Love gone emotionless

Ive been in a relationship for a year now. Hes 21 im 19. Most days i love him insanely, other days i feel like theres no hope for the success of the relationship. Were both serious minded people who have a lot in common and dont like to sleep around, but sometimes i feel distant, like theres no love. I know it Cant be a passionate flame all the time, but is it normal for that flame to dull?

    a cat will hunt a mouse with vigour but give it the mouse dead on a plate and the cat doesnt want it.

    muster the courage to spend time away from your partner on a regular basis and your chemistry will endure.

    Conscider being single for a while! it's fun and it's good for you! Especially when you're young. Not so fun once you start getting older.

    However count how many people have been together since 19 vs everyone else. He may be someone you love but not someone you can be with forever.

    You're young so it happens but just know it happens when you're married too. What we do is follow the actions of love, because love is an action more than anything else. By doing this the feelings return when they feel lost. like that person who day in day out is there's for you. Eventually you'll love them. People who sex often can tent to eventually catch feelings. And the cycle continues....

  • If your truley in love you'll find a way out of it. Just think of it as god testing you. Can you make it out when it get a little bumpy or are you gonna call it quits? Talk to your partner share your feelings and come up with a solution together. Spice it up, do something spontanious, have a vactaion, go out to dinner whatever fits your boat and you both find happiness with. Maybe you just need reasurance from your partner your love whatever it is the only way to solve this feeling is to be honest and tell your partner how you feel.

  • Uh if you are both such serious people then lighten up. Your boring and dull and you complain about dullness and distance. Mr obvious

    At 19 It's not abnormal for you to be growing and changing emotionally. People grow out of each other, they move on. You might just be starting to feel these growing pains.
