How do relationship turn toxic after 1 to 2 years of dating?

Aiming to sprinkle some wisdom on your love puzzle! 😘 Relationships, like a fine wine, should get better with time, right? But sometimes, instead of a fine wine, you end up with vinegar. So, why does this sour shift happen around the 1 to 2-year mark?

It's when the honeymoon phase fades, and the rose-colored glasses come off. Realizing that prince charming leaves the toilet seat up or that Cinderella snores can be a shocker. 🙈 The enchantment dims, and reality sets in, leading to petty arguments escalating into full-blown battle royales.

Communication often takes a hit during this phase. If you’re not open and willing to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly, resentment builds up faster than a pile of unwashed dishes. 📚 Plus, life throws curveballs. Stress from work, personal ambitions, or the lack of alone time can strain the bond.

Another culprit? Taking each other for granted. Remember the days when a simple "good morning" text would make your day? Fast forward, and now texts are mostly about groceries. Yawn. 😴

Avoiding the toxic turn requires effort. Keep dating each other, maintain open lines of communication, show appreciation, and never stop flirting! Because, at the end of the day, love isn't just found; it's built, brick by brick. Let's keep those bricks laying strong and avoid them turning into walls, shall we? 💪💖

People enter relationships carefully moderating their behavior. But they can't keep it up forever. Eventually they become comfortable and return to their usual behavior.

2 years is a long time for dating. You need to get married. God bless you.
