Wow, I JUST got out of a two year relationship with my girlfriend where i was putting in all the effort (at least at the end anyway).
The easiest way to tell is... you're asking this question!! Simple right? Yes, when you are 'in love' (you and your partner love each other) you don't have these sort of doubts (well not often anyway)...
I have been in a few relationships and I felt that when I was 'in love' it was the time in the relationship where time 'flew' by and we didn't have a lot of disagreements and my friends only heard good things about the relationship. However when we started falling 'out of love' I was stressed, questioned myself and eventually questioned the relationship, whilst also bothering all my friends about the fine (and not so fine) points...
Easiest way to tell is... Do you miss them while they're gone?
Although some people who do get out of a relationship do 'miss' that person, generally if you can go an evening without seeing them and not 'miss' them, then two evenings etc. You know you're getting over them and it wasn't meant to be.
Good luck whatever you do.

Emotion is not love!
The hairy fairy feelings, the butterflys in the stomach is not love.
This stage of romance usually phases out within a few months.
Thought is the foundation of love when you truly love someone that person becomes the focus of your thoughts this part of love occurs in the soul.
If you have rapor you have a good chance of making it through the next phase of the relationship.
Take care!

"Falling out of love" is a natural phase of being marriage (which I figure you must be, since the category is Marriage & ...).
That's where "agape" love comes in; no marriage can endure without it, since that feeling "in love" will pass in and out of a lifelong marriage.
Divorce is high because our culture has sold us the lie (through ads and sit-coms) that we must always be "in love" with our spouse.
Talk with some couples who have been married 30 - 40 - 50 years. Believe me, they are not staying together "for the sake of the children." Their marriages have endured because they have experienced all three forms of love.
Pray for your (eros) love for your spouse to reignite. It will happen! Do not give up 5 minutes before the miracle. GOD bless.

Good question. Because alot of people think the HONEYMOON phase lasts forever. So when a couple get over that they think they arent in love anymore. But it moves into a new phase that will last forever if you give it the time. some people stay in honeymoon phase all their lives but its not very often that happens. True love will prevail. Good luck

if you "fell in love" you were a shallow plastic mo.
love does not overcome or dominate us. it originates in our hearts and grows from maturity and respect for another person.
"falling out" of anything is modern day lingo for being immature and shallow.
love is a verb, an action word. you love someone when you want the best for them. how you act on that notion determines the quality of person you really are.

When the laugh you used to think was so cute is annoying. When the snoring you used to find comforting keeps you awake. When the love of watching sports seems to take up more time than it should. When the chance to make love seems more like a chore than a thrill. When he leaves the toilet seat up....etc.

If you think you are falling out of love were you ever truly in love in the first place?

When other things start to take priority or more importance over your significant other and you no longer go out of your way to make sacrifices for them. When what's important to them is no longer important to you- basically the opposite of falling in love.

You will feel it. There wil be no doubt. You will find yourself not wanting to be around the other person, not wanting to make love to them, not talk much to them, etc. However, you can fall back into love sometimes. Just sometimes.
