Is it possible to fall out of love with someone after a long period of time?.....I no longer have sexual feelings for my spouse. I care about him like I would a brother or other family member whom I have no sexual chemistry with. I've gone to counseling, had my hormones checked. There simply isn't a spark there anymore. We get along okay. We make great "companions", but I feel like the zing-zing and if I'm going to spend the rest of my life with someone, it should be there....and it's not. Should I consider getting a divorce?....

i have just been on the receiving end of that situation and believe me if my husband had come out and told me how he was feeling we might have been able to do something about it instead he started talking to someone that was removed entirely from our situation and who did not know me and now he is in love with her. please try not to make the same mistake he has open up to your husband things can become same old but you should try to rediscover each other again if everything else is good in the relationship dont throw it all away without at least trying.

good luck hopefully your out come will be better than mine

of course u can fall out of love with someone, u can also still love someone and not be sexually attracted to them either. and it happens to people all the time.

its hard to stay interested when its the same old same old.

it could also be that the emotional connection diminished overtime.

the decision is urs to make about getting a divorce. if u have done all that u could have done to try and get help, then there may be nothing u could do at all to save it. and its not right to stay with someone when u have lost those feelings.its not fair to him who will continue to love u and adore u with little knowlege about how ur really feeling about him. u should talk to him about it if u havnt and if u choose a divorce dont just spring it up on him out of the blue.

hope i helped.
