My boyfriend says we have lost our spark!

Question - (21 March 2010) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 March 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

How is it someone can just gradually lose that spark of love and compassion for another? Is there any way to gain it back?

I've been with my boyfriend for almost two years now and a month before our anniversary he says he's just not feeling it anymore. He says I make him happy and that I'm doing everything right but he's unhappy with the fact that he doesn't do the things that he used to when we first got together and that he isn't treating me the way someone else should. He has the ability to but just doesn't want to I guess anymore...I just don't understand and it's extremely hard for me to grasp, let alone figure out what to do.

Thanks for the offers of help but he broke up with me today. He just says that he's doen't feel the same and he doesn't want to try and see if its possible to work out. He still wants to be my friend and I suppose I'm glad for that but its still incredibly hard when I adore him so much. I just hope he fully realizes what he's done to me and my family and one could only hope that someday he'd see that it was a mistake. Either way I just need to look up even when it feels like my world is crashing down around me.

I'm in the same situation with my girlfriend. You just got to give him his space and don't talk to him. He'll either miss you or he won't.

Entirely Unique agony auntWhen you've been with someone a long time you can find yourself and them slipping into a comfortable situation with each other.

This isn't always a bad thing but the things that once were just normal to do become something you have to bring back into the relationship and new things become things you just do second nature.

The longer you leave something the harder it becomes to act on the situation, try bringing these things back yourself, make the little gestures you used to when things were new and exciting.
