Infatuation Rules

Relationships that hit the 3-year mark so many times don't last much further because they forget to communicate, and they don't put forth the effort to do so. The three-year mark is when you already know a lot about each other, and you're not quite sure how to level up from there. That's where the conflict arises.

Read More »There is nothing sexy about having a huge flabby belly hanging out over you during sex. You two should want to lift each other up, and be healthy for each other. If you’ve let yourself go, or maybe if they let themselves go, it’s probably one of the major reasons you found yourselves letting each other go. #4 Infidelity. This one should be a given, and I apologize in advance if this happened to you. You shouldn’t have to spend three years with someone only to find out they were unfaithful. Three years is a long time to spend with just one person. But there are people out there who feel like they want to try other flavors after being stuck with one flavor for years. It often comes hand in hand with boredom, but sometimes people cheat simply because they can. The complacency of being with someone for three years may give cheaters the confidence to assume that despite what they did, the three years they’ve spent with their partner will account for more than this one act of infidelity, and their partner will take them back. However, this isn’t always the case. #5 Compatibility. Opposites do attract, and sometimes they don’t. But you don’t have to be opposites to attract, and sometimes you might think you’re a perfect match with someone, only to spend years of your life together to find out you wanted different things in life all along. If you hit the three-year mark of dating, then you usually start talking about marriage, kids, and the whole growing old together thing. If you start having these conversations only to find out that you want two kids and he wants four, or you want to live in the city and he wants to live in the suburbs, or you want to go back to school and get another degree, but he always thought you would be a stay-at-home mom, then the chances of you two ending up together and having a happy relationship are slim. It’s important to talk about these things and what you truly want out of life. It might hurt if you end up breaking up, but it will be much easier than getting a divorce a few more years down the road.

It might be hard to understand a couple with different religious beliefs that knowingly start dating each other, and then they break up after several years, because of their religious beliefs. But it happens. We sometimes don’t want to believe what is actually standing right in front of us. We think we can change people, maybe not at first, but eventually. So that’s what some people do, especially when it comes to relationships. Some people will be with someone they want to change, but they only realize that they can’t after three years. #7 Work/life balance. Being motivated and career-driven is great. It’s wonderful when you have such a passion for something, and want to be the best at what you do. Think back to when you first began your relationship and how passionate you were about your man. But as you continue on in your relationship, and get comfortable, the passion starts to take a backseat to make room for other priorities.

Your partner will love you, even if you only go on date night twice a month. Eventually, without either of you really noticing, you’ll see that the passion that once fueled your relationship is now fizzling out. #8 Communication. By the third year, you already know most of each other’s communication quirks. You know what your guy’s grunts mean or you know what your girlfriend’s “Hmmm” texts mean. By this time, you may sometimes think you already know your partner so well, that you don’t feel the need to listen anymore. This is a big mistake. When you no longer feel the need to talk to each other or express how you feel, you’re just pushing each other away. One day, you both might realize that you don’t know each other as well as you thought you did. And this gap only gets bigger until it turns into a complete breakup. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been together, if you want your relationship to last, then whenever you get home from work in the evening, you should set aside a couple of minutes to talk about each other’s day, no matter how mundane it is. Relationships that hit the 3-year mark so many times don’t last much further because they forget to communicate, and they don’t put forth the effort to do so. The three-year mark is when you already know a lot about each other, and you’re not quite sure how to level up from there. That’s where the conflict arises. So if you find yourself headed towards the three-year mark, look out for these signs and remedy them before it’s too late!
