How do you know if the love is gone?

Answer 1

Love is gone when you try to treat each other with respect but nothing works. Sometimes when people are ready to move on they stay together for other reasons and all they seem to do is hurt each other. If you are trying to be kind but all you do is fight, maybe it is time for a serious talk about the future.

With clear focus one would be able to see, that love is something that doesn't leave you, its always there. Love is a Survivor AND carries ON in triumph through IT ALL and has a way of righting you when you are wrong but always has your back, no matter what. If somone feels love is gone perhaps they should question if it was really ever there at all? TRUE LOVE TAKES TIME TO GROW.Tis like a garden in that you reap what you sow.

Love is gone when you no longer see any good in your partner; when you feel negative energy when in their presence; when the idea of intimacy with them revolts you; when being alone is a more attractive option for your happiness. If you can still see the good...work it out...nurture it.

If you ever find yourself asking this question, or asking 'Am I in Love?', then you aren't, but it isn't gone. It can't be. It just means you've grown a bit and realize that what you thought was love wasn't. When it is, you very suddenly know - you don't think, or wonder, or ask your friends what they think. It's an epiphany that you'll never doubt. If things go up, go down, shatter to a thousand pieces, build to a crushing pressure where you knowsomething has to give, and you still never wonder about this, then it's love. Everything else is just; comfort, shared experiences/goals, and good sex - or some mix of the three.

Answer 2

Few of us in long term relationships are totally in love all the time, every day of every week. It is the richness of experience over time that builds love that you come back to. Sometimes, when your priorities have gotten out of balance: too much work, not enough sleep, not enough time spent together and other things, you may feel like the love is gone. Take the time to go away together to do something fun, get some rest and reconnect and the love will be there. Many successful couples do this quarterly.
