I think many times we become bored with our partners or the relationship itself. But it is not that we dont love them or they lack ambition, or drive neither of you do but at some stage we move from being comfortable with each other to become complacent. And this is where everything starts to deteriorate if its not addressed and work on consistently.

Has any of you experience this or currently experiencing this? What has been some the steps you made that has shown results.

Or are you one the extremes ..but in certain cases this is true - you outgrow the relationship and you dont believe it can evolve to what you currently need out of a relationship at this stage.

Ugh. I’ve dealt with the extremes. The only people I was together long enough to experience this with (as an adult) was when I was married. Neither wanted to take the necessary steps to try to fix things. Or rather, the latter did, but only once it was beyond too late.

The relationship I’m in now feels much healthier. Like we’ll be able to grow together. Like attempts at communication are met, instead of falling on deaf ears. Fingers crossed, eh.
