4 Signs You’re Falling Out of Love

When you’re in love you know it very clearly. Everyone who has ever had a crush or started dating someone very attractive knows the rush of the intense feelings. In other words, when you’re madly in love, you don’t need to be told. There’s no second guessing!

However, knowing that you’re falling out of love is a little more difficult. Losing the spark with another person often occurs over a long period of time. And, since you have so many bonds with them, it can be easy to want to hold on and convince yourself that you’re still in love.

But, knowing when you’re falling out of love is very important. This will allow you to end a dying (or dead) relationship or work harder to save the relationship and recapture the love that you once had.

This article will look at signs you’re falling out of love. If you notice any of these or all four, it’s time to evaluate whether or not you really belong in this relationship.

The Bedroom Is Dead

Sex and romance are an important part of any long term relationship. While the amount of sex typically goes down in a long term relationship, it still remains vital. This is because sexual activity releases oxytocin, which is bonds two people together. If you’re not doing “it,” then you’re missing out on an important component of the relationship.

When dealing with a dead bedroom situation, couples often fight more, especially if you want passion, but your partner doesn’t. This can lead you to feel more resentment and less love for your partner.

In addition, if you have no desire for your partner, then you have to ask yourself why? For many people, they simply feel no attraction to their partner or it’s because they no longer have strong feelings for them in any way. They’ve fallen out of love.

You Fight All The Time

Fighting in a relationship is normal. Every healthy couple does it and usually way more often than they want to admit. But, for a healthy couple, the fighting is an unpleasant part of a loving relationship.

In a relationship where you’re falling out of love, the fighting becomes excessive and beyond what is normal. Usually, the fights begin to outweigh the positive moments. And, you tend to fight about seemingly anything.

It’s possible to actually enjoy negative emotions and I believe many couples fall into this trap with fights. But, if you actually enjoy the fighting, then it’s pretty clear that you’re falling out of love.

You No Longer Spend Time Together

When you’re in love, you want to spend time with your partner. In fact, you may even be a little obsessive about seeing them. When you’re falling out of love, however, the opposite is true.

You no longer spend time with your partner or you don’t want to. In many cases, it could be that you live separate lives. You just simply don’t have time for your partner or they don’t have time for you.

The other option is that you don’t want to spend time with your partner. Maybe you’d rather be with family or friends or just alone. Either way, it’s not a good sign for the future success of your relationship.

You Look Elsewhere For Fulfillment

When you’re falling out of love, you begin to look elsewhere to find meaning, fulfillment and purpose. And, even love.

You might find your mind wandering to other people, daydreaming about a life with them. You might look to the past and reminisce about what might have been with your exes.

You also could simply check out of love and romance in general. You get absorbed in your own projects and hobbies. Maybe you spend all day playing video games or going to bars. While it’s good to have hobbies and friends, if they are escapes from a relationship, it’s a sign you’re not happy.

If you have any of these signs, it’s time to accept that you might be falling out of love with your partner. You’ll have to decide what to do obviously. But, ignore these signs at your own peril.
