Nata...this is what it feels like when you have "lost that lovin feeling".
Now you are more freed up to see him objectively...just as he is...without the filter of romantic attraction. Let me tell you--once it is gone...it doesn't come back again.
Now you can just treat him like any other person. giving him his civil rights, is enough.
Just be glad for detachment...don't worry about detachment with "love"....that might take a long time...if ever. In this sense ..I think the word love means "respect".

I am terrified of snakes, for example....but, I would never hurt one and I treat them with the same respect that I do with all of God's creatures....
