this idea just came into my mind. i don't know why and how i heard someone said that they separated because when she woke up one day, she realized that she fall out of love with his husband. do you think its possible? i dont think that you'll just realize it in one click of a hand that you no longer love your husband. you have a commitment and it is supposed to be kept forever. it is the most sacred commitment that you have ever done and should be guarded no matter what it will cost you. i consider it ridiculous to say someone said those lines. if you really want to be free again then go get a divorce or annulment. but dont use that reason because nobody will believe in you.

I do think that is possible if one or both would not really work on their relationship anymore. I guess there are times that in a relationship the intimacy and romance may go down the slump and if one or both would not work it out then it is possible that you may wake up one time and feel you don't love the person you are with now.

I think it happens with other couples getting tired of each other, the romance has stop, or one of them closed her/him mind to open up to new things and that where it starts the bordom, some stop sharing life together, or one was left out and was taken forgrunted. We can't judge them everyone commits mistakes cause their just humans and have feelings to feel this way. Usually the reasons are incompatibility, abandonment, alot of things to go on for anullment or devorce, but we don't have devorce here. I think we all deserve to be happy then making our life miserable. I know and feeling seeing friends who's life once complete, and now they just wanna be alone. We can't tell what lies in the future. Nor all marriage is made and heaven, and just turns out it was just a broken dreams and a broken vows. Still life has to go on and on searching for happiness for them. Nothing stays permanent in this world but only yourself. In love you can't ask for a return. What is important is feeling love then not having love at all. Once I was so idealistic, and learned life the hardway and everything change my outlook in life when you got hurt and the pains but I learned life from this. Everyone has a reason, and it's only time can tell. Have a nice day!

This is so possible. Not that it has happened to me. Of course, I'm sure there was already something that triggered the decision and it did not really happen overnight. Maybe what happens is the realization one day that the person just does not love her/his partner/husband anymore. Sad but it does happen. When this happened to my two bestfriends, I was so affected, I felt so bad and I couldn't (I still can't)believe it could happen to somebody I know. To think that both came from religious families. What devastates me is that the guy's attitude is "It happens!" and is willing to turn back on all the vows they did in front of God.
