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.
