Well, love does not exist in the first place so why can't i??! I can stop loving a partner the moment i find a reason why i should.

People clearly fall out of love, hence about 50% of marriages and up to 70% of co-habitations don't work.

In any case, love means different things to different people.

MRbrownJAY: @OP
people dont love for no damn reason, therefore if these reasons are not there any longer or change then the love will die a natural death. for example, if you love someone because they were caring/understanding/special in anyway/beautiful or rich and they lost that attribute then there would be no more reason for love to exist in that said couple.

love is only eternal if the status of this couple is also eternal. you cannot love your partner forever, regardless of their actions.

If its for a reason - "his broad chest nice eyes", "her big bakassi" - its NOT LOVE!! What you've described is more like attraction, physical or otherwise.
Re: Can You Stop Loving Your Partner? by Nobody: 10:28pm On May 09, 2013
^^^ people fall in love for many different reasons, and none of us can sit here and say that it is wrong.... we are all different and therefore what turn someone's love feelings on, may not be what turns another person's love feeling on. but SOMETHING triggers these feeling and without them, there can be no love (aka nothing to sustain this love).

btw, attraction has its fair share to play when love is concerned....whether physical/emotional/spiritual/financial or what not. if you are not attracted in anyway with the person you love then something is DEFINTELY and SERIOUSLY wrong.

Bikonu, na wetin worry the guy him dey cry about, free am! He's teaching you to love the clueless and shoeless one..stop being a hater. If there was some level of trust and love between our Leaders and us citizens, I don't think the country would have deteriorated to this level. Mind you our problems didn't start with GEJ. Show some love and Respect for the President, the OP might just listen to you and take to the streets

-First part of your reply: ("Can we define love without God ....deep knowledge of the ways of God".)
I like that. Are you familiar with St. Augustine? He talks about something similar in a chapter of his Confessions (how the ideas we have about the universe and everything in it: of animals, of perfection, of nature, etc ...comes from God and HE is the one who instills them in us, specifically, in our minds). Reading your reply just reminded me of that passage.

-Second part of your reply: ("Love entails ...We must love" ).
True. And I like that you use the word "accept", which points out the fact that love is a choice. Accepting and choosing co-exist. Love is a command, yes, but just like all the other commandments we have the choice to do them, or not. If this weren't the case, the world wouldn't be upside down as it is today.

With romantic r-ships, I know it's not easy to stop loving someone like that, especially for people who're in love. Often, something huge has to happen for one to stop loving the other and even in that case, it would take time. So it's not like it's simple to do, but you can get there eventually if you choose to.
Re: Can You Stop Loving Your Partner? by Nobody: 1:08am On May 10, 2013
Anyway, to answer the OP, YES, it is possible to stop loving a partner:

A few reasons:

-We've freewill (see 2nd response to keyword)
-We're finite beings
-Sh1t happens


Another reason I want to list has to do with Plato's theory of forms (for anyone who's familiar with it), but too long to go into...
Re: Can You Stop Loving Your Partner? by churific(m): 3:04am On May 10, 2013
Some people are not even answering the question. They're just quoting scriptures and famous sayings of which, some are irrelevant.

I'll say it depends on your definition of LOVE. Today, we all have millions of definition and by mine, I say YES, it's very possible to stop loving a "partner" especially if you have confused love and LUST.
Re: Can You Stop Loving Your Partner? by Nobody: 3:38am On May 10, 2013
Ninapha: Anything dat is 'built' can be destroyed, ammended, redesigned and or obey the law of depreciation. Love between couples is built and has the tendencies of the afore mentioned.

Its possible if given reason to. Its only God's love that is sure yet he even rebuke and chastise!
I like this reply too.

True love only happen in indian movie
