How do people fall out of love?

Answer 1

They start taking each other for granted. Not appreciating each other. Soon it turns into more of a friendship or if they are living together - roommate status. No spark anymore.

Answer 2

People usually fall out of love because of change or misguided wants. One or both people in love may change and grow apart. One person may want a family and kids while the other one realizes that they just want to party for the time being. Also, you may start a relationship thinking that you want one type of mate, and during that relationship you realize you actually need something else. During a long relationship, there is a big chance that both parties will do a lot of changing, especially if they get together at a very young age. Sometimes, people change with each other and still share the same goals and wants and affections for each other. Other times, these changes bring about different wants and needs and they realize that they just need to move on.

Answer 3

I believe and understand that there is always a corner in your heart if you love some one, but it stops igniting due to the lack of interest in each other's activities... then the time comes when some other comes across as a healing to that silence and stir the very rich heart waiting to be loved ...and this is the time we start feeling that this 'some other' is the one who could carry forward the relation and the previous one was just not something love ! and this is the time we say it a 'fall out of love', isn't it, but some time our decision gets wrong and again 'we fall out of love' in search of a true love for ever.

Answer 4

First, you have to question if you were really in love to begin with. I think most people want to believe that they are in love because you are going through that euphoric phase in the relationship when you can't see any 'flaws' in the new love in your life. But once you get to know each other, and that first blissful phase passes, you may realize that you were with that person for the wrong reasons. Maybe you were tired of being alone; or you just wanted to get laid. Whatever the reason, you need to get to know someone before you say "I love you". It's too strong an emotion to be taken so lightly. Another reason could be very simple.... you've grown and changed. You start as a young, naive lover and over time, you become experienced. Priorities change you get older too.

Answer 5

They don't. They either never were actually in love (they were infatuated with something about their partner, such as looks or other qualities that can change or fade), or they have simply stopped maintaining a relationship because they expect it to be as strong as it was in the beginning automatically.

No relationship is ever "like it was in the beginning" because it goes right back to the infatuation thing we talked about right off. True love gets you past that and makes you realize you want to work for what the two of you can build beyond superficial things, including clinging to the past when you were probably in love with being in love itself as much as anything.

Thus, I don't think you "fall out of love." I think you just need to reevaluate the relationship to see if it was ever there and in what capacity.

Answer 6

I truly believe that over a period of time,by words that might have been spoken or by the actions that one might have made,face expressions,just alot of different things ,but i think the main one that kills the love that you might have for someone is if you ever catch them in a lie towards you or cheating on you.The list can go on and on,but the thing is to stay in love and to do that you must be willing to give as much as you are willing to receive,and to listen,not just be the talker.It takes two to tango,and it is no different in loving that special someone in your life ,it is up to that person if they want it to last for a life time,and when they come to that conclusion,then there should not be hurtful spoken words on purpose or face expressions that are hurtful and so on.This is my opinion,it might be totally different from yours,but i hope it helped you some how or just alittle maybe!Good Luck to you!

Answer 7

Since lust/physical needs takes you over, people start falling out of love.

Answer 8

1. Regular fights; 2. Losing trust; 3.Bored with each other; 4. Money matters! 5. No common likes and dislikes and disagreements with most of the things. 6. Most of all lose interest with each other.

Answer 9

Time....

If you go through time without appreciating your spouse, taking them for granted and not telling them how much you love them everyday -- it is just so easy to fall out of love.

Say your sorry, when you fight, kiss them hello when you see them and always show them that you love them. So many people, just go through life not appreciating what they have until its too late. Sadly, I can speak from experience.

Answer 10

The fire down below goes out. 'Loving' and 'being in love' are two way different things. Once you truly love each other, lust is not so important anymore. I can't believe I just typed that - but, damnit, it's true!
