Communication can get tough, especially when one is not so motivated by that "new relationship smell", lol. I think that if a troubled relationship is dumped for a new relationship, there is a strong chance of the same troubles popping up in the new one (of course there are exceptions to this).
What makes couples grow distant?
- Taking the other for granted
- Self-absorption on either part
- A lack of active listening
- Growing weary of fighting to be understood
- Defensiveness interferring in the communication process
- Assuming you already know what the other is thinking, what motivates them
- Lack of tenderness
- Lack of fun
- Lack of initiative
- Lack of sex
yeah.
I think it boils down to lack of motivation, and one person trying their damnedest does not a good relationship make.
The End.
