My thought is that it just doesnt happen at once- but over time. People forget to keep working on the relationship- they get too comfortable and assume the other person will always be there. My husband left after 6 yrs.- together 3 before we got married. Difference is i wanted to try and he didnt. I wish he wouldve said something before it got to that point...but- you cant change someone. Some people think they are ready for commitment but really arent. Sux but true. Good luck to you.

Well, it all depends on the person. If the person was in love or just staying in the marriage until an opportunity for him or her arised so that they can leave.
Some couples lasts until one or the other passes on. But other people may grow out of love because they have either out grown each other or just simply tired of their relationship. Some people fall out of love after 20 years..but it depends on how each one feels about one another.
But yeah, it can and it does happend!

You don't fall out of love just because the person hasn't changed. You get familiar, and bored. You can't be in each others pockets every day for every year for the rest of your lives, you need space to develop and enjoy your own interests. But you could also try and examine your partners interests. See what makes them happy and see if you could tag along. If you find it interesting, enjoy it together, otherwise let them have that space on their own. That goes for both partners.

There as many answers to this as there are questions.
My ex-wife and I got a divorce after 24 years of marriage. I still love her, but she began to run everything, and although I gave her plenty of opinions, she continued. I did the only thing I could to retain my independence.
It is tough! A councilor or your close friends might be able to help you out.
God Bless you and give you peace

If love is nurtured thats how. If the man/woman doesnt show their mates they are appreciated, if they don't do the little things that show they care. If they dont show affection and make the other person feel good then sure it doesnt matter how many years its about showing love and its about keeping love alive.

It's doesnt happen all of a sudden. It's happens on a daily basis over time. Communication ceases, respect dwindles, enjoyment dissipates.......til one day, one decides it's empty

Easy. Things wear out --- teeth, tires, clothing, and marriages. We were never supposed to live as long as we do.... Get some counseling...Things can be fixed, too.
