The First Few Months, the First Year, and Beyond
Relationships are split into different periods of time. I like to think of these periods, as far as I have experienced them, as going in a few general stages. First there is the period of time before the relationship, where you are first meeting the person and getting to know them. Then there is the very beginning day, week, or even month, where there is a thrill of excitement for getting to know the person, and then there are some common shifting phases. These phases can occur at 1-3 months into the relationship, 6 months in, a year in, 2 years in, and possibly many other points in time. And interestingly, as a relationship progresses there seem to be less and less “major” thrill points the longer a couple is together.
So if a couple is together for a few weeks, there is often a massive amount of occurrences just within that short period of time that will happen that will determine whether or not that couple was compatible. After a period of a few months, there is usually some stages that occur around this time that serve as test beds to the entire relationship. By the end of that period of time, there will have been room for some sort of emotional low or crisis to happen in either one of the couples’ lives and this is used as some sort of “test” to determine the inner feelings of the other person, usually it is the girl who does this to the guy, and it is even unintentional. At 6 months, the issue of sex often enters the relationship, and as we’ve all heard, “sex can complicate things.” At the passing of the very first, first year anniversary, you have the issue of the anniversary itself, as well as a common ‘settling in’ of both the mood and tone in the relationship, as well as thoughts of commitment, or even marriage.
