I just watched this short film in youtube talking about stages in a relationship. Basically, it shows 7 stages a relationship might go thru:
1. Meeting
-the time you had a first glance on her/him
2. The chase
-a phase where you can't think of other people but him/her
3. honeymoon
-you are his/her center of attention
4. Comfortable
-being true to your self. the catch is either this leads you to continue growing with each other or could take each other for granted.
5. tolerance
-doesn't find her/his partner special at all
6. downhill
- both of you have no time to work things out
7. breaking up
- starting a new path and living life separately and becoming strangers again.
"to each his own"
I am having difficulty in finding love among the stages. Does love die when you are both comfortable with each other or should i say love is in danger during Comfortable stage? or love dies when someone stopped trying...
I get emotional when i see couples who made it untill their end of dying day. For my friends, I always wish them to find love after a breakup and to enjoy love.
Factors of a successful relationship are in parallel with factors of unsuccessful relationship. They said communication and respect are two important things, but sometimes others can't help but to find themselves trap into these stages therefore looking for a new relationship.
Or is it destiny?
