How is it possible to stop loving someone?

Some people tell you they love you when they really don't. People jump into "I love you" way too fast IMO.... before they even know each other 100% or for a very long time. I suppose they think they're supposed to say it, or they say it because they have strong feelings of like or lust, but then those feelings fade, or when they finally DO know the person, they don't really like them very much after all let alone love them.

I think "Love" does last forever... but it's also not enough to stay together sometimes too. For example, I still "love" my 1st husband - but there's no way he and I could be marital partners anymore because of the way he lives his life (drugs, alcohol, cheating, etc) We've been apart almost 20 years now, barely see or talk to each other but I still feel a kind of love for him and would be devastated if I found out he were hurt badly or killed.

There's lots of other reasons too that people can still love you but feel they need to leave and not be a partner to you. Every situation and person/couple are different.

I think that's a good thing. I feel the same.

I think at times we love that person as long as things our going the way we think it should or with both sexes we love for that beautiful moment and when that moment is gone we are not controlled by it. A lot of what we felt isn't there any more, with some people when out of sight out of mind.

Be brave and learn to live with broken heart and wounded feelings and it is better to love yourself first and .. and love should be unconditionally .. just wait if he/she is yours and your love for them is true they will never leave you other wise.. its a national game .. they change you should also think about it.. because you also want to win.. be ready .. for marathon..

Best of luck..

i feel that the only thing that heals that is time, and not letting yourself submit to that person again. unfortunately the one who broke my heart somehow always pops up. when i see him, it starts all over again. & thanks to FB i am constantly reminded that his birthday is tomorrow. great. well i know what i'm doing tomorrow....shopping spree on me!!! do whatever it takes to make YOU feel GOOD! :)

The old cliche "time is a great healer" is really the only consolation i can offer. it's hard being a woman, as i truly beleive we often give more emotionally and feel stuff deeper than men.

i think the real love is really difficult and different from what we think.The real love is when you don't think about yourself at all.You always want to give and will give everything for the sake of the loved one not thinking-hey and what about me?
And that's the problem there is no such a love these days.Everyone wants to satisfy his own desires.And when your loved one is not helping you or boring you or start getting in your way, you already feel that you don't love that person anymore. Cause he/she's not good for you or your future anymore. And i don't know what to do with this.Just pray that one day you gonna meet someone who'll want to make you happy more than himself,and that you 'll want the same.And don't forget about the perfect love of God that never fades.
good luck

You stop loving because you stop caring. When someone hurts you beyond all measure time and time again you suddenly find yourself out of love for that person. Been there done that, its that easy.
