Is it normal to lose feelings for your partner?

Depends.It depends

Yes, feelings for a partner can fade or change, and it happens to plenty of people. Whether it’s a passing rough patch or a sign the relationship has run its course depends on what’s behind it and how you feel over time.

Feelings aren’t steady all the time. Stress, resentment, routine, or simply changing as a person can make you feel less close for a while. Sometimes the spark comes back when you reconnect; sometimes you realize you no longer want the relationship.

You don’t have to force yourself to feel something or make an instant decision. Notice whether you want to work on the relationship, and consider an honest, kind conversation with your partner. Losing feelings doesn’t make you a bad person, but being clear with each other is kinder than pretending everything is fine.
