  Of course you don't really stop loving each other. But typically it subsides into a platonic or familial love. You spend enough time with someone, of course they're still going to matter to you. 
  I'm still friends with my ex. We broke up for a number of reasons, but a big one was that there was a lack of romantic or sexual love in the relationship. We really just felt like friends. So it was easy to transition. We aren't crazy close and don't talk all the time, but we still keep each other updated, provide emotional support, and will help each other out if needed. >
  
  You can fall out of love with someone. Love isn't eternal and people change. 
  I was with my ex for 7 years and at the end we were basically just roommates. We still hung out and talked and we argued too but we got along just fine most of the time and we still do now. We decided it was time to end the relationship because neither of us was getting what we wanted out of it so we did. 
  When we see eachother now we just talk like friends and we're fine with eachother but neither of us want to get back together. It seems like your whole premise hinges on the fact that if you love someone your feelings will never change and that simply isn't true. >
  
  Where is it written that you can’t? >
  
  Why? Just because you don’t connect with them as a romantic partner doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy who they are as a person. >
  
  Me and my ex both agreed we were bad at communicating and we’re still friends
