I’m not a relationship expert, but let me state this. Every relationship has what is referred to as the honeymoon phase. This phase is characterized by heightened emotions, excitement, enthusiasm. This is the phase where loving comes easy. https://twitter.com/blvck_witch/status/1330970478199009280

You call everyday, you laugh at each other’s stupid jokes, you complete each other’s sentences, you see no wrong in the other person, everything is perfect. As commonly described, “you feel butterflies in your stomach”

These signs are the same for most people in this phase.

The only difference is the duration. Some honeymoon phases last as long as a year or two depending on so many factors.

As beautiful as this phase is, all good things must come to an end.

The honeymoon phase will then give way to the conscious love phase.

This is where the butterflies die, the excitement dwindles, we are now getting tired of the calls, the daily check up. This is the test phase. The part where you actually have to consciously fall in love.

It’s no longer about how he laughs, as a matter of fact, his laugh...

...sometimes upset you.

This is the phase where we are expected to remember why started the relationship in the first place. What is the purpose of this relationship. Marriage? Power? Connection? Vibes?

The reasons will determine if going on is worth it.

Some people don’t have strong enough reasons.
