What is it like to fall out of love with someone?

I think I'm going through that at the moment, and it's pretty soul destroying. Once I thought I wanted him more than anything in the world - it felt like I was drowning in him. I was so infatuated.
Now I feel nothing. It's triggering a whole existential crisis type thing. Is it because now I know he loves me? What - now I have him I don't want him anymore? Am I that fickle and vain? Or have I just gotten to know him better, and I've realized we aren't compatible at all...?

I tend to think if you have to question it so hard, it's not the right relationship. Regardless, it's a transition and transitions are tough. Be patient with yourself. And kind. Things tend to become clearer that way.

i have been in that position b4 - well he never loved me anyway but when i told him i loved him he acted so arrogant about it, his ego went up - i honestly wasn't expecting him to say he loved me back but after i said he I began seeing his true colors (well i think i knew his true colors but turned a blind eye) i began realizing i convinced myself of a lot of things on him & thought i was in love. Yes it is soul destroying when u see the reality of it, yes feels like drowning.

on the other hand many couples go through life not in love with each other but there's companionship & general affection. Its really up to u if u want to stay or not, weigh up what u have got to lose - i know it wud hurt him if u left but u need to look after yourself as well - he will heal in time & so u will too!

Probably the latter. Been there; it's horrible. Do both of you a good turn and end it quickly and cleanly.

Umm. The butterflies are gone. Being in love always will be a totally different thing than loving someone

For me it's usually the second one.
