Why is that as time goes by, the little things that made a difference in the early relationships fall by the wayside, most of the time?
When you make a month of dating, it is party, wonderful, one month after you make sure you have found the great love of his life. Do you exchange gifts, go out to celebrate, eat together, or in some cases, make love in public demonstrations as a serenade, a sound truck (I think it's ridiculous by the way), or a fine speech with all its dramas due exaggerations, mela-truths and melas.
I once wrote a letter of 33 sheets (but had already written one of 23 at the time the letter of 33 was more an attempt to overcome the first, who was born into a relationship that had nothing to work, but I did not see this, then when I started this new one, wanted to do everything that could be better, even in the letter. Thank God, today I do not do these letters absurdly large, more or lose my time.) when I made one month of dating. It took one week to write poems, vows of love, memories of when it started, future plans, drawings, and if you can believe it, an entire sheet front and back of the qualities that only my boyfriend at the time. But the truth is he had more defects than qualities. If I had looked upon it before then would not have suffered for over a year ... But back to the subject, the letter took cover and everything. I've done with the utmost dedication and enthusiasm, and handed afraid that he found a total exaggeration, or to stay too lazy to read. But everything worked out, he loved it, loved it, read it all in twenty minutes and I loved even more to see the smile on his face and the glint of happiness in their eyes. But in less than a month later, things were getting weird between us, there were more with the bright look of happiness in the beginning so recent. We did not fight, he simply changed from one moment to another, without apparent reason. And the silence is often worse than a scream. And I was afraid to ask what was happening, because deep down I knew that if he asked me finish. Still, I faced my fear praying to be wrong, I went and asked. But I was not wrong. He broke up with me.
What I mean by this is my experience that in a minute everything tarnishes the beginning, and we do not perceive, think that it is always a phase. Well, it is often in fact, but often is not really. But why does this happen? All though nothing is ever quite the same, but because we can’t keep what is good? Or at least improve what was already good, or replace what was good for something better, if it fails to maintain good as before. But why not do it?
You do six months of dating, "Okay, cool." You a year ago: "Great, our first year together." You do four years of dating, "Yes, already have much time, it makes more sense to be dating this eternity, let's get married." You do one year of marriage, it party, you make two, and you're asking for a divorce, because he discovered that this was not what you really wanted or because they fell into the sameness of the relationship. The worst is when you discover that you have "irreconcilable differences". Where were these differences when you met and decided to marry his girlfriend and then? It is possible that two people be so completely opposite when before they were soul mates. I can’t understand this, perhaps because I'm too young, you know, just can’t understand.
But this sameness about the relationship, is anyway, unfortunately everyone has routine. What makes the difference is what you try to do to try a little different when you have the opportunity.
Really cool is when a couple married 50 years ago and still has the courage to celebrate, to party, make an effort to dance (even if you no longer have the same peak as before) and reaffirm their vows. Really cool is when one looks into another's eyes and sees that someone he knew at first, but realize the improvements that have occurred over time. Really cool is when a couple can get around the boredom of sameness, and it can feel as good as something you want is to have over again, again and again.Always. Legal is to be happy with small things, remembering that if you were happy at first, because they could not do now? As you matured and your tastes became more refined? Oh, please.
If you can’t save the first, at least invent ever new beginnings.Well just so you get to be happy forever, with many stories within one.
But who am I to give lecture about relationships? I am a layman, I am only 17. But so what? A lot of people 40 who do not know love.
