I do believe you can fall out of love..If you get bored with the relationship,,there is no spark anymore,or they do something awful and you just cant forgive them..all of that can make you fall out of love.Though some may disagree with my on this point, I feel that love - TRUE love - isn't something that ever really goes away..!Can you "fall out" of true love? No, you cannot. But Can you "fall out" of an infatuation or lust? Yes, you can! what do you think?

To this date, I had been in and out of love several times, that is to confirm that we can fall out of love. I know that love has many faces, but I have not found a true love, as told in books and movies. So, I could not say about true love.

Hi Crazy, :) I think there is some crest and trough in every relationship. During courting, mundane issues like washing clothes, cooking, cleaning house, and other chores are not there in the issue, so love does seem rosy, especially with the help it gets from some chemicals released by the body. After marriage, the chores start disturbing that chemical process, and realization dawns that the romantic movie is over! It is upto the people involved to make a sequel, or discontinue it from there. In the trough phase, it is necessary to be more loving to bring it up to the crest level and in crest phase, it is necessary to be realistic as going too high might make the trough seem rather deep. Inability to forgive comes because of extreme highs and extreme lows. But you dont have to conform to my opinion. My opinion is mine alone!

Falling out of love is always a possibility in any relationship. We have to nurture our relationships or the love can fade away. We have to have enough emotion and commitment to see love through.

yes...i strongly believe you can fall out of love. and i agree that wen u get bored with the relationship or your partner itself, like instead of getting excited wenever you see him you feel so annoyed. instead of thinking of the things you wanted to do with him, you think of ending the time your spending with him or even try to find an excuse not to see him. there are a lot of reasons why you might fall out of love. it could be that your not happy with him anymore. i can relate to that coz i had once a relationship that i feel out of love. he was a boyfriend you can be so proud of.romantic, very much thoughtful and really treats me as a princess. but then why did i fell out? i knew it was coming. he was too good for me. i wanted someone that wud sometimes contradict to my opinions. someone i can debate with. i felt there was no challenge. whenever we have a fight though i know i started it or that i know it was my fault, he was always ready to apologize which i didnt like. o dont like his being my underdog. so i fell out of love.

For real, I think falling in love is not really good but standing firm in love...who is on my side in this issue?

you can fall out of love when you don't see each other a long time ago..

Love like any other emotions, hatred, sadness, fear, happiness, could be fleeting. One moment it is there giving you all that blissful feeling, the next time, it is no longer there as if it has never come upon you. Sadly, even true love could not sustain its existence. But, the determination and decision to stay in a loving relationship can keep us all feeling in love even if deep inside us, we already fall out of love. Love comes and goes. That is my two cents worth.:-) Have a lovely day, Crazy_Poster.;-)

U can fall in love anytime without your knowledge but falling lot of love takes time if you have had a pure love for that person and they did not know your worth. My advice is that never fall in love. Rise In Love. Make sure that they understand your worth before you take a plunge!

If you can fall 'in' you can also fall 'out' of love. It's possible for whatever reason. It's like the tide sometimes.

I believe it is completely possible to "fall out of love." I have loved before and I know from experience that there are many different types of love. It is not as simple as love for family, for friends, and for lovers. There are special feelings we denote to each individual. I can say that I love some of my friends more than I love some of my family. There are several reasons for these feelings, but most of it has to do with the personal relationship I share with each individual. When it comes to the relationships between lovers it is even more complicated. When a relationship begins the couple is not in love...at least not right away. Over time we fall might "in love" with that person. At this point you cannot picture your life without them. These feelings could last a lifetime. However, no matter what happens these feelings will change. Change is not necessarily a bad thing. In time the couple may love each other more over time, or they could grow apart and go in separate directions. Outside factors always have an impact on emotion. But in the end the way we feel has everything to do with us. I don't know a lot about true love. The only thing I know for certain is that once I fall "in love" with someone a part of me will always love them. They will always hold a special place in my heart that is reserved for only them. I still get butterflies when I see them, and I still miss them. It gets better over time. Just because I am no longer "in love" with them does not mean I do not love them anymore. I just can't see myself spending the rest of my life knowing that we are unhappy together...that we don't work as a couple.

Yes I believe we can fall out of love, more so than we can re-kindling a love. I think that the brain is much more powerful than the heart and well once it is instilled in your brain nothing will change it. When you say perhaps it was lust, quite possibly but it could also be that the love was just not as strong as one believed it would be.

i don't believe that someone can fall out of love...if it's really love that you felt...it will be hard to fall out of love even if there's no more spark in between the two of you.., no more magical feelings and such..., maybe you get bored but you don't fall out of it.. maybe if you didn't love enough.. it can possibly slipped a bit... or if it's just physical attraction..it will definitely fade away...nothing beats true love..=_=

I believe it's possible to fall out of love. Kinda like one day your crazy for someone and then the next day... theres nothing, you think of them as a friend and theres nothing. Just friendship, but sometimes you fall for them again...

That's an interesting topic. I believe that one can fall out of love. It is also important if that was true love or something ephemeral. I think that if it was true love and you want to forget somebody, then it is quite hard to erase the feelings (and eventually replace them to the love for another one); and even if we think we fell out of love (and we may truly have done that), there still may be moments of nostalgia and memories that can make you say 'why didn't it work out well?'. However, if there was a true, deep love (that was mutual), there must be chances that everything goes really well. If it wasn't mutual and the one we love doesn't respond back, then this is quite a strong reason to forget everything and move on.
