"Is your partner imaginary"

Oof. Got me. Damn.

I have been with the same girl for 10 years and we have visited and revisited each stage along the way. We are so happy together and it’s been a very amazing relationship. ☺️

I think I'm at stage 6!! I've been in a very serious long term relationship for the past few years. We've had our ups and downs, but I'm glad my partner stuck with me through it all. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better partner...



Than myself 💕💕😂.

*Relationships start with being in love. Later, this feeling reduces and a relationship exists out of trust, friendship and working together.*
A relationship never works without working on it. Either you give it enough attention or you quit it now.

Love the word about commitment stage, "at this stage, you recognize you don't need her, but rather you choose to be with her"

Stage 2:: the wake up call.. I hope we are able to go thru all stages! I really love him and feel like this relationship is right for the both of us ;) wish me luck!!

"Which stage of the relationship are you on?"
I'm still looking for someone to co-op with

[curlyg]

Me and my bf are definitely in the wake up call phase. It feels almost like a bubble burst. We have small little disagreements/arguments every week but we usually sort it out with communication and by accepting where we might have been wrong.

Omg she did the euphoria by jungkook 😂

I'd say stage 5. I used to run from love and fear it. I'm very introverted and dislike most people due to bad past experiences, but then I met the most amazing human being of my life who was patient and kind and empathetic. We went through some deeply hard times and made it out the other side with time and understanding and communication. We still have some hard times, but there's nothing I am more grateful for than our strong bond and commitment. It changed my life. I wish that for everyone.

At commitment right now its so peaceful and respectful but it doesn't stop us missing each other 24/7

I just got in a relationship this week man.

Update: Nevermind. We broke up yesterday. He said he doesn’t feel right being in a relationship. It hurts and unfair cause we had a really great friendship. I know I deserve so much better.

Together 12 years. We are at the stability stage. You cannot change someone else. You love them for who they are (and respect their boundaries) or you walk. You’re not going to get everything you want in a relationship. In a healthy relationship you will get what you NEED emotionally and physically but it won’t always be all that exciting. You have to learn to appreciate the little things and the little moments. We have a beautiful family life. But it doesn’t look how I imagined it. I hate how much time I wasted trying to change her. She never did change and never will. In the end I feel that I had to be the one to change but again you can’t keep score. I may have had to change more in certain respects but maybe she works harder in other areas. At this point I just appreciate our beautiful family. I recognize I choose to be with her and love her despite what I see as her “flaws”. (Whether something is a flaw or an attribute is entirely a matter of perspective anyway. Some things that are flaws in certain instances are positive attributes at other times.)

Is your partner imaginary? Wow. I felt personally attacked.

How does that apply to long distance relationships? I'd like to see more long distance relationship videos in the future please
