Oof, I keep having more thoughts on the topic. I think this one is the best one I've heard: Being in a serious relationship is less about love, and more about commitment. It's a partnership first and foremost. I think a lot of people have such short relationships because as soon as those giddy "I'm in loooooove" feelings slip away, people believe that that means the relationship needs to end. I think you can choose to continue to love someone after the initial adrenaline rush of new love, and that is by dedicating yourself to working together in life with your significant other. I think people get addicted to that adrenaline rush of new love, which is often associated with quickly reentering the dating scene after a breakup, and that's where people's worries or disgust lied here as well. They felt as though you were using your current boyfriend for a love-enduced adrenaline fix.
this 3-month rule is actually called the Popoy Rule based from a filipino love story movie entitled 'one more chance' (do i sound like advertizing? :lolbut there's no such thing as this and just like what (s)he said... :lol: i was upset, ok? :cry: i wish i have had somehow heard or read that sooner
Three months? ? It felt a lot more like a year... This is very true. In serious relationships, love is a choice. You can't really expect to love someone every minute of every day for 50 years. You'll find yourself making that choice many times I'm sure.
You guys just haven't found the right person yet. When you do, you will love them everyday. Even when you are mad, you will still love them. Like when your kids destroy a room you just cleaned up, you are mad at them, but you still love them.
^ No, that's what I'm saying. You choose to continue to love them because you have chosen to commit yourself to them. A lot of people believe that because you are mad at them, it has to cancel out the love and that's why relationships end so quickly. My entire post explains it better than that little blip.
