True love does not exist. Only love. Whether that love continues for all your life depends on you and your partner. If you lose your partner, there'll always be someone else even if you didn't get a chance to meet 'em.
If 'true love' did exist, it would most certainly not be your true love if you fall out of it? :P
Of course you can fall out of love... Like @FlyingJesus; said people change daily. It also depends completely on circumstances and what is going on in your lives and your partners lives, different experiences change people and sometime for the worse.
I believe that true love can both exist and that you can also fall out of love.
Picture it like this. You meet someone and it's great you go out for years and eventually get married but something changes. Maybe one of the people in the relationship does something that the other doesn't agree with, maybe something happened and they've went down a path of destruction. You could fall out with this person and hate what they have become that doesn't mean it wasn't proper love in the past.
Things can end between things other than just falling out of love. As long as the break up isn't horrifically messy then I think there's always something there but if there's something seriously wrong which ends the relationship like cheating then I think feelings can dry up - but then you'd debate whether that was true love.
Nope.
My mum and dad used to be in love, now they hate eachother. But they still carry strong feelings for eachother. Even if my dad acts like a ****.
So maybe you won't still be in true love, but you will still love eachother. If you see what I mean?
Can someone define what true love is?
I don't think it can be defined because its different for everyoneQuote:

I think true love exists in a moment. I love my girlfriend and interestingly we dated before but didn't really know each other at the time and decided to remain friends its only know we know each other a lot we've given it another try. Obviously there was something still there when we where friends, but at the same time if she was to cheat on me, I'd probably hate her and my feelings would diminish.Quote:

But on the other hand, I guess its possible to have true love for someone in some respects, or totally respect and cherish everything about them. I personally don't believe its possible to get rid of these kind of feelings when they get that strong no matter how hard you try and no matter what happens. They could do everything in their power to upset you, destroy you or they could break your heart, but those feelings still would never go away, purely because they've become a part of you and undoing that is extremely hard.
