What does it mean when your husband of five months tells you that he does not think he is in love with you anymore?

Answer 1

This is a good reason to bounce him off the walls! It's a little late for him to be thinking this, but it does happen. Shortly after you get married there is an adjustment to married life. Some people try and are pleasantly surprised it isn't all that hard to live with another person, while others panic and feel tied into the relationship and panic. I would certainly talk to your husband and sit down and have a heart-to-heart. If he doesn't want to do this, kick him to the curb! I know you feel hurt and this is a terrible shock, but don't panic yet. All is not lost. He could be just having a hard time adjusting to married life. I would have this talk with him very soon. If he is not going to try then leave! Never feel it's your fault and hold your head up high. There is no need for embarrassment at this time. It's important you are married to someone that treats you with respect, is mature enough to weather storms in your lives together and be a man. There are lots of good men out there. Marriage is a life-long commitment and it's obvious he doesn't see it this way. Don't waste your life. He was obviously in love with you when he asked you to marry him and I just can't believe that you fall out of love with someone so quick. I assume you have been together for a while before getting married. Marriage is a huge adjustment. You now share joint responsibilities, are together a lot more, have expectations of each other and marriage in general, etc. Your husband is probably just overwhelmed at the adjustment and is using the "I don't think I'm in love with you anymore" excuse. If he truly does feel that way, I would suggest visiting a marriage counselor and try to figure out what's going on.
