It seems there are many differing experiences on this so I feel I should add mine to the mix.
I never truly have fallen out of love. All the women I ever fell in love with (all unreciprocated) never completely faded from me. The love withered to the point whether it no longer caused me pain to think about but it's always there. I often say this with things that are too big to simply "get over," as it were. When people come to me with huge things that have happened to them I say, "Sometimes it's not about getting over it. It's about finding the best way to live with it." That's 100% what my love life has been the last 26 years. Learning how to live with the reality that even though romantic love is my number one drive in life, I've spent my life without it and may spend the rest of my life without it if things continue the way they have been.
