One of the most unfortunate statistics you will ever read in our country is that of the divorce rate. A whopping fifty percent of marriages end in divorce. The fact of the matter is many times love is quick, infatuating and short lived. Many times people will get together because they are feeling something of the moment, only to realize later that the moment is gone, and they no longer have those feelings towards the other person. Here is how you can easily tell if you are no longer in love.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

  • Relationship
  • Love or lack thereof
  • Ability to communicate

Step1
Analyze your relationship. The first thing you want to do is take a good long look at your relationship. Does it all make you happy? Are you romantically fulfilled? Are there intimacy issues or other conflicting issues which would cause you to feel this way?
Step2
Compare the pros and cons. Once you have answered all of the relevant questions it is time to take a look at the relationship as a whole. Are you happy with the relationship, and if not why and is there any way to fix it without having to end the relationship?
Step3
Imagine what it would be like to be single. Sometimes we do not realize how much we rely upon the other person until well after they are gone and out of our lives forever. Try and imagine what every day would be like without that person in your life, do you still think you are not in love with them anymore?
Step4
Ask the important questions to get the necessary answers. After you have completed the first three steps, you should have a pretty good idea as to whether or not you are still in love with this person. If you decide that you are not in love with them anymore, do you and your partner a favor, and let them know how you feel!

Tips & Warnings

  • Are you sure your relationship is over, is it really them or is it you? Figure these things out well before you make a decision of any kind regarding your relationship status.
  • Make sure you think everything through and look over the situation several times before you make a life changing decision that you may later on regret.

on 5/1/2008 I am seriously thinking about divorcing my husband of these last fourteen years. Whatever was there in the beginning has died. I knew when I married him he was not my soulmate. We are and have been told by many people we are polar opposites. I will admit I am scared to death about becomming single again, but I believe I will be happy in the end. I don't want to live with regret for the rest of my life and now that I am in my early forties I need to make a change.
