Is it normal to exhaust relationships until there is nothing left?

56% Normal
10 Comments

It seems like when I get into a relationship my partner and I become inseparable. We always hang out with each other, and put other things aside. And when we are not together we are always talking to each other via texting or skype or whatever other forms of communication. It is really great and I derive a lot of pleasure out of it, but it seems like after a while I just exhaust every bit of happiness I can get out of the relationship. We run out of things to talk about and everything becomes more dull.

Am I the only one that does this? Is it that I am exhausting the relationship in too short a time? Am I just realizing all the flaws that my partner has over time? Am I just getting bored? Discuss.

    This is normal compatibility. Keep cycling through relationships till you find a person that you never run out of things to talk about. that person is out there.

    Hmm, well I personally think everyones like that to an extent. See, when you start a relationship, it's exciting and new, and it gradually declines to a spot where it's nice, but not as exciting as it used to be. Everyone gets to this point, wheather people want to beleive it or not. I don't think theres anything wrong with that though, I personally find it as a comfort zone, where you now know everything about that person, and if you don't want to break up with them, then it works. This usually happens over a couple years though. Alot of people enjoy the thrill of a new relationship so they ditch the moment it gets slightly boring. I wouldn't think to much into it

    So long as you do enough things together, you should never run out of things to talk about. As an example, instead of going on predictable dates to a restaurant or something, go and do something interesting and original together that you've both always wanted to do. That should give you more than enough to talk about for a while.

    That happens to me if I spend too much time with my friends. It gets boring. My brother and his girlfriend were inseprable for 2 years. But they spent every waking hour together. His feelings for her are wearing off. I think you need to do some other things. Find a hobby or hang out with some friends then the time you have with him will be more special.

    All things in moderation I suppose.

    Stay away from each other for awhile. I can't stand being with someone for more than a couple of months at a stretch.

    I never really run out of things to talk about and neither does she. Be yourself around the person, speak your mind.

    Totally normal and good you don't waste up to 3years.

    A lot of people don't realise this and move in together far too quickly.

    I don't know how you run out of things to talk about...I guess you just don't pick the right people to have a long lasting relationship. You also want to maintain communications with friends even while in a relationship so you're not talking through any means 24/7.
