I don't know if I still love my gf

op here, forgot an important bit:

>i've been dealing with slight depression lately (college too hard, no money, parents annoying, etc), so maybe it's that?

5 years is way too much time

Very likely

It's kinda hard to explain. I like spending time with her and i normally feel a little better when i'm with her. But sometimes i notice i'm looking at her and not feeling the some things i used to, and that makes me feel even sadder with everything.

Don't get me wrong i'm not sad all the time and i know i could do a lot worse. But it's a difficult time as you all probably know.

Honestly, it sounds like you should break up with her. It could be a mistake but that's something you can potentially fix after you realize you shouldn't have left her. However, if you say nothing and things don't get better and you wind up breaking up with her because you met someone else, that will hurt her a lot, and that can't be fixed so easily.

Thanks for the advice.

Breaking up would hurt her very much no matter what.
Maybe it would be best to break up only if/when i start liking someone else? Since hurting her will be inevitable that way i at least will know i won't be making a mistake.

desu, that's just me thinking on a way to avoid hurting myself.

Op here, guys. I'm not saying I won't break up if I need to. I just want to know if there's something I should say/do or look for in order to make sure if I still love her or not. Is there a way I can be certain? Because I'm kind of confused right now.

think about what your life would be like without her? think what it would be like if you could never hug, kiss or fuck her, if you could never talk to her or do the things you do together, how do those thoughts make you feel? What do you see your future like with her or without her? I think maybe what you're feeling is just boredom of being with the same person for so long, it's normal. I don't think you should break up with her just yet.

When you get older you move past the hormone crazed love of the young. You get to a comfortable familial love. Just because you feel different doesn't mean you don't love her anymore. You're just upgrading to a new stage

I got to this stage and then got dumped lol.

It feels like garbage because we're still compatible as fuck (on all levels) but he wanted a "chase" again.

He started to feel like home and I guess that was boring for him.
