My husband has moved out and is living his new life without me. I’m still very much in love with him. How do I fall out of love with him?

You cannot really just fall out of love with someone just because you want to. I mean, let it happen. If it doesn't, then let it be. Only time will tell. Also, you don't really fall out of love with someone. Falling out of love is only a concept 'we' created thinking it happened after we moved on or found someone new. It is the timing, it is the effort put forth, and faith that really disappears and not falling out of love.

I had a similar issue a few years ago. At first I was all about moving on too but about 6 months after our separation I realized I was still in love with him. He was a total jerk too. The only way I found to get over him was to fall in love with someone else, which I eventually did. The problem is that I guess I had nasty relationship habits that resurfaced in my new relationship and I destroyed something beautiful with someone awesome. It's been 5 months and I cannot stop grieving. So my advice based on my own experience is to 1: do a self inventory and analyze yourself in relationships. This is a good way to avoid making the same mistakes in the future. I personally thank the universe that I know myself so much better now because with my last relationship I very much got what I deserved. 2: if you have it at all in you get out either on dates or with friends. I met a girl online going through a similar situation and we talk all the time, this helps a lot. Unfortunately she lives too far for us to hang out but just to have someone to talk to that can relate really helps. I know for me my friends are probably bored of hearing about it, its been 5 months and I feel dumb enough without continuing to rant about the same thing after this long. I'm sorry you're going through this, just remember you're not the only one. Love!
