If he stops calling me and being sweet. I will definitely be sad but I will move on. I mean, I can't be the one who does the work in relationship so I will not put up with that. If he cheats, if he doesn't put enough time in me but invest in other stuff.

There could be a lot of reasons why women fall out of love just like men they fall out of love all the time I use to believe in true love but the reallity is that you could be married 50 years one day and say hey that it I don't think that you never truly know someone you can think that you do and then they take you by surprise but most reasons women fall out of love is cheating, lieing stealing I don't think it ever just one reason it a lot of built up issues

There are many things but I'll just name the most important one to me. not showing affection, a women needs to feel and know her man loves and appreciates her. Don't just use Little techniques like buying her flowers, calling to see how her day went, complements etc just to lure her into the relationship, keep it coming and she'll love you for life if she's smart. bye

If you do not respect her, listen to her when she is going through some problems,and put her down, and not make her feel secure and important in your life, that will lead her in the other direction.

And the #1 thing: if you get into a fight and bad mouth her to your mother and tell your mother very personal things about her that she asked you not to tell any one, that will really p*ss her off and make her know she can not talk to you or trust you any more!

In my relationship, we are apart for the summer living 4 hours away, both of us have full time jobs, we have been dating for over a year and the first month of summer made me think that I was starting to fall out of love, we still talked all the time and we called each other every day, I just started to feel different. At the end of the month apart, he came to my house for my birthday, and being with him reminded me how much I really feel for him. Sometimes people just question their feelings and my end up not feeling the same way they did before. Its not that they want to mess up a relationship, they just do not want to continue something that their heart is not in anymore.

lat see I think the reason why women fall out of love is because she's tired and wants someone that's different or because she doesn't like the way your acting with her. I'm sorry that's all I could think of.

WELL THERE IS MANY DIFFERENT EXPLANATIONS TO WHY WOMAN FALL OUT OF LOVE WITH A MAN. EACH IN A DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCE. SOMETIMES A WOMAN HAS PUT SO MUCH IN A RELATIONSHIP WHERE THE MAN HASNT EQUALLY. HE MIGHT THINK SO BUT HE HAS NOT REALLY SHOWED A WOMAN HOW MUCH HE CARES FOR HER. SOMETIMES IT COULD BE SOMETHING IN THEIR PERSONALITY THAT THEY HAVE NEVER NOTICED BEFORE, SOMETHING THEY DIDNT LIKE. DIFFERENT LIFE GOALS CAN ALSO TURN OFF WOMAN. EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. THERE IS AN ENDLESS LIST OF WHY WOMAN FALL OUT OF LOVE.

there are so many reasons, so, so many. but bascally, if she did love tha man at one point, then she either got bored, simply lost interest, or maybe she found another man, maybe she thought that she neded to reset her priorities.

BUT she could have been faking the whole f***ing time, she could have been pretending to love the guy for personal reasons, maybe she wanted money, sex, attention, ect.

lotsssss of reasons.

I'm going threw that now. We have been together for eight years and we have three kids(7,6,&2yr old) I'm in the middle of moving. I don't love him anymore. It started with him drinking and going out with his friends. He would get home drunk and start fighting with me. Then he said he was going to quit and he did cut back for a couple of weeks. But then started again. He would lie and say he was going to the store and not come back for hours and be drunk when he got home. Doesn't help with the kids. Never wanted to do anything I wanted to do and when we did he just complained the whole time. Never wanted to talk. I felt like his mom not his wife. I found out he was talking crap about me to his friends and his family and his ex girlfriend. He always said things before thinking. And he started doing more drugs. And also my kids are getting older and I don't want them going threw that anymore.

So we got together when all We wanted to do was have fun and party. Now we have kids and I've grown up and I'm a mom, but he still wants to act like we don't have kids and he's single. We want different things now. And we really didn't know each other when we got together.

Well I was in a relationship for 18 long years...It was not all bad, but I did fall out of love with him but only after he took me for granted,...things build up over the years and if you do not maintain a constant awareness of her she will stop loving you,...basically all you have to do is show her you love her, never take her for granted, tell her you love her, do things just for her, and never ever make her feel unappreciated...treat her like a goddess that she deserves to be treated and she will never fall out of love with you...and trust and respect throughout is a must as well...

when he stops showing he cares
dont' underestimate the power of "the little things"
spark things up with what you used to do when you first started dating her, assuming you did romantic, thoughtful spontaneous things...
i was in a relationship of over 3 yrs... my relationship ended, but for different reasons... I never fell fully out of love, but I definitely was not head over heels about him the entire time. I wasn't so much bored at times but very frustrated, because I tried so hard to put effort into our relationship and he just got sooo comfortable, took me 4 granted. when you stop showing you care, its like what's the point? it was like our relationship became stagnant and was not progressing but remaining still and even moving backwards... sure-shot way to lose ur woman. if she's worth it, don't let it happen. there's plenty of websites with tips on cute ideas of things you can do to please ur woman and keep things exciting. even in the rough economic times, some of the nicest sweetest things are free. watch a few romantic comedies if you still come up dry.

