8 Signs You May Be Falling out of Love in Your Long-Term Relationship

As cliche as it sounds, falling in love can turn your world upside down, changing your plans

(hopefully for the better). But for every great emotion, there is an equal and opposite emotion that can result. Just as you can fall in love with someone you think is your soulmate, you can also fall out of love with that same person. If you have been in this place before or are finding yourself in this murky situation now, there are strong indicators to look for that can help you determine if you are falling out of love with your husband. The therapist relation coaches, authors, and lawyers share 8 signs that suggest you may be falling out of love with your significant other.

If your husband spends less time with you, leaving in a separate house, thinks about someone else, and/or feels apathetic toward your relationship, it may mean that you and your husband aren't right for each other. This doesn't mean that all is lost, though. As a relation therapist; say, "Most of these signs are flexible. You just have to be willing to openly discuss each issue and show you care enough to change the behavior." There are also a lot of resources out there to help you couples rekindle their love, from therapy to counseling "Being apart not in the same house not living together for so many years no sex, no physical contact, that makes me feel that our relation as husband and wife are drifting apart. But, I feel that where no longer in love with each other, maybe just doing for the sake of our children and for me too.

Being honest with my husband about how I feel can be a scary conversation, but a relationship therapist reminds us: "Don't let fear stop you from following your heart." not all relationships are supposed to last forever, but hanging on to one that is not working anymore, you will be preventing yourself from finding the one that will explain about the relationship "falling out-of-love. You have to trust your guts and know that there is a twin flame for you out there somewhere. You may have just to take the plunge and leave your current relationship to pursue the one meant for you. (but, there are so many things to be considered before stepping into another relationship) So, If you are unsure about whether you are still in love with your significant other, read through these signs about falling out of love to become more in tune with what you may be feeling.

1) You Spend less time with your husband

If you and your husband have kids, then finding free time to schedule a date night can be a rare occasion, (that never happen in my entire decades of marriage or maybe because he just too busy meeting the deadline for the family) This, however, doesn't mean that you are falling out of love. But if that free time does pop up during giving a week or weekend and you would prefer to be with your friends rather than spend time with your husband, that could be a strong sign you are not as in love anymore.

Neuropsychologist, and psychotherapist, elaborates on this point. "When we start to fall out of love, the healthy space ware often giving our partners turns to look for other things to do; staying late at work, (and even going home in the morning that happens very often) anything to lessen the time we have to spend with them.

The therapist and clinical mental health counselor agree and add that if there is "no desire to spend time with each other this decreases intimacy/friendship in a relationship. "And without that desire to be together, your love and deeper connection consequently begin to wane.

2) You don't have sex

A specialist in matrimonial and family law, tells "If you haven't had sex in a year, there's probably a problem. Either they're getting it elsewhere or they've fallen out of love. "Be mindful of the reason why you and your partner don't have sex and try to pinpoint them. Physical intimacy is a key point of a healthy, loving relationship, so if these reasons can't be worked through it might be that you're falling out of love.

The specialist pin point them and explains, "Couples who are in healthy, satisfying relationship will want to engage in sex, but it goes beyond that enjoying the act of physical touch. This has to do with the space of emotional, mental and physical intimacy that exists in a connection. The deeper the connection then the more physical touch will routinely become a part of a relationship, but once that intimacy no longer exists that space is no longer safe or comforting and so there will be a distance in the relationship."

3) You have more negative thoughts than positive thoughts

It's perfectly normal to have negative thoughts about your partner from time to time as no one is perfect. But if your thoughts about your partner have become predominantly negative, this can signify a shift in your relationship.

"If you take it even further and find that you are speaking negatively about your partner to others as constantly complaining about them, chances are you are falling out of love."

4) You've stopped thinking of them when you're not together

Early on in a relationship, you can't stop thinking about your significant other. And while it's normal for some of the excitement to wear off, forgetting the factor of your partner into decisions could be a sign of trouble. "You might think, how can I focus on going to work and raising kids when "I'm thinking about my partner all the time?" But consistently taking a partner into consideration is how people stay in love for a long time."

One of the first signs you may be falling out of love with your partner is that they no longer the first person you want to tell something that had happened during the day. "Whether it is because they feel they are being judged or even just not even fully accepted, that emotional distance in communication is often one of the first signs that the relationship is ending."

5) You feel apathetic or annoyed

When you begin a relationship with someone, each of your quirks eventually comes out in the open. These habits can often be cute, endearing, and maybe even attractive to your partner. But if you begin to get annoyed by these tendencies so much so that you even get into fights over him, suggests a shift.

While fighting can be a normal part of a relationship (unless the fighting turns into physical, verbal, mental, or emotional abuse) there is a difference between engaging in a two-sided argument where both partners' feelings are heard; and finding yourself not even caring enough to vent. "If one stops caring and starts holding onto hurt feelings, this can be a sign of apathy. Love and hate are strong emotions but indifference is the telling sign that a lover has stopped caring altogether, after all, "It takes two people to be on the battlefield."

6) At least one person seems distant and unhappy

Expert places great emphasis on being honest with yourself and your current state of happiness within the relationship. If you no longer want to connect or talk as much, or answer questions quickly and curtly, these are all strong indicators that you are unhappy in the relationship. "It can be a depression of sorts, that said, it's paramount to know your happiness and walk away from someone that doesn't make you happy. "Very simply, if you aren't happy then they aren't the one.

Experts also stress that staying in a situation where you are unhappy can lead to mental or physical issues. It is vital to tend to your needs by choosing to live a happy life." This can be achieved by not settling for your circumstances taking control trying to change negative situations or removing yourself."

7) You're checked out

Once you checked out of a relationship, you stop trying to find ways to improve the situation and just accept the less-than-perfect state as the status quo.

While experts say most of these signs can be fixed when recognized early enough, if you're completely unmotivated to make a change or even discuss the issues, your heart may be too far gone to potentially fall back in love. "If one partner is looking to fix and the other partner is not interested then I think the decision has been made," Another sign to be 'checked out" of your relationship is that you no longer have plans or goals to grow as a couple; explains the expert. Both are strong indicators that the heart and head lie, elsewhere.

8) You're thinking about someone else

"If you find yourself thinking about your ex or someone else is more suited for you, that's a huge indication, "And "If you are spending a lot of time in this place, that's an indication. "While thinking about someone else is different from actively engaging in an affair, persistent thoughts about a former lover or someone else who has entered your life are still a sign that you and your current partner aren't the right fit for each other. Experts also point out that it would be healthier for a couple to break up rather than stay together if either of you has fallen in love with someone else.

In terms of cheating, experts explain that it can be a case-to-case situation. Sometimes being with someone else may confirm your love for your partner, other times it may affirm your thoughts that someone else is better suited for you. Cheating is harmful, complicated situation, but the silver lining is that a step away can help you realize you already have found your soulmate- or can force you to let go of the relationship that deep you know no longer works.
