I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for over 3 years, the first two years we were long distance, and this past year we were in the same city. We have been speaking about marriage in the near future, however, we are waiting until he is done school and starts his job.
This year, a few of my friends got married. Almost every time a friend got married, I suddenly just felt like I don't like my boyfriend anymore. The day before I loved him and thought about marriage and what our life would be like together, but the next day suddenly I had no feelings at all.
This has happened about 3 times and I am now on the 4th. The other times the feelings went away and I decided to stay with him and see if I can still love him. This time, I somehow don't feel as though the feelings will come back. I want to want to love him- I want him to the be the one I am going to marry- however, I just don't feel that way right now.
He is the perfect guy- kind, friendly and outgoing, sincere, easy going, attractive etc. yet I don't even feel like I like him even as a person or feel attracted to him at all.
What is wrong with me- how can I just change my feelings so quickly, and why do these feelings come after a wedding occurs?

OP,

To be honest with you, I don't understand you either. Don't be so dramatic please, if he is a right one then keeping him. So what if everyone is getting married, now more people are getting fired, does it make you dislike your job more?
Your mind is creating a hell, only you can change your thoughts and it's simply being rational instead of being dramatic.

Its sounds like your losing interest only out of clear fright. You are afraid that marriage may change things, however I believe that you are putting yourself under 2 much pressure if you love him why not? Marriage is what gives 2 people the definite OK to spend their lives together however who said marriage had to be mandatory hell you could love him, without placing rings, and if you see your friends getting married does that necessarily mean you have to join the loop and also get married. Your afraid its normal, your becoming paronoid and entering a state of paranormal and because your thinking of entering a life your not quite ready for. But who exactly is forcing you to engage yourself into marriage. If you love him, you love him regardless, you don't just wake up 1 day and say your confused about him that's impossible if you really love him, but talk to him about it, and don't stress it, you'll know what you want to do, as you continue in your relationship...

I think until your own plans for marriage come about, the weddings of others will have this effect.

You already know the feelings will pass, so don't make them a bigger deal than what they are. Just know you have them, when, and why, and let them pass.

It sounds like the OP needs some space to be alone and find what she wants in life. Why don't you ask him for some space and see if you miss him. If not, then you know it was not to be, else you know that your feelings for him is real.
