Ive been with this guy for almost 4 years, some of which was long distance, although we are now a couple of hours away from eachother. We used to be seriously in love---all the usual obsessive adoring kind of behaviour, talkin of kids and marriage etc---but we have both come to realise that those feelings have now faded. we still really care about eachother and get along really well, and there is still a basic kind of love there-but its not the same. although we have tried to break up in the past we find it hard to be without eachother.
we now have the opportunity of living together next year (from june onwards), but are aprehensive about how we would feel, and if we could ever get to really love eachother again. i think that our feelings have faded because we hardly saw eachother, and so living together would give us a chace to remember why we fell for eachother in the first place.
but im unsure.
basically im asking: is it possible to get those kind of feelings back?


There is only really 1 way to find out
Aww I think its lovely that you have a guy to spend time with, if you enjoy eachothers company it would be cool living together. However, what if one of you decided your feelings had changed so much that you found someone else...that could be difficult and awkward when living together!

true, although its very unlikely that we will be dating anytime soon....and if enough time passes and we both just want to be friends we could double date :p:
aww well clearly you dont fancy him at all, which is so cool, u should so move in together, u will have loads of fun!
You should probably ask yourself how you'd feel if you were living together and he brought a new girlfriend back to stay, presumably after having made it clear that he didn't feel romantically towards you anymore. If the answer is that you'd find it hard to deal with, then you probably shouldn't move in with him. If you feel like you'd be ok with it, and could move on, then go for it. Whilst living together might bring you a lot closer together, and allow you to rekindle what you had, it might also make it completely clear, fairly quickly, that you two weren't meant to be together.

No,it can't be! I'm in love with being in love atm:redface: Ah the object of my desire is so, well gorgeous,mmmmm, everybody should be in love and experience it's emotional heights and depths, being in love is part of the Human condition, so is being out of love:frown:

Uhm,oh dear a little side-tracked there :redface: so to your dilemna...well it could be possible to recapture the deep feelings you had for each other, did you just become kind of "used" to each other?

Sometimes being in a new environment with a former lover can re-ignite the initial attraction:smile:

well we didnt get used to eachother in the traditional sense because we didnt see eachother so often. i think the main thing is, he is worried about it getting complicated if one of us feels one way and the other doesnt...but im doubtful that that would happen....and isnt it worth it to find out?

They haven't faded exactly you've both likely got so comfortable with each other it doesn't seem important anymore. You both should give it a try to move in with each other to see what it's like.

Ilike to think love metamorhosises over time. It may feel weird now but give it a few more years and you will feel "love" again. Its just growth. Your both evolving as people and when you find that middle ground and see wach other again i predict it will be better for you both.

Don't worry about it, your relationship is just entering a different stage - the two year rule if you like. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4669104.stm

... but for four years.
