Relationship Truths

Every relationship begins with one individual being sexually attracted to the other. Eventually someone feels strongly enough about the other that they feel the urge to court them and does it. That's the easy part. Now what comes next? Dating is what and also the process of getting to know more of each other. This period lasts a variable amount of time despite usually going on for about 2 weeks nowadays. Eventually the result is the relationship becoming official and serious. Now problem arises when going further beyond this point ceases to be fun. The honeymoon phase is over. Here is what probably changed.

1. You Are Now More Comfortable With Each Other. At this point you are now free around your partner and this might be a problem if not discussed. It is now more likely that you begin crossing each other's personal boundaries. If you fail to mature at this point in the relationship and talk to your partner about what you expect from one another then the future is not guaranteed for this relationship. You survive this stage and you are capable of handling anything together.
2. Changes In Your Partner. Obviously you are not exactly yourself when you go on a date. You dress up, act more intelligent than you are, some even walk differently because you feel the need to impress the other. Now the honeymoon phase is over and you know quite a lot about each other. The things you have to talk about are not always very fun and you do not talk too much. No one is trying to impress the other anymore. At this particular point in time you see your partner's true character and that is when know whether he truly is the one you love or not. You either move to the stage of loving each other or it falls apart. (This doesn't apply to those who believe in love at first sight).
3. Willingness To Change Some Aspects Of Your Life For Your Partner. This has to happen. You are going to have to let go of some things or some people to accommodate your partner. Some things will be doable and some will not be. If something is too much to do for your partner then it's time to assess your situation. If you cant settle for what your partner has to offer then that is how you end up unhappy and probably leaving the relationship.

These are some of the the things deciding your relationship length beyond dating. I would not say these rules are rigid. Some of it may work for others and not others. Take it and use it as flexibly as possible.
