Is it possible to fall back in love?

[PumpkinPasty]

A friend has "fallen out of love" with her DH. So, could she (with a bit of work)fall back in love, or is a case of once it's gone, it's gone?

I can't help but think it's not all over yet, if she would try - she thinks I'm naive

She is at the stage where he is repelling her - she finds him almost repulsive

I still think there's hope!

What did she love about him in the first place? Has he changed?

Perhaps it's just stressful real life getting in the way -

I think it could be possible, and quite likely too, but DEFINITELY worth exploring, can you babysit so they can go out on a date or something?

Anyone else got any good ideas?

It most certainly is possible to fall in love again!

It involves a lot of soul searching and taking a long hard look at yourself but, it can work.

for me.....i thought i'd fallen out of love with dp once before and now i really have fallen out of love with him (we have recently seperated) i can tell there is a big difference. Before....it really was life getting in the way. This time....i tried to carry on, convinced that it was just another phase but it wasn't. I felt physical repulsion at doing anything in bed with him and i just knew that i couldn't be with him anymore.
It's been very hard for me to come to terms with, and i did a lot of soul searching for months before i finally had to admit that it was over.

She really, really needs to be sure that she has fallen out of love with him and that it's not just life and the natural changes that take place in a relationship.
I hope she can work it out and get her love for him back...........

Sometimes, it isn't the other person who has changed but it's the person who claims to have fallen out of love. This lady's dh might be quite oblivious to how she is feeling.

Hi QR!! Lovely to 'see' you!

i think it is possible, i know with dh i tend to go in cycles, i don't find him repulsive but sometimes i most definitely don't want him around, but then a few weeks later love him to bits again

I never got to the repulsive stage, but yes, I have fallen out of and back in love with DH

She needs to go back to the beginning - forget about being a married couple and comfortable etc - go on dates, hold hands, kiss (sex not the thing here, just affection), talk into the night etc

Thank you for your replys

I just think she's shooting herself in the foot and will come to realise what she's lost if she doesn't try to rekindle things

It gives me hope to think that there is a comeback even from really tough times, and I am glad some people agree!

So does it happen to everyone at sometime do you think?
