Can over time feelings change? Or is it a rut and need to fix it? What do you think?

Hey dangnabit, I love your name by the way. I always get a chuckle when I type it.Lol. Of course, but I don't put much value in the whole "in love", "out of love" concept. Those are feelings. Love is not a feeling. Love is a commitment. We have this weird sense of what love is and its usually wrong. Let's take this question: "Do I love my wife?" But let's stop using the word love as a noun. Use it as a verb. Do I love my wife, now asks what I am DOING to love her. What do I do day to day to love her? If I can't answer that in a positive way, it is my fault that there are no feelings. Am I helping around the house? Do I give her a footrub? Do I take care of the kids so she can rest? Do I do nice things for her? etc. It works the other way too. What is she doing to love me? If we spent more time DOING the work of love and less time worrying about FEELING love, our marriages would be in much better shape. We can't control our spouse but I think it is each of our responsiblities to do our part. Then if our partner decides not to do their part, we can have a peace of mind knowing we did everything we could.

Yes you can fall out of love. Just like falling in love it takes time. You have a chance to regain those in love feelings, before they are gone, but if issues are not addressed as soon as possible, then it just gets harder to get those feelings back. Relationships take work.

You are so right. It is a lot of work-why should love be work? Who likes work? LOL I do understand what you are saying.

No one likes work. It should only take work when there is enough love to counteract the work. Once the work turns in to being more than its worth, then you have come to a problem, in which you might need to reconsider your ideas of he relationship.

Yes, it is very possible to fall out of love. People grow, and a lot of the times they grow apart instead of together. Hence why there is so many divorces. Nothing in life comes with a guarntee.

Yes, definitely! I fell out of love with my ex-fiance because of the total lack of respect he had for me and because of the way he used to treat me and yes, he cheated too. Of course it varies from couple to couple. Some couples just lose interest in eachother. What brought them together in the first place no longer exists or it could simply be that the relationship [b][/b][i][/i]is in a rut and just need some excitement. It basically depends on your individual situation.
