When you hear the words 'I love you but I'm not in love with you anymore'
Question Posted Wednesday May 30 2012, 3:14 am
Recently my boyfriend said things arent working and that he loves me but he is not in love with me anymore. However I don't feel the same, I am still in love with him and want to be with him, we have been through so much. We said we are going to talk about things but I know it will end in a break up which I really don't want to happen. They say 'if you love someone let them go' but its so hard. How can I make him see that it might just be a rough patch and we can sort things out?

It's unfortunate and we want them to see that it's a bad patch but - you can't force someone to love you. When you talk with him ask him exactly what it is that he feels and what he thinks is the problem between you two - don't let him just say it's not working or there's nothing between you any more. Make him explain what he feels for you, why he fell out of love with you, what makes him think that it's not just a bad patch. If he dots around the questions, if he doesn't want to talk, then I'm sorry to say but it sounds like he's trying to take the easy way out by saying I don't love you any more. But by asking these questions you gain closure if the dreaded 'break-up' does happen. Im not gonna be one of those people and tell you that there's plenty more fish in the sea because I know how it feels to just want to be with that one person. It's absolutely heartbreaking to know that it's gonna end but you have to remember one thing and know that it's not your fault. You have done everything you can to show him that you love him and show him that your in this relationship for the long haul, through good and bad times.
I hope it works out for you, I'm here if the outcome isn't what you wanted. I wish you the best of luck.
