AliBlack Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I just wondered what people's experiences of this were..for those of you who have been in a long term relationship which was going very well for a long time and then you felt neglected by your partner as they were busy with work or the kids etc and your in love feelings for them start to fade but by bit as you felt they didn't really love or need you anymore... My ex left me after 18 years as he felt this, he said he loved me but was no longer in love as his feelings for me wore away bit by bit as I neglected him. If you lose that in love feeling, the spark, can it ever come back? Can it be rekindled? I have heard about couples divorcing and remarrying etc but it would be good to hear of anyone's experience of this?
Taucher Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Hello, Not experienced it in any of MY relationships. But my parents have. My Mum and Dad split up in *thinks* about 2000. They did not get divorced but they did get other partners. My Dad was devastated. My Mum instigated it. They didnt even see each other for about two years of the 6 they were apart. Lived in different houses and everything. Then, somehow (and I am not sure how it started happening) they started seeing each other more (as friends at the beginning) and then grew very close. They moved back in to a new house together (in 2006) and are so soppy it makes me feel queasy (they are my parents!). So yes, it DOES and CAN happen. I just dont know HOW it happened, it was sort of slow. But my dad never gave up. T
