Why Do Happy Couples Suddenly Fall Out Of Love?

Break Up & Divorce - Why Do Happy Couples Suddenly Fall Out Of Love?

  Pages:   1 2  

It seems to be a complete mystery. Something we cannot understand. And yet it happens every day all around us: People who used to love each other madly suddenly fall out of love, just like that.

What are the reasons?

Sarah’s Story:

Sarah and her boyfriend had been the perfect couple. It was as if they had waited for each other their whole lives. They had the same hobbies, the liked the same things, they considered each other to be soulmates.

This went on happily for two years - the perfect relationship, until her boyfriend suddenly started to pull back, to act strange and get distant. Eventually he broke up with her, and when she asked for the reason he simply replied that he didn’t love her any more.

Sound familiar? Has this also happened to you or someone around you?

A disappointment.

Isn’t true love meant to be forever?

Well, I cannot give you an answer to this one, but I can give you the advice that you need to examine your perception of "true love". I can tell you: All that glistens is not gold.

A high expectation of true love, and an exaggerated romantic view of the ideal concept of love can disturb the view to having a fulfilling and healthy relationship.

A realistic view is vital.

What is the Main Reason that People Fall out of Love?

Of course, there are numerous reasons why people break up, but they are not always the same ones as why people fall "out of love".

The term "to fall out of love" implies that they’ve been in love before and all of a sudden the love is gone.

This is of course an illusion. Nobody loses their love overnight.

In my experience there are 3 main reasons why people don’t love anymore, and therefore break up with their partners. 

1. Their expectations weren’t met

    I think like you said there are a number of things that can break up a relationship. But one i found that doesn’t seem to be discussed that much but can impact on a healthy relationship is growth.

    Sometimes when you get together with someone.You guys are in the same point in time together. You are fighting for the same thing. You hear of couples who were really struggling with their lives .. say financially. They were able to band and work together to achieve a common outcome. They when they have reached their success then they break up. Why?

    Not because because of their success per say. But more because they no longer have that commonality of working together to achieve a certain outcome. They no longer has the challenge and the growth in their relationship.

    This leads to boredom and unfulfillment - which ultimately will end the relationship.

    I think its a good thing to keep in mind that relationships are forever evolving and growing. If its not growing, then its going backwards
