writes:My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years now. I was so head over heels in love with him and now my heart don’t flutter and I don’t feel as happy as I used to be. My mind is blank lately. I’m not sure why. I don’t want to breakup. It makes me sick to my stomach to ever think that. I just don’t feel as happy or as in love as I once was and it seemingly happened over night. Should I stay and try and gain those initial feelings back? Could it be the stresses of work, bills, buying a home that is causing me to feel like that? I feel so guilty to not be head over heels anymore and it’s making me depressed.

 This is normal, typical, average. Well lets just say this happens in most relationships. There are two things going on, You are getting used to each other, it's not new and exciting, the end of the Honeymoon phase. Second is that every day trials of living together (bills, laundry and so on) are intruding.
In order to have a long term relationship. you have to arrive at this point. So stop worrying about it,
But !
Do worry about it this much. (this is the advice part) At this point in the relationship and in the future you have to put in some more effort to create surprise and excitement. Date night, little gifts, random sex. You get the idea.
