Does it happen.

My mate has just been telling me that he is thinking of ending his 10yr relationship with his missus as he feels he has fell out of love with her ?

He reckons the spark left years ago ?

Seeing that i cant keep a relationship for anymore than a couple of days never minds years i cant help comment on his problems so i thought the SN massive could give there thoughts.

Personally i couldnt care less if he ditch's her as it adds to the growing band of lads that are ready for a Saturday pulling session

Anyway enough of the nonsense.

What do you think ? Do you after x amount of years begin to fall out of love with your partner / wife ?

Cheers

I would say you dont lose any love for the partner, just lose the spice to life and the excitement of what life was like when they first got together. Your life becomes a routine unless you do something about it to keep the flame alight.

You'd also probably find that unless he was leaving her for another woman he'd probably end up missing her being around when hes sat at home on his billy todd, although that can be a good thing as its an incentive to get to the pub to "socialise"

Of course you lose the spark.. but its replaced with so much more ....

*is she reading this ??*

Hes got the 7 yr itch !!

Tell him to go out and bang some young skank and he'll be find !!

Better to cheat and her to never find out than to break her heart !!


there we have the worst advance I have ever given!!

As above: Routine, then as that sets in, one takes notices of all your partners little annoyances, and that builds up and irritates more and more. And before you know you want rid.

But as the saying goes: you don't know what you've got 'til its gone.

I don't think it's inevitable by any means! However, love isn't something that just hangs around for ****s and giggles; it takes work. Some aren't prepared to put in the work (for whatever reason) and then it diminishes and eventually fades completely, yes.

I'm off before I break into a Carole King song!!!

*Sings* But it's too late baby now, it's too late; though we really did try to make it....

RUN EVERYONE QUICK!!!!!

My partner and I have been together 8 years. Admittedly alot of that is due to us having a child together. Without our daughter we would never have stayed together.

Only thing I can suggest is keep the spice up. Once a month (or more if we can ) we give our daughter to a grandparent for the weekend. We then proceed to abuse the heck out of each other for as long as possible.

If you were in love in the first place rather than thinking you were-you don't tend to fall out of love.

I think sometimes you need a spell apart to sort your head out, you never get the same excitement as when you were first going out or on the pull, you get complacent, take each other for granted but best to have a trial separation (good chance to go to Amsterdam for Drugs 'n' ******).

I think it happens a lot, but can be fixed with a bit of effort, worth it if there are kids involved.

EddScott

Safer to take drugs with the misses and treat her like a *****.

Works for us

But what would you do whislt your missus is in Amsterdam ?

Last year I ended a relationship that I had been in for 10 years, we had a house together, no kids etc.

Is it possible to fall out of love? No, I dont think so. I love her, but neither of us were happy. It wasnt a matter of argueing, we just drifted apart.

The next stage in our lives was marriage and kids, and if after 10 years I still wasnt sure then I think that told me enough.

We are still friends, building your life again isnt easy, but if its not right then its not fair on either of you.

Think I must have got it wrong in the first place! I was too young.
