The honeymoon phase is something practically every couple tends to go through. Whether you’re partners that came from a dating app, or best friends turned into lovers, you end up putting on the horse blinders without even thinking twice. It’s a cherished moment when you experience this, because you’re never truly going to get it again with that one person. Sure, you can experience it multiple times and truly feel ‘puppy love’ with numerous partners throughout your life. But if you truly love somebody, it really does mean you need to break past this honeymoon period. And that isn’t easy.
Things will end up becoming messy, and not in a good way. Things that you used to find adorable quirks of your partner are now suddenly things that irritate you and give you that little twitch. You’ll find yourself annoyed at their behaviours and speech sometimes even, and maybe the attractiveness to elements of all this (including physical traits) starts to fade. It’s not unique for everyone, and I certainly wouldn’t be selecting “all of the above” on the quiz answer if you handed me this multi-choice question on the quiz.
