They say love changes with time, that the honeymoon phase fades, that real love is what’s left when the spark settles.

But what happens when one person stops feeling the warmth, and the other is still clinging to the embers?
Two months ago, he said he wasn’t happy. That something was missing.

So she opened up. She listened. She stayed. She hoped. But while she was putting in the work to reignite what they had, he was quietly deciding it wasn’t worth saving, and now he’s gone.

She’s not just mourning the breakup. She’s mourning the version of love where effort mattered. And now she’s left asking the question so many hearts have whispered in the quiet: If love can fade, can it ever come back? Or was she just the only one who foolishly still believed it could?

This 27-year-old woman has been with her fiancé for seven years, but sadly, he dumped her yesterday. They own a home, have dogs, and their wedding is set for next year.

Two months ago, her fiancé revealed to her that he was no longer happy. Not only that, he admitted that he had lost his feelings for her.

Apparently, he had been carrying that around for some time before finally saying something to her. They ended up having a deep conversation that very same day, but she walked away feeling like her world had shattered.

She sat there and listened as her fiancé shared all of his feelings with her, as she wanted to validate them. She took it upon herself to put the work in to fix what was in her power.

They both acknowledged that working towards a better relationship would take time and effort on both of their parts, but they were all in.

They also both came to the conclusion that they had messed up equally in a couple of aspects, yet they were committed to staying together.

Well, yesterday, he blindsided her by insisting it was time for them to break up. She felt devastated and betrayed.

He’s been pulling away from her in the two months since that initial conversation, even though they agreed to put in work.

She’s disappointed that he lied to her and failed to try in the least. He didn’t even put in the bare minimum. Instead, he spent the last few months coming home super late and just not speaking to her.

What hurts the most is knowing he didn’t care enough to try. If she stops to consider the last year as a whole, her fiancé showed her so much love and affection, she’s left wondering if perhaps he was playing pretend all along.

“I know that couples go through the phase where they get too comfortable with each other, which leads to losing the romance a bit,” she explained.

“Which I guess we have been in that stage for a while, but I still love him very much, we are best friends. But he’s scared that we are just friends and he doesn’t think he can get that love back.”

“I knew that repairing the relationship would take a while, but I feel like he thought that it would get fixed by itself within 2 months. I’m not sure what advice I am looking for, I guess that main thing is if I should keep fighting for us?”
