Missing love

I'm in a longterm relationship (6y) and I miss the feeling of falling/being in love.
I saw a movie lately that reminded me so much of how love used to be - it physically hurt. I wanted to change my life though it's actually very good. And I don't want to destroy it all.
But I feel I need to change it. If I go on like this I fear I might end up being a miserable old fart who hates himself and others.
Since I don't know what to do I started making pseudo-changes, like living more healthy, which is good. But it doesn't help me much with this. Instead I get more lively and nervous by the minute and the feeling I'm missing out on what life could be grows.

I want to fall in love. But my situation doesn't allow for that.
Do you think it's normal?

How can your situation possibly not allow for it? Do you live on an island with nothing but retired seniors? Are you the last man (or woman) on earth? Are you locked up in Gitmo? Go out and meet some fricken women (or men), you pansy!

I said I was in a relationship, not? And I do not want to destroy it.
Ah, what the hell am I doing here?

The bloom is gone . . .
But do you still love her? That falling in love "stuff" does not last forever.

Yes, well I really like her. I'm not sure...about love. Sometimes I do, and sometimes I'd rather be alone, have my freedom.
I know that falling in love does not last forever. But I haven't felt it for so long. Without wanting to sound too pathetic: I feel like I'm dying inside, slowly.
I guess I just need to make up my mind if it's worth throwing away all that seemed important during the last years and still holds some importance for me.
Because I would not want to cheat on her.

i think it is common to get bored in relationships. they are not easy, and they get very predictable. if you love the one you are with, maybe ya'll should get counseling and stick with it, find out ways to add thrills to the boredom. or you may be going through a mid-life crisis, if you are in your 40's or 50's. remember that you are getting older if this is the case, and no one can be young forever. be realistic.
