Because some people forget that love takes work.
Just because you love someone does not mean you will keep on loving them if they do not do their part to keep love alive.
Look attractive for your partner and try to be the person they first met and fell in love with....
Things that kill love:
Criticism
Impatience
Infidelity
Jealousy
Boredom
If you both make it your goal to forget about yourself and do whatever it takes to make the other person happy you will have love.
Unfortunately in most relationships only one person is doing this and that won't work.

There are several reasons ppl fall out of love. I thin the main question should be, did you ever really love the person. Some fall out, due to bad relationships. Other's because ppl change and grow apart. I think most of that is caused by lack of communication! So, really..I think everyone has a different reason. Just depends on the situation.

Not all do, but I think most of the time is because people aren't willing to work. The truth is there may be a time in marriage where the sex may not be great. But, it can get better when the person learns one another and doesn't do the same things. Some people associate love with the sex no longer being great. So they assume they are out of love with another person. Others fight and cannot work it out so they think they have fallen out of love. It's a combination of things. My hubby and I haven't had these problems. We both like sex but it was not the forefront of our relationship and never has been. We are best friends, lovers, and companions. We have had our battles but never ever fallen out of love with each other.

LOVE is a many splendor thing. But remember, it is a four letter word, that is close to the opposite as SH*T is! But that's it in general, a word. It is all about what this person does to make you feel this four letter word, and not the opposite of it. Respect, honor, being there, communicating, showing gratitude, and spending time with you. All of these ingredients, make you feel, well, LOVEd. It's not sex, or control, or lies, or making you cry or sad. When these feelings of physical interaction disappear, these feelings of love do as well, such hence, "Falling out of love". But of course if the mental interaction was never there, support, communication, etc...it probably was not meant to be, and there really was no love anyhow, just infatuation. Appearance helps, but is not the element in true love. Physical is easy, mental is a challenge. Both together is never falling out of love.

The answer is easy. As people get older they mature and grow in different directions its not that they're not in love anymore its that as they were growing they didn't include the relationship in the growth. After dating a while people tend to stop communicating efficiently and they take love for granite. They think it will always be there but if you never develop and allow the love to grow as you grow you become set at a different level then you love is and it becomes not worth fighting for and so you just let go.

Life is about personal growth and change...people don't always grow at the same rate or change in the same way...what was a good match yesterday may no longer be a good match tomorrow.
There's nothing wrong with that...it's people that have made up some idea that love should last forever, but that's often just not reality.

I ask myself similar questions. I have been married to the same man for 10 years and it seems to me that all of a sudden he has fallen out of love or doesnt want to be in love anymore. I noticed that he has to purposefully be mean to me when we are around each other and I think its because like the other girl said, you dont fall out of love. I think he is forcing himself to be mad at me to justify whatever is happening in his life that he wont share with me at the present time. If you think you are falling out of love or someone is falling out of love with you...dont hesitate like i did. get to a marriage counselor. You only get 1 shot at true soul mate unconditional love that never ends. Dont make my mistake and let it go. Chase it and hold on with every bit of your heart and that person will come back if they are truly your soulmate. I wish I could do it differently and then maybe I would be happy and not sitting here typing this answer.

I think that people dont fall out of love. They probably never fell in love with that person to start of with.

When two people grow apart in a relationship, and dont grow together then they could fall out of love.

I think the best quote I ever read said this: The word love means nothing. How you treat the people you love means everything.
