5 Reasons Why People Fall Out Of Love by Dotwillis1(m): 8:46am On Dec 10, 2014 |
1. They weren’t in love in the first place It’s not really possible to fall out of love if you never WERE in love, right? The reason why they do, nevertheless, is becos they confuse being in love with something else. This often happens wen people look for a relationship just to substitute a need; for instance a need not to be lonely, or when they are in need of something just to gain from the partner 2. A seemingly “compatibility” became “incompatibility” As you may well know, at the beginning of a relationship we see the world, (and our new partner), through rose-colored glasses. Everything is wonderful. We have so much fun, and we are such a match… haven’t even had a single fight… yet. Suddenly there is friction. Suddenly there are differences. Suddenly there are terrible fights. Where has the compatibility gone? The answer to that is that it often was never there to begin with. Both of you have given your best to be the ideal version of yourselves, even if that meant becoming someone else. We are so desperately trying to please the new partner. We want them to be a perfect match at all cost. So we are not who we really are. This is where we can do better in the next relationship – to always stay ourselves! And if the new partner doesn’t like who we are? Then toss them. He or she wasn’t a fit anyway. You don’t want an artificial relationship that explodes after the expiration date. You want the real thing, with a real you, as part of it. 3. There’s too much boredom and routine If you don’t water your plant every day it will die. As simple as that. As will your love and relationship if you don’t maintain it on a regular basis. Love in a romantic relationship is not an abstract thing that exists and stands by itself. It has to be fostered, and taken care of on a daily basis. A thriving relationship is work. And only work will make it grow. This can be done by daily love rituals, weekly communications sessions, (instead of watching TV), creating “memory-beacons”, regular live affection, and sharing mutual interests and hobbies. Love… you have to take care of it before it will take care of you. 4. The relationship didn’t go in the desired direction for both This is not quite similar to being incompatible, this is what people call “growing apart”. When you started the relationship, you had more or less the same goals, shared world- views and expectations on how to grow the relationship, and thoughts about how to make the next logical step together. While this may have been mutually honest, priorities can change. Maybe at the beginning, you both agreed to get married in the near future, with kids and the whole package. And maybe it sounded great at that time, but then for one of you the priority changed to, for example, getting that promotion at work. Or one partner got a new job with new colleagues, new challenges and goals, while the other one wasn’t able to adapt to the new situation. Things like this will create problems and friction in the relationship. Unfortunate as it is – this is no ones fault – but it can cause people to fall out of love. 5. The love became toxic The rose-colored glasses came off not so long ago, and all of a sudden behaviors come to light that were unexpected and very unpleasant. For example, people can become obsessed by the relationship and act needy, demanding and clingy. Or they become control freaks - they use “emotional blackmail”, and very often become verbally aggressive, (sometimes even physically). The relationship is suddenly ran by just one person, as opposed to thriving from an equal contribution of both partners. All in all, they create a toxic environment that chokes out the life of love. Until it stops breathing. |
