Relationships don't always end with an unforgivable transgression or a firey fight, sometimes they can just... fizzle. But how can you differentiate between the standard hum drum of a long term relationship and when the love has really left?

In a recent Reddit thread – which asked, "When did you realise you didn't love your SO anymore?" – here's where nine men drew the line. 

 

 

1."When we held hands and I felt nothing."

2. "One day I was walking home from work and it hit me like a ton of bricks that I only really enjoyed having a boyfriend when we weren't actually together in person."

3. "When I realised that I cared for her because I feel obligated to, not because I loved her." 

4. "When she went on trip for a month and the day she came back I would realised I'd rather stay in bed." 

5. "When getting together to do anything just felt like going through the motions, and I stopped getting excited to see her."

6. "When I realised I don't have to be with anyone who is okay with having an affair and cheating on me. She never blamed me, she never used me as an excuse for her actions. She revealed the affair and we decided to work on it. However she was not helping me rebuild my trust. She made it harder for me. Five months later she revealed she cheated again, packed her shit and left two days later. I realised it was completely over when we had discussions about relationships we were having during our separation and it didn't phase me."

7. "We were out to dinner and I realised I didn’t want to be there at all anymore, and that I was bored to tears. We split soon after."

8. "I started to notice when I no longer had the urge to go out of my way to hang out with her. I preferred staying home rather than hanging out with her, and realised that I was no longer romantically interested in her." 

9. "She asked, 'Do you even care that I'm upset?!' I realised I didn't."
