Why do relationships start off great then go downhill?

We were all guilty of putting less time to that special person and more into friends eventually. Once we get the guy or girl we stop doing all the good stuff or we don’t do it as often. You stop or spend less quality time together. We stop communicating. We stop trying to do our best.  I know there are plenty of other things that would sometimes look more important or interesting; but instead of making excuses we should make things happen. When things bother us you don’t usually push through and talk it out with them. We let time and space come between us until things are awkward with each other and then we just let the idea go. Usually we want things done our way and we don’t care how he or she feels about it. And I beg whoever to differ  (not only speaking for myself..) 

Do I have the cure? No. Would me and a handful of good people left want the ingredients to that? I would kill for one.

But you can try talking to him or her no matter how difficult it is.  There is no such thing as a perfect time but there is an ideal time to just talk, fuck all the arguing, that moment is SOLELY for talking. A relationship becomes a matter of compromise, things don’t have to be your way all the time. How would you want someone to talk to you or treat you?  Yes common courtesy can be used in relationships. If for a second you think about the way you treat him or her and you act on the way you want to be treated, there’s no need for bickering, you win. Anything worth having is worth working for.

I guess these are just things I want to happen..I know this sounds like something I need to post in the relationship forum but I have nowhere else to write all this, lol so bare with my talk, I am off to eating pasta that is well overdone by now.
