how will you know that your love has faded?

If you didn't love him, you wouldn't quarrel with him... you would tell him to take a hike, and the same goes for him. It may be the pressure of Christmas and New Year releasing itself that is causing you to argue, or you just might be going through a bad patch. The fact that he doesn't hurt you any more is probably that you know he doesn't mean it in a way that hurts you, or you're just plain getting used to his ways. If you think you don't love him any more, it's time to move on, before you ruin a good friendship.

I have been going through the exact same thing. I have wondered if maybe his love has faded for me since he has been so mean. But I was wrong, it hasn't faded, he just hasn't been able to handle all of the stress that we have had to go through lately with bills and family. I don't think that your love has faded if you don't get hurt by the things he's saying. I think that you know he doesn't mean it, so you don't let it hurt you. I do that a lot. If I was to get upset everytime my man said something mean to me, I would have been crying a lot lately. He does other things and says things that lets me know that he does care about me. Most of all he keeps making excuses for why he has been such a jerk lately. If you think he means what he is saying, then I guess your love will fade eventually. If you have been able to not let it hurt you, then that is a good thing, whether he means to hurt you or not.

yea this will happened sometimes when the understanding of both are different

well, i guess its ur respect for him that u understand he doesnt mean the hurtful things he says...and in ur heart u forgive him for that...it doesnt mean that u r turning into a robot...in fact, in my opinion, it only means that ur feelings are growing so strong for him tht u dont let these little things ruin your relashionship :)

i think that is just one sign that your love has faded because you don't care that you might lose him anymore but you must still consider this with other signs like coldness and your interest to things that you usually do together.

there are so many signs if you have fallen out of love. to name a few: you don't enjoy being with your bf/gf, if your together your thinking of something else or someone else, you don't keep things he has given you, everytime he sends a text message you'd rather not reply or think you'll just waste your load and you forget special occasions like your anniv or his/her birthday.
