I've been in a relationship with a girl for a while but she suddenly told me she doesn't feel the same way how she did before and doesn't like me romantically anymore. It feels very sudden and has been an emotion she must have been holding up before hand. Although she's said this, she says she doesn't like anyone else and doesn't want to be in a relationship with anyone else. How does this happen? For someone to just stop liking you out of the blue but not have a ulterior motive, is there a psychological explanation for this?
You'd think you only stop loving your former partner when you've been seeing a different one, or have an eye on somebody else.

chad flirted with her and she is making sure her options are open.

No OP. People don't change. You have the same preferences you had when you were 18 I'm sure.

Humans aren't monogamous. That's really the only explanation.
You can try to do things that might help you both re-bond (i.e. cuddling, fucking, etc), but this is probably the end of the line. Take note:
1. It probably wasn't anything personal
2. This is why it is said that successful, long-term relationships take dedication. They wouldn't need dedication if you just felt in-love the whole time.
3. It's unclear whether you two are still together, but if you aren't, take comfort in the fact that it probably would have never worked out, anyway
People fall in and out of love all the time. It takes a lot of effort to maintain a relationship for a long time, and also this >>9078013.

That's interesting, but then , what is love if Human's aren't monogamous?

Something incredibly romanticized by stories and media. It follows a pretty simple theme present in all impossible human desires:
impossibe desire = (something good) + (lasting forever)

>what is love if Human's aren't monogamous?
It's a strong emotion with the potential of giving life meaning, but it can also be discarded like a used tissue after sex.
It's all up to the people involved.

Nah, good love is when you find someone you like for sex AND for things which you actually care about.
I'd say it would be like fucking your best friend.

The one time I broke up with someone I gave them this exact excuse. That it was nothing.
The truth in my case was that I had gotten bored of sex with her and I wanted to fuck other people, but I could not bring myself to cheat on her so I decided to break up first. So your gf right now may be getting some vitamin D.

That's precisely what I'm saying, though. In culture and media (and, according to human desires formed from those things), we want that in-love state to last between people forever, except it doesn't. The best you get is like what you said, a best bud who fucks well (which isn't bad, mind you, but isn't the same as permanent in-love feelings)

Yeah, its got nothing to do with the other rich guy she wants to leech off of.
Normie media came up with something called "sudden repulsion syndrome" a while ago, but I don't think it ever made it to actual science.
