How can someone's love for you stop so abruptly?

Often, what feels abrupt is not necessarily abrupt. Falling in and out of love are processes. We might not always be aware of what the other person is feeling, but often in retrospect we can see that there were signs of things being a little bit different. It's a tough burden to bear when someone falls out of love with you, and as soon as they tell you, it can feel like your world is falling apart. However, it might not have been so abrupt.

Nobody knows if its real love. real love takes time to develop the comfort to be yourself with them and trust them with all of your deepest secrets. if they stopped just all of a sudden the chances are that it wasn't real love

I think that there might be a few scenarios here. But the most probable one is that maybe there have been signs that this person is already seeking out to you but probably, these signs were too weak or indirectly expressed so they tend to be dismissed ( things like "she is just having some drama; it will pass away, or something happened which results to this behavior of her etc").. You know your loved one will expect that you know them well so probably that's one of the main reason they don't directly say it. Maybe they are confused as well. They may also don't want you to be bothered by something small or insignificant ( in which they are also confused on how to identify it themselves). But, you know, small things add up and as these things are pushed aside, they build up and so it gets to the point that they could no longer bear it and so emotions explode and that happens.

There are many reasons as to why people stop loving each other, from character to environmental differences. The idea is to accept that it has happened and how to move on there after.

I don't believe that love stops abruptly. People can go for long periods thinking about changes in their lives and never vocalize them when they have those thoughts. When they do begin to talk about change, it may seem abrupt because the other person just didn't know. It really boils down to good and open communication.

Most likely it didnt. Love is a strong emotion that takes time to develop. The same way it doesn't stop overnight. Most probably it was slowly diminishing over a period of time.

I feel that there are many levels of love. You can love a food, love a song or artist, love your pet, love your sibling, love your aunt, your parent, your boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/spouse. Does this love start in an instant, or build over time as you get to know the person? I would say it all depends, and so the type of love felt towards someone can end in a similar fashion. It can fade over time, or perhaps through some event or perceived slight, change quickly.

It sounds like you've recently been placed in a situation where someone abruptly changed their feelings for you. Often times we as people slowly start to change and do not realize it until the change has already taken place. When we finally talk about it this usually shocks and surprises people who are directly involved.

I wish there was an exact answer for this but there really isn't. I've questioned it so many times as well but I've got none. I personally don't think that someone's love for you can stop so abruptly. If it did, it just means that they never loved you in the first place. You also have to understand what the word 'love' means to you. In that way, you'll know if they really did. But to be honest, it doesn't just stop. There might be circumstances where the relationship doesn't work out and so it may seem like they just completely stopped. Maybe they chose to act that way? You'd never really know. But what I do know is that in my own definition of 'love', it doesn't stop abruptly. Maybe over time but not right away.

Love is an interesting feeling. There is a difference between love and lust. Distinguishing which emotion it is may seem that is abruptly stopped but was never love to begin with.
