Why do men fall out of love sometimes?

I feel that the statement Hopelessly wrote is so very sad. In some men that is absolutely true, might even be most men (and ladies too), but what happened to those folks feeling of self worth along the line and sadly the people who have fallen in love with them have to constantly worry if everything they do or say is enough to keep their loved one fulfilled with "worth". One day when that man is old and gray he will still be lonely.  The admiration and feeling of "love" and acceptance he or she seeks from another will run out and the way they have hurt others will only make them feel all the more worthless.

Some people fall out of love especially when thier married because they found their relationship boring, It is like an everyday routine for them.

Other couple maintain their relationship by adding a spice in thei relationship, trying new things just like when they are just lovers.

Either the man or the woman should have an sense of adventure in a relationship  for them to have an extraordianry day.

There are so many types of activities they can engage in. The very common activity couples are doing is trying new stuff int their sexual activities, others go to picnic, fishing, or having an outdoor experience with their family. 

A relationship should not be a routine, it should be a new exciting experience everyday.

I believe the issue is largely cultural. In the US we are extremely narcissistic and self absorbed. We are extremely materialistic and disposable society; nothing lasts, objects are built to last only a few years before "outdated." Just as are relationships. If one doesn't work, go out and get a new one.

It is a spiritual crises and lack of commitment.

We haven't yet learned; love is more than a feeling, its an action. Feelings wax and wane, flights of fancy, a moment of hunger, need, etc.

Real love is not always fun but it survives. Think of the love you have for a child. There are many different types of love.

You know, sometimes men just can not take all that nagging. many women mean well but they over do it. Even after the husband tells them ,im ok. i can handle it, but some wives prefer to believe there own intuition instead. (whatever that means)women always want to replace things with new just because its not attractive anymore or has a visible scratch on it. to make matters worse they insist on spending the money thats not really there. Sometimes i just get sick of buying stuff and being around people. How about a little fun instead, just act silly, a movie, eat out without picking up a thing from the department store. Most of the time women buy clothes just to impress there co-workers.Then they go home after work and throw on any rag. Inconceivable, then i puuk.  

Noah,

I can definitely sense you have dealt with a situation where you were very very frustrated and I hope that you find that all women are not exactly the same.  I think there really has to be balance in two people's personalities to truly stick out the long term commitment marriage is.  If or when these people can do that is when both can be content.  I hope you are now away from whoever broke your spirit on women in general and find happiness.  With or without someone cause sometimes it's better to be on your own instead of unhappy together. 

Men (like boys) have a short attention span.  Most are active and every ten minutes they grab a new toy, tear it apart and try to put it back together.

Women (like girls) are content to sit on the floor and change outfits on their dolls, brushing and braiding their hair while trying to achieve the "perfect" look (they can do this for hours).

Once a woman achieves the "perfect" look, a man turns his head and is hooked (like a fish).  She can only do one of two things:  1)  throw the fish back (or) 2) eat it for supper.  If she throws the fish back, he will swim around until someone else catches him and repeats the process.

If she eats him for supper, she will become his ten minute toy.  At first, he will grab her.  After awhile (ten minutes or so) he loses interest and looks for a new toy.  He then goes to the next step of tearing the old toy apart.  Once he has achieved this, he can only do one of two things:  1) try to put the old toy back together (or) 2) let another man put the old toy back together (while he's busy playing with his new ten minute toy).

Repeat the process.  You ask why?  Because men and women (boys and girls) are different.

Blessings,

I don't know. That is not a question I can answer ..something about human nature, something about the limits of our rationality. Either way, my own heart aches have made me very rational and very practical. I want a stable, strong, wealthy guy who can support me. Here is a link if you feel the same way:

I believe that falling in and out of love happens from time to time to every couple. It is caused by lack of quality time spent together, routine, stress at work etc. What is important is how strong man's values are and this is based on their upbringing. If a man feels responsible for his partner, he wouldn't selfishly leave them but rather try to work on a relationship. I believe that in the past when people in West were more religious this didn't happen that often. I am myself with a religious man and I would recommend it to every woman.
