A friend of mine asked the same question. Do we really fall out of love?
In my last blog I said that Love is a decision. It's not just a feeling, but a decision, a promise, a commitment to be with your partner through thick or thin. So why do we experience or say this falling out of love thing?
Normally we start with falling in love. We don't notice it but we suddenly feel that we like a person. Then gradually we now decide if we want to pursue that feeling of elation. But what if we get to the point of exhaustion from the pressures of being in a romantic relationship? Can we say that we have fallen out of love for our partners? I say yes partly, we may feel less intensity of love, less overwhelmed, less feeling of elation for our partners. Since love is one part feeling and the other part is decision.
I agree partly with the expression of falling out of love, but it is a matter of choice. I said before that love is not just a feeling but partly you also decide on love itself. But whatever we have decided on will be executed in action.
Life is all about making choices. We take risks when we choose. It is a choice when we decide on the feeling of falling out of love. But does falling out of love meaning hating the person? I suggest you evaluate yourself if you are not sure whether you have fallen out of love or just overwhelmed with the pressures of your current situation.
