Falling out of LOVE?

we all the know the permanent thing in this world is change. and some people are not meant to be for one another. actually, i am proud of those people who are brave enough to break up with their gf/bf even though they've been together for so long. the thing is, i have this friend and she's with her bf for four years now. even though she fell out of love with her bf, she chose to stay coz they swore to each other that they'll be serious only to realize that she'll be suffering more.

Most of the reason to these questions are personal. But i think in any case, it's impatience,lack of respect for each other, poor communication and distrust.If you loose trust in the person you confide in, i tell you, you can hate that person and so you will not like the presence of that person which will lead to separation and break-up eventually. Make sure you really love someone before you marry him/her. True love will overcome all these obstacles in marriage because they are inevitable.

my ex-boyfriend and i had been together for 6 years before i finally decided to break up with him. 4 years into the relationship, the fights became more frequent and it's no longer fun being together. we just grew apart. i think the reason we didn't call it quits was we kept thinking we've been through a lot already and because we promised each other earlier in our relationship that we would stay together till the end. we were afraid that we might regret it if we broke up. and then i met my present boyfriend which just made me realize i was with the wrong guy. my boyfriend and i are now together for 2 years. we're happy and still very much in love. no more promises of forever. what matters is focusing on the present and making each moment count.

well attimes its time ,or excessive involvement in things attimes its attraction and there are so many factors involved in falling out of love ..

Well, me and my boyfriend is turning 6 years this coming June. It really came to a point where I wanted to give up. The longer you stay with each other, the more you kno wthat person. The more you know that person, the more you realise the good, and specially the bad traits. You don't get satisfied. You want more. Then comes the thought that maybe you could find someone else who is more. There are also times that you think your relationship has come to the end of the line, where you have already explored everything, and that you feel there's nothing more to exlore. In my case I really love my boyfriend. That love overpowers the fatigue, stress, pressure, and the boredom of sticking to the same person and saying i love you to him everyday single day. I don't know if you have another opinion. I'd like to hear/read it.

i have bf before and it takes us 4 years of relationship then in a split of a time, you will know that you are falling out of love on him.. maybe because, the feeling seems o be gone.. and dont know why!

i know it's sad,but it's true,people will never be satisfied with what they have.Maybe in all those 8 years there wasnt a single man who could have win the heart of the girl,and suddenly he arrives and and the girl dumps your friend.Maybe the love is just gone,they dont feel attraction anymore towards their partner.

some relationships just dont work i guess.. my friends also broke up with her boyfriend of 8 years.. people just get so familiar with their partner that they forget the excitement of starting something new.. so when they met someone new they feel excited again and fall for the other person...

I think kebpete is right about one thing. Most of the time it starts out as lust. After the lust has used itself up (for the lack of better words), couples find they just don't like each other as much as they thought. Sometimes couples just find that they are not compatible. It's important that a couple support one another. Find out what the goals of each other are and let them pursue them. Let each other be who they are. You should never think you can change someone to what you want them to be. Communication is also very important. If I can't talk to my husband (have a conversation with him) then I could get very lonely in our relationship. Couples should like each other, respect one another, and comfort each other when they need it. I was married to a man whom I "disliked" for 10 years of our marriage, 17 years altogether. 10 years of our life wasted on each other. That's how I feel about that. Now I'm married to man I love and respect. I don't want to do or say anything to hurt him and I believe he feels the same way. It's like the other day while he was at work, I was just really fed up with something about him. Before he came home, I decided I was going to say this to him and say that to him. But when he walked in the door, I couldn't say anything to him about that. I just love him to dag gone much to talk to him the way I had planned. Neither of us have talked to each other that way. Later, we discussed the problem calmly and reached a solution. That's what happens when you really love someone. Criticizing him would have just put him on the defense. I will never understand why a person says they love someone but turn around and treat them worse than they would treat their enemy. It doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry I guess I'm venting. I still have issues with my first husband. Both of us were immature and dumb as a box of rocks. This is what I've learned over the years.
