[Serious] What made you realize you had fallen out of love?

He didn't do anything, i was basically his maid. And then even sex became a chore. We had a 2 year old. I met an amazing guy that showed me how i deserved to be treated and made me realise i don't need to be with somebody that takes me for granted. I left him and was seeing this guy but still had to see my childs dad for drop off and pick up. We would hang out every now and then with our child because he thought there was a chance of us getting back together. He looked through my phone saw messages from this other guy and said i was cheating. I ended up breaking it off with the other guy because he kept threatening awful things like taking my child from me and killing the guy. Me and my childs father are back together and i went through so much punishment of "cheating" for years, every now and then i still do even several years later. Because i don't want to lose my child and just thought that hassles of him making co parenting hard on me would be harder than faking my feelings. I still to this day regret my dumb ass decision to get back with my childs father and endure the punishment and emotional abuse of "cheating" on him to this day and i am still his maid and he still takes me for granted. I miss the other guy most days, we had a really amazing connection and had so much in common and hate the decision i made but now i feel i am well and truly stuck.
