Having ‘butterflies’ in your stomach is often seen as a classic symptom of love. When you’re in a long-term relationship, however, those ‘butterflies’ that you felt when you first met your partner might start to change. One Tumblr user, who goes by the nickname Elo, had been with her boyfriend for 5 years when she beautifully summed up how love changes and grows over time in a blog post which has now gone viral for the second time.

What do you guys think?
What's your relationship like after the years?

Fact!


The feelings when you're just getting started is for a while.

That cuddle expression was so amazing...

Chai wish i'm in that zone now

When butterflies leave so does the nunu.

This is the point where the both partner will have to put in extra effort..
If no extra effort is added, it tends to demolish...
Many questions often arise at this stage, you begin to ask yourself if it was love or lust...

Then you go back to the drawing board.

It scares the shiit outta me tho, but it's real.

Reality sets in

The "Butterflies effect" phase in a relationship is a fickle subject.... it varies(last forever for some, Fades away for others) it's the period right after the relationship starts when you’re both "Affectionately and Eternally" in love

After that phase, Usually "Sexual" for Men and Usually "Attention Received" for Women

Maturity kicks in, By maturity I mean "Common sense and Intuition"

At this phase(Maturity) two responsible "Emotionally Rational" adults head into the more comfortable phase of a relationship and start developing(evolving) together as "One"

The girl reveals her flaws(Stops wearing makeup 24/7......etc), and guy shows her that he isn't perfect (leaves his home dirty......etc)

These "Thought processes" below have Defined answers

"Why he/she wants to be with him/her?
How serious and feasible his/her plans/aspirations are?
How much effort you're willing to invest to bring your hopes to fruition?
How much violation of your expectations, you are willing to accept"


Or......One person gets bored, Usually the man and tries to lower the expectation of the other(Manipulation or Reinterpretation of statements made) or vice versa(The woman does it)

If it’s the latter then chances are....... You got into a relationship with someone a little too soon and maybe you’re now finding out that there isn’t much beyond that "initial attraction"

This happens to lots of people so it’s nothing to be ashamed off....... but your relationship is doomed to fail.
