Question

Why do people fall out of love after so many years?

Answer 1

Sometimes people can lose trust in each other and it can make you feel like you don't love them no more. But if you truly are in love with someone you don't fall out after being together for years.

Answer 2

YOU DON'T !!!!!!

THEY NEVER REALLY LOVED THAT PERSON .... YOU DON'T FALL OUT OF LOVE W/ SOMEONE !!!!!!!

IT WAS JUST AN INFATUATION .. SOMETIMES PEOPLE JUST GET USE TO OTHER PEOPLE .. USE TO THE ROUTINE

Answer 3

Because we get fat and ugly with age but we're still attracted to young beautiful fit people. Also, familiarity breeds contempt. When you live with someone for 20 years they don't half start to get on your f**king nerves.

Answer 4

changes? differences?  

Answer 5

they get bored

Answer 6

I split with my ex after being together for 20 years, we just grew apart with our jobs. He worked all day and I worked all evening, I'd get home at 10.30 he'd be in bed because he had to be up early. We hardly saw each other for the best part of 11 years.

Answer 7

I guess the love isn't strong enough and they just weren't meant to be..

Answer 8

I've heard people say things like I love my wife but I'm not in love with her anymore.  A friend of mine who has been married for like 20 years says the same.  Love is nature's trick to get us to reproduce!  Plenty of romance should keep the fire burning! x

Answer 9

people who fall out of love after years and years were never really in love.

love is a life thing.  

Answer 10

unmet expectations, immaturity,the presence of another in ones relationship tugging at the heartstrings of the one u love.anger, revenge,and maybe they never loved u like u loved them in the first place.u don't fall out of love, its a concience decision to do it,its a plan one makes to disconnect from the other person.its mosly about thoughts, because if u tell yourself something long enough u begin to believe it.

Answer 11

I guess you could regress to the point of hate after being w/ someone for years. .after you've been together so long & things just got worse. .

It doesn't happen overnight.

"Falling out of love" . .too simple.

It all depends on compatibility. .the years they've been together & many other factors. .

As my parents were 15 years in age difference. . they were both hard-headed Aries & they had too many problems.

It happens.

Answer 12

Maybe because they were never in love to begin with.  Ever think of that?  

Answer 13

theres a theory, that every 8 years, you become a completely different person.

People do definitely change as they progress in life,

their desires..goals..humour..ethics...looks!

so by a certain point in a relationship, your not dating the same person you fell in love with, and neither are they, so inevitably it ends.

this theory stems from the fact back when we lived in caves, the man would stay with the women and their child till 8 years to protect them, but by the age of 8 the child is alot more capable of surviving on its own, so the man left to breed someplace else.

lol, sorry to get all scientific on yo ***! :P

Answer 14

they could of never really been in love them

u cant just suddenly fall out of love thats stupid

Answer 15

maybe its because no ones really trying anymore

Answer 16

Too much s*x, too much masturbating... lol. Sometimes they need a fresh reminder of how much you really mean to them, and if you go overboard on masturbating or s*x, they lose attraction to you just by pure human nature.