3 THING!Number ONE..i hate it when guys think relationships are VCR's thinking they can stop it and play it and pause it when they want and we will still be here and NUMBER 2... when a girl turns from being his girlfriend to being their babysitter witch is when you have to keep doing for them but they never do for you so so clingy and so so annoying having to all a sudden have a list of requirements just to talk to them like what to say and what not to say jeeez can't we just talk? it makes you start to dread talking to them or seeing them because they wine and complain about anything possible and allways in a bad mood about every little thing so babysitter does all she can to fix it but ends up babysittin again the next day but yet they do nothing at all for you no regarding your feelings or wants and needs just all about them the cup cakin and romantic gestures from them stop because your too buisy fixin all the time and when you try to tell how you feel theirs no listening its suppose to be 50 /50 not him/ him and NUMBER 3 ..when his family is in your relationship as well he tells them all the business and they know more about your relationship then you do and have his back a little too much witch makes you feel uncomftorable being with him because you mind as well be going out with his family too you make him upset you make them all upset because they know everything but your side MYB=mind your buissness... that's what pushes me away

A relationship takes work each day from both sides. If you aren't paying attention and your just going through the motions of living each day and ignoring your relationship then that can cause a woman in a long term relationship or a man for that matter to "fall out of love". It becomes boring and routine. Men tend to feel appreciated if we show them respect and give "praise" for what they do. Women like that too, but we like to feel like we are attractive. We like to feel like we are loved each day. Maybe men do, too. I find though once a man "has the woman" he tends to stop doing the things that won the woman over in the first place. The guy stops communicating because he thinks he's done the hard work already, but relationships like a garden need a little tending each day. This is what I have seen happen in other relationships. I haven't fallen out of love. It's generally the men that fall out of love with me before we even have an argument.

Jealousy, accusing me of cheating too many times. Laziness, never helped around the house. Not good at handling too many things, always coming up with excuses for why things didn't get done. Forgotten birthday during his vacation week, yeah he wasn't even busy. Broke many promises. Always financially unstable. After more than 5 years together and living together for 2+ years, still didn't think of us as a permanent thing. Still thought of his parents' home as "home". Immature... Those are the main ones for me.

well here is what happened to my 5 1/2 year relationship...keep in mind the guy and I have two kids together (4 and 2)
he constantly lied to me and got caught, found him on internet dating website looking for a sex fling...twice, he was never really home and when he was he didn't spend any time with me, alcoholism, all of the mental, physical, emotional abuse, terrible communication, very disrespectful, never bought me presents for any holiday including my birthday, he broke my things, caught him cheating on me, I mean don't get me wrong, it takes two to make it work but it also takes two to tear it down. I did my fair share but these things that he did to me pushed me so far away and I tried and tried and tried to fix everything and stand by him to make it work I got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore. you both have to want it and to make the changes to stay close and together. we have been seperated for almost 7 months now and it still hurts. but, everything happens for a reason.

For me, mostly being taken for granted. I think there are a lot of things a man can do to make us feel we are taken for granted. Like talking to other girls innapropriatley, lying, doing things you know hurt us but you still do it. The very worst is when the guy thinks, "I already got her, I don't need to try anymore." Just so you know, you NEVER get the girl, NEVER. You will always have to work for it and you should always try to work for it, knowing that if you don't she could be gone one day. I am not saying you have to spoil us or do everything for us, but still take us out, make us get the butterflies we used to get in the first few months. Do nice things for us, surprise us. Make it so that we fall in love with you more every day. Because if you fall in love then just stop falling, someday that love will get old. We need to love you more with every day we spend with you.

People need to understand Love is a verb (and action) not a noun ( a thing). You must show love with action at all time. Saying it is wasting your breath if your not showing it. Even if your not in love you have love for the girl never stop showing love and she will never walk away

i have been in a relationship for six years and lets not lie after the years go by you start to get bored because things become so routine and if the girls never truey loved the guy with all her heart, she just tricked him and herself into that (even more likely if you met the girl when you were very young and just rushed into the realtionship) and someone else that she works with or goes to school with etc... comes along the way and shows her that there is more to life, than the girl will most likely find intrest in that guy and walk out of her perfect relationship that doesn't offer her anything new ( except for comfort and stability) to find a new challenge in life.

The same way they fall in love -- on a whim. Sometimes they just realize that the things that attracted them to you just aren't that attractive after they've been exposed to them for a long period of time. Familiarity breeds contempt, as the saying goes.

Forgetting to treat her like she's your girlfriend.

You need to woo her occasionally, tap into that giddy, butterflies-in-the-stomach energy you had early in your relationship.

Sometimes, imagine you'd never met her. "Look at that cute woman. How could I impress her, stand out from the other guys, and score a date with her?" Then, act on one of those ideas.
