10 Stages Of Relationship
disturbance stage
after some time of being together with each other, when the ‘love chemicals’ wear off, couples usually return to their normal selves with normal moods and $3x drive. everything starts getting back to normal, and instead of focusing exclusively on each other, couples become more involved with their daily duties and work.
those who are not aware of this normal stage of love in a relationship might think they have fallen out of love. sometimes they might even get seriousely upset by their partner’s lack of attention on them. small bickering and fights are a normal part of this stage of love. but, sometimes confrontation is healthy as it helps you understand things better.
when you learn to confront and resolve issues and conflicts, it helps your relationship mature. if you are in this stage, you might wonder why your $3x drive does not match your partners, or why theirs lessened, or why you annoy or anger your partner more now. you might make assumptions and opinion about your partner, and your expectations from each other tend to increase.
in this stage, it is common to feel as if someone or something or even life itself has cheated you or robbed you of something precious, almost like a stage of grieving the loss of something innocent and wonderful. there is a desire to be close again but confusion as how to create that. it is the first time that fears of intimacy begin to arise. suddenly the couple must learn how to deal with very real differences, how to deal with conflict, and how to integrate being an independent person as well as someone in an intimate relationship.
when these assumptions and opinions differ in real life, it might leave you feeling ecstatic or depressed. what you need to do is hold on! the best is yet to come – even if you see a drop in your love relationship. keep making the efforts and hope for the best.
confrontation is the keyword that best defines this phase, because among all the stages of love relationship, this phase is really the testing period for a couple.
