Have you ever felt like you are falling out of love with your partner?

Answer 1

Yes, in fact I have... My girlfriend and I have been through a lot, maybe what you need to do (which I have done) is just take a break from your partner. If you are okay with him gone, then it's probably best if you two aren't together, but if you begin to miss him a lot, and think about him, and maybe even cry... then I would say it's safe to assume your still in love. I am still in love with my girlfriend, even after some really horrible things we have been through together... Are you falling out of love, or grieving over something that may have happend between the two of you? Try and figure all the facts out, and if you really think your falling out of love, and best if your not with him, then take that road.
Good luck!

Answer 2

I shouldn't be answering this question since I don't have a partner, but I feel compelled to say something.

I am constantly amazed and in awe of those who are in same-sex relationships, especially long term relationships. I know couples who have been together 6 years, 12 years, 20 years, even 25 years...and despite the ups and downs of their relationship they make an effort to keep it alive.

You folks give me hope. There are times when I feel that I will never find love, never be in a relationship, and will die alone. Then I look at your relationships and think WOW! They are so lucky to have found that person that they want to love and live with for the rest of their lives. I know relationships are a lot of hard work...but isn't any relationship a lot of hard work?

I believe that the key to any relationship is communication. No matter how difficult it may be, both parties need to be honest about their feelings, needs, desires, hopes, and dreams. Another key factor is compromise...sometimes we have to sacrifice something in order to make the relationship work.

Best of everything to you all. Big Bear Hugs!

Answer 3

Yes, I have. I've been with the same guy for 15 years now and for the last few years it's been more like a business relationship than anything. The sex ended more than 2 years ago due to lack of interest, I guess. I have remained celebate during this period, I have no clue if he is, nor do I really care.

Answer 4

Ay, mio. Que lastima.

All relationships have their up and down periods. Perhaps you are temporarily in a down period.

There are lots of things that can be done to "rekindle" a spark. One of the best things is to 'check in' and see where both of your current expectations are. If your needs aren't being met, it's possible he might not 100% realize what they are.

There's also the possibility that you both might realize that you no longer have much in common, and it would be better to dissolve the relationship. That would be sad.

Either way, discussing this is a good, open, thing to do.

Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes, and boy is it confusing because we are led to believe by books and movies that love last forever. Sometimes it does and sometimes it fades. I think the main reason this occurs is because each person in the relationship is constantly changing but not always in the same way or in ways that bring you closer together.

Answer 6

Sometimes I do. For the first time in well over a decade I've decided I'm taking a vacation without him this year. I want to go see pyramids in Mexico and he doesn't. I've wanted to do this for years and he doesn't want to leave the country. So I'm leaving him behind to fend for himself for a week. I hope he doesn't burn the house down.

Answer 7

Not really. I mean I have been mad or upset at things in the past but I always know where my heart is - even during those times when I would like to wring his neck!

Answer 8

You can't heat things up, if they don't cool down. Relax, and get your spark ready to start the flames again.
