"Lost that Loving Feeling," feat., Andrew Utter

Andrew Utter speaks on the importance of understanding the origins of love in a relationship in the possibility of sustaining a lasting relationship before 'losing the loving feeling' leaves love lost at a point of no return. Andrew is a recent Ph.D. from Stanford University in German Studies, and works professionally as an actor and a director.

People commonly differentiate between loving someone and being in love with someone. And for the latter, 'being in love with' someone is frequently identified by the presence of some 'loving feeling'. But is this correct? We pose it you:

Does the loss of the 'loving feeling' necessarily mean that a person has fallen out of love with someone?

Okay, now. Say a person genuinely falls out of love with someone after an amount of time. Another issue which people seem divided on is whether 'being in love with' a particular person is one shot gig. That is:

Does genuinely falling out of love with a person make it impossible to be in love with that same person again some time in the future?

  1. Often "falling out" of love is more like a state of amnesia. The love is still there, it's just lost within a person's heart, so to fall back in love with someone can just require a single moment, instance, example, or action that triggers the release of all that love that's already there, hiding. However, love remembered is not necessarily love rekindled. Some fires are better left unstoked.
