Often times we are attracted to those who exhibit positive qualities that we wish we had (such as confidence, social standing, friendliness, etc.) and don't seem to have the negative qualities that we see in ourself (such as insecurity, moodiness, etc.).
Over time, perhaps by hanging out with those people, we are able to nurture their positive qualities in ourselves, and we come to see that they posess in some measure the same negative qualities that we do.
This happens in every relationship. If the "love" at this point of transition in the relationship is still based on these things, the magic is gone. If however, we've come to love the deeper and less definable qualities inside them, love continues (note that this often requires that the individual themselves become more mature).

In most case according to my experience, I am 55, People expect too much from other people, and when they do not receive what they expect or are disappointed, they stop loving others. If you really love someone you do not have to expect to receive, focus on give and you will be happy

people sometimes just grow apart; grow in different directions, lose respect for each other. Could be numerous reasons. Just because a relationship ends, does not mean it failed. Not every relationship is meant to last a lifetime. If you learned even one thing from a past relationship, then it was worthwhile. It's how we grow.

As you grow the things you like and dislike change.
When you were 10 and liked to play with toys was changed when you were 20 and liked to play with boys, and when you become 30 you won't like the noise, But it's your own kids that are playing with the toys

Fear and pain. If you get burned placing your hand on a hot flame, how many times are you going to do it until you realize...STOP PLACING YOUR HAND ON THAT FLAME!? I think people fear love because of what it has done to them in the past.

They grow apart quit communicating with each other. don't do activities with each other...sad but so ofter true and take each other for granite. That is why it is always a good idea to give counseling a try. there's a reason your together try to get back to that point.

That's a good question. I am not exactly sure, but I think that people tire of each other.
