Wow! How did you overlook "Changes in fitness lifestyle"?  If one partner or the other changes diet or fitness habits and gets "out of shape" I think that's got to be one of the leading causes of  "Reasons men fall out of love".  This nation is now leading the world in percentage of obese people; and our rise to that rank has been meteoric.

If you fall "out of love" with a person because their body changes you were not really in love with them in the first place.

Everyone's body changes. Yet, there are millions of couples who don't fall "out of love" because of that.

Sure, I know people will argue the point. Argue away but you will never convince me you were really in love in the first place. At best you really liked the person and were in deep deep lust.

How about "in FAT u ation"? OK, maybe I am a little off track?

Any plastic surgery between you two?

 I really think this was well thought out and I couldn't agree more. This is coming from a person who was aware of all these causes yet still fought against them for mad years. But if your partner doesn't acknowledge the need to make these changes, then there's nothing that can be done to avoid the end of the relationship..

 Not sure who or what wrote this, but it sounds so one sided it's not funny. I have a gut feeling to put this all into words one has to remember that these particular situations would have come up and probably been ignored as just a part of daily life. And the later assessed, by perhaps two adults with the sense and know how of how to get out of these 'ruts'.  If you do get into one of these  situations, you arent really in a relationship. Nobody is going to be perfect. That's what makes life sooo interesting.

Let's face it, men only care about how a woman looks. He'll stay "in love" as long as he thinks you are the prettiest woman he can get. If he can get someone better looking, he'll either cheat on you or dump you for her. Doesn't matter if you never criticize him, if you're in his corner, if you never complain, if he can get someone with larger breasts and a smaller waist, you're history. You KNOW that's the truth.

That sounds pretty grim to me.

Men are people, too. We aren't solely driven by visuals.

Well...at least the less scummy among us.

The reasons for me falling out of love is real simple, rudeness. A girlfriend who withdraws, acts rude, acts stubborn, always late, does not follow through on plans will quickly fall out of favor. Rudeness counters the behavior taught while growing up and is not the way I treat others.
