As time passes, you're more likely to fall out of love with your partner. Is this true?

I think sometimes it could just be a matter of moving on to a different type of love. Rather than passionate love (the initial stage of falling in love), you and your partner may have gotten comfortable with each other and just moved on to a more stable stage. It may seem as though you are “falling out of love” because the initial excitement of going on dates, trying to impress each other have faded. Things kind of become more routine and “boring” in comparison to when you first got together. For me, small stuff makes me realize how I’m still very much in love with the man. Things like how he is always the first person I would notice in a crowded room, like how seeing him inevitably brings a smile to my face.. very subtle but very telling. :) So, I think it’s not a matter that you are falling out of love with time, but becoming more comfortable to the point that it’s so natural, you didn’t notice you are “in love”.
