love isn't just realising somebody is falling apart. you can also love someone who isn't at all falling apart. But IF someone is falling apart and you claim to love him, I guess you should notice something. I had this with my BF. I started to notice how he didn't care or didn't even notice I was feeling bad more often and things where getting worse and when I found this out it didn't last long untill he told me that he didn't love me anymore and broke up with me.

If you've not told them "I'm falling apart, I need your help" than you can't expect them to know, no matter how obvious you think you make it.
Tell them that, then if they don't help, THEN you can tell them that they don't actually love you. I had to have the conversation of "honey you can say it all you want but it doesn't mean anything if you won't help me keep it together when I ask you for help." It's not as hard as you'd think, and it'll normally jump-start them into action.
People settle, they don't want to realize anything is wrong so they won't notice.

Well, I guess it all depends on exactly HOW the teller is falling apart. I know my ex-bf was completely destroying me by his ignorance to the fact that his ignorance and his lack of apology was destroying me on the inside in a way that I never thought I would be destroyed. I guess I can see their view, and not entirely disagree.

I also disagree. It seems like you don't respect or care for the person you assume should know everything about you. Love doesn't work that way. If it's a one way street, a dead end is the only ending.
If you care enough for that person to stay, but not enough to be honest with them, then they deserve better. I hope you find what makes you [truly] happy.

I disagree with your assessment of love, unless you mean that is the way that they see love, but I know how you feel. Heck, sometimes, even after you say it, they don't hear it. Telling them, even if it hurts them, means that you have said what you need to and what they do is, even more than it was before, not your responsibility

it will be okay but you have to remember to be strong. if you do't decide you could make a big mistake.
