Love is one strange thing – happens when you’re least expecting it, leaves you when you need it the most. It’s almost as if it has a will of its own.

No matter how much you may want to hold on, love that has to die dies anyway. No matter how much you cling on to it, it’ll still slip away if it has to. And that’s why they say, not every love is forever.

Sometimes, we spend years trying to ‘ma​​​​ke it work’, clenching on to the remains of the love that once was, hoping everything will be the same again. Falling out of love happens to the best of us and the least we can do for our partners is to be honest about our emotional absence and let them go.


1. The things that you were once found adorable – those small little eccentricities – the funny sound she makes when she laughs, the way she never gets your sarcasm, her habit of constantly questioning everything, her emotional outbursts – they have begun to bother you. You snap too often, get annoyed at the smallest of things she does and wonder how you ever found any of that attractive.


2. You go out on dates every week. She doesn’t nag like most men say their girlfriends do. She’s completely okay with you hanging out with your guy friends every weekend. You understand and support each other in every way possible. Everything’s just perfect – only, it really isn’t. Something’s amiss. Something you can’t put a finger on, but something your heart really longs for. Something that seems to have gotten lost in all these years. Is it the excitement, is it the spark? Love? Maybe!


3. The idea of meeting them doesn’t excite you anymore, even if it’s after a long time and we’re talking months here. You don’t feel the urge to see them anymore. Gone are those days when you’d take the train even on a rainy day just to meet her over a cup of coffee and talk to her about anything and everything under the sun. Now, you’re always secretly hoping the date gets cancelled because you’d much rather be doing something you really enjoy.


4. Even when you do go out on dates, the silences become awkward and the conversations, mundane. There’s always some place you’d much rather be. The emptiness is so haunting, it’s almost like the both of you can see it – this impermeable void that has found a place on the table. Every time you go out on a date, you walk back home with a bad aftertaste, the reality of a lost battle staring at you right in the face.
