STAGES ALL
RELATIONSHIPS MUST PASS THROUGH THOUGHT TIMES
It doesn’t matter how long your
relationship has lasted or is presently, because all relationships will fit direct or indirectly
in any of relationship stages described
below.
1 The first stage is the infatuation stage. Every relationship begins
with the first stage. It offen starts with an intense attraction and an
uncontrollable urge to be with each other. Both of you may be intensely
s..xually attracted to each other, or both of you may just love the cuddles and
each other’s company. In this stage, both of you overlook any flaws of each
other and only focus on the good sides.
2. The second stage is the understanding stage. In this stage, both of
you start getting to know each other better. You have long conversations with
your partner that stretches late into the night, and everything about your
partner interests and fascinates you. You talk about each other’s families,
exes, likes and dislikes and other innocent secrets, and life seems so
beautiful and romantic.
3. The third stage is the disturbances stage: it is at this stage that must youths
experience break-up, this stage usually forces its way into a happy romance
after a few months of courtship. Do you
remember the first fight or angry disagreement you and your partner had? For
the first time ever in the relationship, both of you confront each other over a
conflict, even though it’s sorted out quickly.
4. The fouth stage is the opinion maker stage : Here the both of you
create opinions about each other. As the months pass by, both of you know what
to expect from each other, and you make an assumption about your partner’s
commitment towards the relationship. Here the opinions and expectations about
your partner differ now and then in real life, it can either leave you ecstatic
or depressed. You don’t expect your man to buy you flowers, but he does. You
feel ecstatic. At the same time, you expect him to pick you up from the airport
on time. But he arrives an hour later because he forgot all about picking you
up. It depresses you.
5. The firth stage is the moulding stage. Here You all
have your own expectations from an ideal partner. Both of you try hard
to mould each other to fit your own wants in a perfect partner. This stage is a
lot about give and take, and both partners constantly try to subtly convince
each other to change their behavior towards the relationship. This is a power
struggle, and one that can end the relationship if both partners are
domineering or implusive.
6. The sixth stage is the happy stage: If you relationship successfully
pass through the moulding stage, both of you may have changed equally for each
other and understood each other’s expectations. In this stage, the relationship
cruises along perfectly and both of you may be blissfully happy with each
other. Almost always, this is the stage when both of you feel like a perfect
match. You may even decide to get engaged or get married. This happy stage is
also the stage of attachment when both of you truly feel connected to each
other and love each other intensely.
7. The seventh stage of the doubting stage: at this stage, after
several years both of you have been in a relationship with each other. In this
stage, you start comparing your relationship with other couples and other
relationships. And somewhere along the
way, doubts start to creep in. The intensity of the doubts depend on how happy
both of you are in the relationship. You start to think of your past
relationships, your exes, and other prospective partners. You tie your
happiness in life with your relationship. If you’re unhappy, you blame it on
the relationship. Would your relationship survive this stage? It definitely
could, as long as your relationship isn’t monotonous and repetitive.
8. The eighth stage is the s..xual exploration stage. At this stage when
your s..x life starts to play a pivotal
role. Both your s..x drives may change or one of you may get disinterested in
s..x. In this stage, you either give up on passionate s..x or constantly look
for ways to make s..x more exciting. If
s..xual interests start differing here, one of you may end up having an affair.
But on the other hand, if you find creative ways to make s..x more exciting, your relationship could get
better and bring both of you a lot closer.
9. The ninth stage is the complete trust. This is the happiest stage when both of you
love each other and trust each other completely. But at the same time, the
unbreakable trust in each other could also turn into taking each other for
granted. In this stage, both of you know the direction of the relationship and
both of you are completely happy with each other and find it easy to predict
each other’s behavior and decisions. But with stability in love comes the urge
to take each other for granted. As pleasant as this final stage of love may be,
it’s still no excuse to take each other lightly or stop appreciating each
other, because love is an intense emotion that can be rekindled by anyone else
at any time if you fail to express your romance to your lover.
If you are in a relationship for
a while and you may have experienced all or most of these stages. And if you
are still in a young relationship, don’t let the dark side of these
relationship stages scare you.

present stage…..
