love cycle

There are times when you feel like you're totally in love with someone, and that you want to give your all to that person you feel something special for.


Yet you fail to consider what happens when your love for that person runs out. Let's say that I'm interested in a guy. What happens when my interest runs out? So the obvious question that would be asked when that happens is.


"Did I couple with the right person?"


Commonly asked question but usually kept to self or shared with friends. Right? Which idiot would ask his/her partner that >.< Coming back to my point.


Every relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your partner. You anticipated their call, to hear their voice, wanted their touch and blind to all their unconventional behaviors or habits. In other words you were willing to ignore their idiosyncrasies.


Falling in love wasn't difficult, was it? It was a completely natural, spontaneous and passive experience. You didn't have to DO anything, it just happened. That's why it is called FALLING in love. It implies that you were just standing there, doing nothing, and something came along and it happened.


After a while, the euphoria you two had together fades. It's a natural cycle of every relationship. Slowly, but surely, phone calls grow less, touch is not always welcomed (if it even happens) and your partner's idiosyncrasies become an annoyance, instead of being cute. So... this is when people start cheating on their partners.


Not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. But it's only temporary. You'd end up in the same situation, in due time. It's a sick cycle.


So...


I think the key to succeeding in a relationship is not finding the right person. It's learning to love the person you've found.
