How to Fall Out of Love

Video Transcript

"Falling off a turnip truck is a fairly easy thing to do. And if you fall off a turnip truck, you're probably in a whole different category. So, how do you fall out of love? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls: A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating and host of Ask Dr. Paul. Mundane is the word. Boring, that's how you fall out of love. And it's a two-way street to fall out of love. If you want to fall out of love, the easiest way to do it is to be b-o-r-i-n-g, boring. Be mundane. Be predictable. Be boring, boring, boring to your significant other, and you will fall out of love. And so will he or she. So if that's your objective and that's your goal, then simply be boring. Because remember, hate is not the opposite of love. Indifference is the opposite of love. So if you want to be indifferent, you don't have to be nasty. You don't have to be mean. You can just be indifferent. We, oftentimes, have a term for that in psychology. It's called passive-aggressive behavior. Whatever. Works for you, doesn't it? Whatever, indifference. So if that's what you want, be careful what you ask for. You might get it. This is Dr. Paul. May your fantasies of today be your realties of tomorrow."
