When he says he is no longer in love with you any more

I have heard this often: I love him/her but I am not in love with him/her anymore! I have pondered on what this actually means and what the one saying it is trying to communicate. As you would agree, there seems to be a contradiction: I love yet I don’t.

Interestingly, what I hear more often is “I don’t feel him/her anymore”. The “feel” means LOVE. Once upon a time, I was in love and yes I am no longer in love, I feel my spouse no more. This has got me thinking what this thing called love is, where does it begin and end? Is it a feeling that wears out? Can you put it on and off?
