Overcoming the Infatuation Phase of your Relationship
Falling in Love is truly amazing. You discover a new you in the process and do things you never imagined yourself doing.
Guess what, after the initial infatuation phase, most relationships stall. It is the time when your irritations with you partner begin to show up and your own insecurities and past wounds begin to seep through the perfect facade you present to one another in the early days.
Now this is where the problems begin because irritations can turn into misunderstandings, hurt feelings, resentments and full blown arguments.
Emotional Intelligence become critical to our going forward since we often allow anger or passive-aggressive behaviors to infect our once-intimate bond. We allow negative talk to blur our vision. We allow ourselves to revert to laziness and we become complacent in the relationship.
We take for granted our spouse and become laser focused on ourselves, meeting our own needs, how we can protect our turf, nurse our wounds, listen to the hearsay and theysay, blame our partners when things turn sour and are ready to return home to our parents rather than work out our disagreements.
Here’s the problem, when we remain stuck in this post-infatuation phase, our relationship can languish in a state of discontent for years and eventually turn into a broken relationship/marriage.
Is all lost? No it is not, if you find yourself in the cycle of hurt feelings, blame anger etc. you can turn things around. It is possible for you to once again enjoy that loving, fun, sexy, intimate relationship that you once shared.
