Well I personally think that you can stop loving your partner, but why? I mean to me if yo love God you love the partner that you are sharing your life with. This is what the question is pointing towards. Do you think after so long with a partner that your spending your life with can you fall out of love? Thanks for your post and opinions.

yup you can fall out of love...of course its undoubtedly reasonable logic...if your partner is continuously cheating on you after you caught them...and if your partner doesnt give you attention and treat you bad over and over....who doesnt want to be around you...will you still love the person.... theres a lot of reasons that you can actually fall out of love....

You can fall out of love. It can be because the person has hurt you or because you haven't made enough effort to keep the relationship working or bad communication or a lot of things. Sometimes you can find it again, sometimes not.

I think that staying in love is about paying attention to the good moments and good things and letting the bad stuff go. we all make mistakes. We all do things that can be hurtful to another, annoying to another, or just foolish. I think when people fall out of love with their partner it is because they have focused on the bad things and forgotten the good or because there is too much bad and it is out-weighing the good. If you find yourself falling out of love and want to determine if it's time to call it quits try this. Ask yourself why you fell in love. What made your partner attractive to you in the first place? What qualities did you fall in love with them for? Do those still exisit? Ask yourself what positive things you can remember from your relationship. Ask yourself what positive things you can remember from the last 6 months. When negative stuff comes to mind let it go and find something positive to focus on instead. Remember things that make you smile and feel warm. Then spend some time with your partner doing something that allows those positive moments to happen. Watch for the good moments. Don't expect the worst or you will get it. If all of this doesn't do any good then maybe there isn't enough left between you to keep the spark of love lit, but most times this will help rekindle the fire. Yes you can fall out of love but it's just as easy to fall back into it. After all you fell in love with this person once before and they are still that person.

I think if something has happened to you then yes you could fall out of love with someone.

Absolutely. People sometimes begin to communicate less or less honestly and needs can change throughout time...
