16. The First Year of a Romantic Relationship is the Hardest
If you can survive the first year of a healthy, caring relationship, then the rest should be a walk in the park. Okay, perhaps it won’t be that easy, but it’ll be a breeze compared to that first insane year. The reason why it’s challenging is because the first year is when you discover.
You discover each other’s imperfections, what you like and dislike about one another, and so on. It’s in the time of discovery when most people realize and conclude whether they are meant to be with someone or not. After this period, you can start working on building the relationship.
17. Passionate Love Lasts About 2 to 3 Years
Don’t believe those cheesy romance movies making you think that your first relationship will be passionate and intensely romantic until the end of time. While first love may feel like a fairytale, reality will start to set in eventually. This is when that emphatic, passionate spark starts to dwindle.
It’s why most first relationships do not last longer than two years and a few months. This may be even shorter for most younger couples as they chase romance rather than a long-term relationship.
