7 Signs You Are Falling Out Of Love

Every time we fall in love, a part of us is always hoping that we’ve finally met the one we’re going to spend the rest of our lives with. That’s why it’s so hard for us to make up our minds about whether or not we should leave a relationship when we no longer feel happy. Staying for the wrong person is only going to fill you with more discontentment as time goes on. Do you agree?

SUMMARY with time stamps:
1. 0:47 You notice more of their flaws
2. 1:20 You don’t communicate as much
3. 1:54 You spend less time with them
4. 2:24 You feel more attracted to other people

I recommend watching the video for more info and details.
(also it would be nice if Psych2Go put these kinds of summaries along with time stamps in their description so that it would be easier to find what we are looking for if we don't have the time to rewatch the video).

The sad part about this is when you notice their flaws it's the things you once used to love

[marivaughn]

i’m losing feelings for someone, but they love me so much. it’ll break me to tell them “i’m losing feelings with you.”

[Doesnt_Matter]

Slowly falling out of love, and eventually needing to beak things off, with the person I cared about most in this entire world was the hardest experience I’ve ever endured. I wish it upon nobody.

[ley]

The saddest part is when you can relate to it but hate to admit it especially when he's/she's been around for you all the time when you needed him/her the most and you ended up falling out of love. This hurts so much.

[yasminchan]

I've never cried this much at a video, me and my boyfriend has been together for over 5 years and I still just want to believe I love him, but I can relate to most of these..

[despotized]

I've experienced all of this with my boyfriend, and yet when we spend more time with each other and experience emotional connection, physical connection, and mental connection with him, I regain my feelings for him and my want to maintain the relationship.

If you lose feelings for your boyfriend, don't decide on breaking up right away. Try to figure out why you feel that way first before making a decision. Sometimes, at least for me, my emotional state (anxiety, depression, etc) effects my emotions so much that it clouds my feelings for my boyfriend.

And don't forget that if you were to fall out of love, that is not the end. I believe that in some cases, effort can be done to restore those feelings.

[firebinder]

He was suddenly annoying and I dreaded waking up to his messages. I was impatient, irritated, unhappy all the time. There was a time where he made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world, I kept asking the universe, "Do I really deserve this man?"
Then we just got tired. Breaking up with him was liberating but I won't deny how much I've cried afterward.

[bethanymullineux]

This is literally my biggest fear in life, being deeply in love and one day my feelings are gone and I can’t get them back

“If you truly want to be respected by people you love, you must prove to them that you can survive without them.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

[Luna-mqke]

Broke up with mine today, its just too painful to stay together when you aren’t happy.

[bigboof]

I hate how we are made to believe that breaking up with someone means you’re the ”bad guy” but in reality, we simply wish to be happy and for both of us to have the opportunity to find a relationship where both parts are equally invested.

[sri-xnhb]

To everyone reading this comment, have a nice day/night, things will get better soon, remember that you aren't the only person going through this, stay safe!!

[QuestionEverythingButWHY]

“If I have learned anything in this long life of mine, it is this: in love we find out who we want to be; in war we find out who we are.”
― Kristin Hannah, The Nightingale

[spextaculargaming]

I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 2 years, and I’ve noticed that I’m happier and less stressed without him. I think I need a break, but I don’t want to hurt him.

[moved.]

I wonder how my grandparents are still together over 40 years and it was both their first relationship

[QuestionEverythingButWHY]

“Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time.”
― Maya Angelou

[burusunya]

Its not the goodbyes that hurts, its the flashback that follows.😭

[MrJoon]

After the initial spark of a relationship fades, love doesn't just happen. It takes effort, time, and willingness. If you find you're drifting apart make the time to reconnect.

[Ferchi.]

There’s a point in any relationship where the “in love” stage ends, it’s normal and completely natural. And when this happens, it’s the decision of you two, to work it out or leave, but remember, it can simply be you two were not compatible enough, or it could be you’re just not putting the effort it takes for the relationship to keep growing.
