Eventually, most relationships become a routine. Especially after you’ve been in the relationship for so long. You know everything about one another, and many times, the excitement of it all dies out.
Everything in the relationships becomes so repetitive. The routined conversations, where you discuss the same things daily, the shows you watch, the date nights, the same good morning, and goodnight texts. It’s all the same. They’re boring. You’re stuck doing the same things with your significant other constantly, every day, every season. You’re bored. The honeymoon phase where both partners are completely head over heels, getting to know one another and exploring things together, doesn’t last forever. Unfortunately, in most cases it often dies out much sooner than you’d expect.
And it’s a weird feeling because you love them, but it’s like there’s no excitement, You’re young and have so much left to live but now you’ve lived out the best parts of your love life. It’s like, what next? Comfort is the main reason for these routined relationships. Once there is comfort in a relationship, many times you or your significant other may feel as if there was no reason to try to make things exciting because in reality, what’s the point? I already have them.
Of course, it shouldn’t be like this, but in many cases it is! And there’s really not much you can do once your relationship has passed it’s peak. And it’s sweet yes, to feel at home with someone, but is it worth it? It could never be.
Once a relationship becomes this way, it only goes downhill from there. There’s many things that you wish you could do with friends but they may not be okay with your significant other. And you’re young and you hold yourself back because you don’t want to break this bond, but it feels like you’ve become a robot caged in a constant cycle of the SAME things.
Especially at college level, I don’t think it should ever be okay for young individuals to become trapped in a relationship that prevents them from enjoying youth, which is suppose to be “the best years of your life”.
Never get stuck in the routines that are often unavoidable in many relationships. You already have a routined work or school schedule, why would you get involved in a relationship that will make the rest of your life a routine as well?
It’s great to feel at home with someone, but never let the comfort keep you there. You can find comfort with family…adding a plus one is useless, and adds to the boredom. Many times this comfort prevents people from finding real happiness. Every day feels the same, and obviously, there’s nothing amusing about that. So prevent it, stay away from relationships that will make you feel caged. It’s not what life is about. I’ve seen it in my friends, I’ve seen it in myself. This repetition. There’s so much for the world to offer, and yet many people find themselves stuck.
Go out and live life differently everyday. The unexpected in life is what is remembered most. Enjoy yourself and have fun. But most importantly, avoid every routined relationship that crosses your way. `
