Yes I do believe it can happen. People are constantly changing and if you and your partner change in different directions you can start to move apart and unless you are aware of it and try to chnage that you will wake up one day realising you no longer feel the same about them.

One grows, the other stops or you go in different directions. It happens all the time. No one's fault. The fault lies with those who betray their partner before breaking up. :)

Of course, sooner or later it's bound to happen. Question is when it doesn't are you the type of person to stick around and find a way back to each other, or will you give up and run? I promise you, even the marriages that stay together til death hit a few rough times along the way.

boredom with the relationship and unaddressed slights. communication is key to a good relationship, that and the feeling that the relationship isn't all about one person. you CAN fall back in love with someone too, you just have to want to. remember what attracted you to that person in the first place, look at pictures of the two of you when you were happy in your relationship. when you first 'fall' in love, you can't help it. later you have to learn to choose to continue to love someone, but it is worth the effort. peace.

I think, from my experience, that people just go in different directions. Once your interests mean you aren't spending any time together, that's a sign that it's not working. I tried to make it work, but then I realized he just didn't really want to spend time with me. I don't think you fall out of love of someone, but your relationship can take a turn that you may not have expected.

People don't tend to their garden. The weeds begin to grow and the flowers wither and die away.

yes you can, and you can fall back in love with them. it happens b/c ppl change. And, when they change, they look for new things in a spouse... but it happen for other reasons too.. ppl fall out of love b/c they stop working at their relationship, and it falls to the wayside... and many many other reasons... kids might get in the way.. or they change religions, or their spouse puts on tons of weight, and they are not attracted to them anymore... and on and on and on...

Being "in love" is a temporary state. Love doesn't last. It DOES, however, return. A long-term relationship is all about repeatedly falling in love with the same person. Relationships have cycles where you're totally into each other and cycles where you need your space, you're busy with other things, or you're a little tired of each other. Then in time it comes around to being crazy about each other again. The secret is, during those times when you're NOT feeling lovey-dovey, do not do anything unforgivable to each other. Don't insult each other. Don't be mean. Even if you're really mad or they're being really really dumb. If you say something really hurtful, they will never forget it. And they might not be able to fall in love with you again.

yes. it happens because people do not realise that being in love is a choice so they just roll with the hormones
