maybe men falls out of love for being away for too long,because of thier jobs...at times they meet so many people most especially women,and fall in love of them,for being close and soon, cannot detach from them.But that's only my opinion,i know some men too,stays too to thier women inspite of bieng away for too long.

Hi! In my country is a proverb: "Men is like a child!" So,you know that children want always a new toy,even in their room are boxes with toys!And when they get a new one,they see that the new toy isn't better than one which already have,sometimes is worse than it!But they want always new toys! Men is like these children:they want a "new toy" LOL,even the new one is worse! All the best and happy lotting!

do you know why? bcs i guess most part of guys dont like to be cared much or they get bored. its true bcs im always caring to guys and they always act careless to me. so i guess they like more when we girls are a challenge to them. guys like challenges thats why they do so much while courting a girl but when we accept them already they feel they dont need to continue their efforts bcs we are already with them. what is very silly bcs we always like to be cared and loved. but they are too lazy to always show us what we mean to them. thats why sometimes they look to other girls bcs they feel bored having just care and care. thats why i always try to create a bit of arguements so relationship doesnt get bored and he doesnt feel the need to look for other girl ahah boys are like children they always need a new toy so we need to be hard to get or else they get tired of us and look for new thing to play with.

If someone is getting bored with his wife, I surely tell that he has lack of love with his wife. If he have full of love with her, bore will not occur there because if he loves his wife each and every actions of her made him enjoyed well and looks like a precious moment in his life.

Graceekwenx I think its more like some men fallout of lust asthey were players to start with that thought to settle down and found they had to have the variety that a player needs,its lust any pretty girl will do for a time.I do not think that they were ever in real love because in real love you join a mate for the long haul and cannot fall out of love as it only improves with time.So no the men fell out of lust as they did not even know what real love is to begin with.

I even ask that myself a couple of times. I do have past girlfriends before and it did come to a point where my feelings started to fade. And the relationship no longer exciting and therefore must be stop. Good thing my ex also feel the same way. It's really hard to imagined why feelings changed even if there is no major factors that influenced it. Maybe I get bored of her because she is not really the one for me. She is not my soul mate yet. I got to find that one person who will perfectly satisfy me in emotional level. As for the husband getting bored with their wives that is totally wrong. If you marry her that means you love her so why feeling bored after all.

I'm a wife and I shouldn't be answering this. But I am, however, stating my husband's point of view about this. He is weak not to resist what is new. It gives him the thrill and excitement. His needs to feel like he is a man is stronger than being faithful and loyal. Thus, being his wife, he thought that it is normal that I need him. What is unknown gives him a different hype from what is already known to him. I guess, both man and woman got bored with each other because they forgot to reinvent themselves as they grow older together.It shouldn't be the case. One way or another , we still must possess a little mystery once in a while for our hubands/wives. :)

I think men are too immature that they resort to things like this. If you married a man then he totally understands the vows you made during marriage, if you married a boy then there is a possibility of disloyalty.

well, based from my x bf, when things became such a routine he began starting fights already. Which, for a 34 years old, is way too childish!I hate it, really. When things starts to be such a routine.. I think of ways for it not to be a routine. I suggest stuffs that would make us bond together, but if the guy start picking fights then its GOODBYE!
