Ladies, have you ever fallen out of love in a relationship? How did you deal with it? Did it work out in the end?

I'm starting to think I've fallen out of love with my current SO. He's super clingy, texts me too much, takes up 100% of my free time on the weekends because we're slightly long distance, tells me he misses me at least 5 times everyday, etc. At first I was flattered and I enjoyed it, but 8 months later I find myself getting more and more annoyed every time I see "You're my favorite lady" or "I love you lots" texts pop up on my phone several times a day (am I crazy for being annoyed at that?). I also get annoyed when, after a full day of texting back and forth, my SO asks to call me so we can talk even more. The worst part is we're literally talking about nothing.

Of course I've told him we don't need to text every minute of the day, he says he understands but nothing changes. Even if I purposely wait an hour to reply he will answer almost right away every time. If I don't answer at all I get more texts from him.

I have to commit all of my time on the weekend for him because he lives 40 minutes away in the suburbs while I live in a big city. This would be fine but then I can never enjoy girl time with friends without him and I basically can't do anything I want to do on my own because he's always there.

I believe the reasons I listed above are why I've lost the love I had for him. Unfortunately, my SO is the sweetest, nicest guy I ever met; he's loyal, trustworthy, and a gentleman. This is why I'm having such a hard time coming to terms with this and why I feel this way. I feel like an asshole for being so annoyed with a guy who does nothing but show his love for me.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet; a part of me knows I should probably end it, but another part is scared. Personally I feel a relationship just can't work anymore if there's no love left to give :(
