Do people suddenly just fall out of love?

[happyhearts]

After years of single Mumness I met a man and we became great friends (for a year). We then developed feelings and have had a further year of the most brilliant relationship. I had been so wary but he was so patient and handled me with great care.

He has been amazing, a real best friend, did everything he could possibly do to help me (and my grown up children), we have always had such a laugh, the sex was great, I felt we could not have been closer.

Then after Christmas it is like a switch has been flicked, he appears to have lost total interest, can't be bothered with anything, lost his sense of fun and it makes no sense?

There were no rows, we get on with each others families, sex was still fine.
Just nothing to trigger it?

I have asked him what's wrong and he just keeps saying he doesn't know. I have very very sadly had to walk away as it has caused me too much upset.

My family have suggested he's depressed but he has always told me he has great mental health.

I am very upset but at a loss what has happened?

Yeah, they panic before the teeth and hair fallout and the willy won't do as it's told. 😂

I fall out of love quickly. One minute besotted the next nowt. I have a poor track record. In my defence I try and communicate I'm struggling in advance as I can see the signs but by then it's too late. Then I totally to off the person even if they are crazy attractive! I am autistic and have adhd so not sure if that has anything to do with it! x it is never because of another person.

Are you male @Qwertyyui ?

As someone on Mumsnet once said -

Men often don't dump women. They just become progressively worse boyfriends/partners until the woman accepts the emotional burden of ending it.

Yes it's a wonderful technique, isn't it.

True diamonds.

They don’t leave for an empty bed. As my old mum would say.
