The title and topic description basically say it all, but allow me to clarify:

Say you are in a relationship for a semi decent amount of time, like 4 months or so and you realize that you no longer feel the same way about your significant other. Do you break up right away? Talk it out, maybe come to a mutual consensus about how to go about "working on things"? Pull the disappearing act where you avoid that person? How do you handle it?

Imo, the best thing to do is to talk about it. I don't think it's far for the other person to be given the cold shoulder or to be avoided. I wouldn't like that. If you really care about your significant other & want to work things out, try to spark up the relationship; go out on exciting dates, try different things, anything to spark excitement & get those feelings that you once had. I've also heard that spending time apart from someone is good. Try not seeing or communicating with each other for a few days & see what happens. It's suppose to make you "miss" that person & remind you why you're with them. I hope my advice helped. Good luck. flowers.gif

Sigh. The reason I ask is because I guess I'm going through a break up. I say I guess simply because we discussed it, the reason for it being my change in feelings & we agreed to him taking a few days to think things out. I'd say we're pretty much through, since I cannot imagine wanting to be with someone after they basically told me they don't see me as a romantic interest any longer, but simply an exceptionally close friend. He "adores" me though, and I know we will be friends, but it'll hurt him since his feelings have managed to remain stable & intact. I don't think dates & exciting things are going to be an option at this point while everything is out on the table awaiting finality. Thank you for your advice though. sad.gif

Hey all i can say is that everything takes time.
Time heals and Time passes

As long as you and the other person talk and find a common ground then you should be fine.
it's tough to start but afterwards it'll be all good
