Question Posted Thursday February 17 2005, 1:30 pm
Is it possible to get used to love? I mean i've been going out with my bf for about 8 months and i dont know if have the same feelings for him anymore or unless im just used to love i mean i know i like it when i see him i get excited and get ready for hours and i make sure things have to be perfect my house has to be clean and smell good when he comes over. I have to look good i like to tell him about my day i like to hear about his. So is it just possibly that im just used to him loving me? That i dont feel it anymore. I feel it when we are together.. but not when we are away

Likewise, this is also the time when you might find that love can change in ways you didn't expect, and the two of you can develop a more "mature" form of love that could last a long time.
It would seem that by talking to each other and sharing about how your day went, that the two of you continue to bond and build your friendship that must always underly any romantic relationship, so that is clearly a good thing. ;)
Just continue to communicate openly with him and try to see eye-to-eye on matters of love and friendship. Love changes, it is just up to you on how you let it change and how you deal with those changes that are inevitable. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
