You may not have realized it at first, but once you did, it’s all you can think of. You may not be able to remember the last time she said it and you wonder exactly when she fell in love with her. If you ask her, she just smiles and she tells you that you’re being silly or that she doesn’t want to talk about it. A woman always knows when something has changed in her relationship. If she hasn’t expressed her love for you and her actions say more of the same, it’s time to take control. If you leave this situation unattended, she will become more and more distant to the point that she will eventually leave you.
Try to remember when your boyfriend stopped saying “I love you.” Although she may not be able to pinpoint the exact day, she should be able to approximate the time she started walking away. Was there anything in particular that you two were arguing about then? Did something happen that hurt you emotionally? If you can determine what may have contributed to him feeling less connected to you, apologize for it. Let him know that you regret what happened. Be genuine and sincere when you apologize and promise to right the wrong. This single act can sometimes help tremendously.
Maybe it’s been more of a slow progression and he’s been drifting away from you for a while. In this case, you need to reflect on when you were first together and how the dynamic between the two of you then differs from the dynamic between you now. Sometimes a couple just stops trying to keep the romantic part of their relationship alive. They end up living more as friends than mates and while they still adore each other deeply, the love may have fizzled out. If you think this is the case, you need to put more effort into rebuilding that lost spark.
Unfortunately, what it usually means for a relationship when your boyfriend stops saying “I love you” is that the end is near. If he’s not the type who does well with confrontation, he can allow the connection between the two of you to die very slowly. This can take months or even years. If he’s more direct, be prepared for him to tell you in the very near future that he needs some time or a break. A man who is not in love will eventually want his freedom so that he can pursue a relationship with someone he truly adore.
