A marriage counselor once told me that it was impossible to fall out of love. If you think you have then you were never really in love to begin with. Do you agree?

True love? yes.

I have never thought of that, but it makes complete sense. It may have seemed like love, but in the end it wasn't. Very cool saying. Thanks for sharing it.

No I don't, Sometimes things just change, things happen, it does not mean it was not love in the first place. This seams a strange thing for a marriage counselor to say, maybe they are in the wrong job ?

I not sure If I should do this but...LOL! Ok, now that I got that out...hmmm, its a wonderful idea. I hope my ex will always be in love with me, despite the utter selfishness of that desire. I think it sounds possible, but people tend to create an aversion when they fight a lot or if someone really hurts them.

Given that most researchers on the subject split "love" into 3-5 separate stages: http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/hottopics/love/index.shtml#for_against1 http://www.singlescafe.net/stages.html And that the nature of the emotional attachment and corresponding physiological states are different for each stage, I think that statement is misleading at best and outright wrong at worst.

On the contrary. Psychologists suggest that initial "true" "romantic" love has a natural life of about 18 months. During that time, a couple need to learn how to become best friends, close companions etc. If they succeed, they can be happy together for a long time. But if they do not work to adjust to each other during the romantic phase, when it fades, as it is believed it will, they will fall apart.

no way! I think that if you are married you can fall in and out of love many times thoughout your relationship. And i'm sure it's bound to happen

There is a difference between being IN LOVE and LOVING SOMEONE. Therefore, I disagree. I still believe true love never dies, though. You can 'fall out of love' with someone, yet still love him or her, but in a different way.
