Love is sweet. Love is precious. Love is beautiful. But after all these good things, when it all comes to an end, when you finally realize that the love you felt for him/her was now just a thing of the past, then what? This is one of the most common dilemmas a person may face as he goes on with life. Falling out of love. Let's face it. We are not perfect. Sometimes, we make things and invest in it, thinking that this is the real thing and that it will last forever only to realize in the future that you were wrong. Sadly, not everything is within the palm of our hands, and we certainly cannot foresee the future. This problem is an excellent source of guilt and remorse. Unless we know how to deal with this problem and take the right actions, we could do some things that we might feel sorry for in the future.

Before doing anything, one should think a million times before doing any action, as one small mistake may mean depressing outcomes. First of all, try to ponder if he/she is worth keeping. What would life be without him/ her? Are you really sure that you want to end your relationship with him/her? These are simple yet complicated questions at the same time. You might have a quick answer as of the moment, but would it still be the same tomorrow? How about the next day? Love is a complex feeling, and sometimes unpredictable and fickle. A few heated arguments may cause you to feel that you want to escape from that person, or that you don't want to see him/her again, but that doesn't mean that you don't love him/her. If this is so, then don't hesitate to rekindle the flame that you two shared. Remember the good times that you had together. It may not be too late to save your relationship. After all, it is said that love is sweeter the second time around.

Looking on another angle, a different factor that you will need to consider is how honest will you be toward him/her? You cannot always pretend that you love someone you don't. How will you break the news to him/ her? It is really hard not to feel sorry for that person. The intense guilt that it brings is also natural. However, you really need to stand firm on the decision that you will need to make. Remember that sometimes, the right way is the hard way. It is better to be honest rather than make a fool out of the person in hopes of avoiding him/her getting hurt. If you have pondered to yourself long enough and felt that you have lost all the love that you once had for him/ her, then it is time for you to tell him/her about it. Yes, he/she will get hurt, you will also get hurt, but this is the right thing to do. In the long run, you guys will get over it, and will view things much deeper, in a more mature way.

Falling in love is a complex part of human life. Unfortunately, as vulnerable as we are to falling in love, we are also prone to falling out of it as well. We make things for the better, but sometimes, life catches us unaware and we end up back to square one. Whatever your decisions may be, always keep in mind that it requires a great deal of courage and maturity to be ruthlessly honest and to rekindle a dying relationship. Either way, you need to stand up to your decisions and know that your relationship with your special someone is like a patchwork of good and bad things, each with a story and a lesson to learn.
