Falling OUT of love?

I've had friends or have known people that have said.."yea I used to love him but I dont anymore." In my opinion you either still love the person or you never did. I was just wondering everyone elses opinion on that.

I think it depends on the situation...like my last relationship was on and off for years. i let him use me becaus i loved him and thought he loved me..but only wanted one thing...eventually i had endured just too much pain from him..and stop loving him to save myself from going back down the suicidal road...

There are different levels of love and i think once you hit a certain level...you can't fall out of love no matter how hard you try...

I think you can only be IN love when its both felt between you and you are the one for each other.. Sure they may have loved them, but I don't think you can fall in love then out.

I believe that in reality once you truly love someone, you will love them forever. But there are certain things that can mask your love. like say you were in a fight with your love, you could be so upset that your anger could be masking your love for them, but in all honesty you still love them no matter what

I believe that once you're truely in love you always will be. Even if the love of your life passes away or you're betrayed by the person you thought was the one, you can always move on & share your love; of the past, presently & for the future, with another... But as for falling in love one minute then falling out the next, I don't believe that. Don't say that you love a person then the next contradict yourself & say that you don't. You either did love them or you never did (or at least it was a different form of love).

Well if you're talking about loving someone, I believe you can love plenty of people on different levels throughout your life. Being IN love with someone is a completely different story.

I believe in your teenage years, you can "fall in love" in the sense that, it's the first time you're experiencing something so strong...in a way it's like falling in love, but what are you supposed to call it? For me, you can "fall in love" once in your teenage/high school years. And that's in quotes for a reason, mind you :)

But to truly, utterly fall in love with someone... that only happens once. Sure, you can LOVE people ... but that doesn't mean you're IN love with them. Which is why when someone says, "I used to love him/her, but I don't anymore," I assume they don't mean they fell in love with them.

Because in reality, I feel like, if you truly felt strongly for someone--you never actually let them go. But you'll meet someone sooner or later in your life who you'll end up spending it with. And that's the person you fell IN love with. Everyone before that were just different levels of love.

Words cannot describe how much I hate those words. "Falling out of love." Ridiculous.

"Words cannot describe how much I hate those words. 'Falling out of love.' Ridiculous."

^ Lol. There's one word right there that sums up the answer to this question. Ridiculous. :)

I kind of agree with brokenReality.
On the whole 'teenage' thing. I guess "falling out of love" for a teenager, is pretty much growing up. And falling 'in love' for a teenager, is just their first big emotional experience. You're much wiser once you "fall out of love".
hmmm.

I guess i agree that it depends on the situation. I myself have loved more than once but i find it impossible to ever say i truly dont love them anymore. I think it is possible to lose the connection you once shared but if you Truely loved somebody then you will always have a place for them in your heart. at least that is how i am.

I've always believed that your first love never dies!
There is always somewhere in your heart for the ones you've loved even if you don't think it....

I think that if you really love a person, you will feel that way forever or at least for a really long tme. But it is possible to fall out of love with someone.

It is simple really. either you loved the person or you never did at all.

if you say that you used to love them then in my view you really didn't love them at all.

because once you love someone then you will always will. in some way shape or form.
