How do you know if you've fallen out of love?

I would have to say it's not the same as falling 'in' love, just opposite. It's not like rewinding a video tape. When you've really loved someone, you never really stop. Some part of your soul was touched by another and you are changed by love.

It also really depends on your own personal idea of love. Is it love when you have a lot of romantic chemistry together? Is it love by getting up extra early every morning to care for your family even after you haven't slept because your 'lover' was snoring all damn night? Is it love by letting someone you care for walk away to a happier life?

I think of that 'falling in love' feeling as really the infatuation part. Maybe falling out of love is the end of the infatuation period - you know, when you start noticing all the yuk stuff about the other person; he slurps his soup, she has fat ankles, etc.

Once you strip away the blinders placed on your face by infatuation, if you still like the person, then you might have a shot at a good friendship, if not love. If, instead, you find the person so utterly repulsive that you can't believe you ever had anything to do with them, then it probably wasn't love in the first place.

I don't know, just some thoughts...
