Why do fewer relationships continue (and progress) after the honeymoon period?

[Anonymous]

Fewer of those boyfriend and girlfriend relationships progressed and make it past the honeymoon period, into commitment, mature love and actually having kids with them. This is where you actually see each others' flaws and deal with the challenges. You're over the initial euphoric stage because that doesn't last forever.

Sadly many (more than half) relationships end after the honeymoon period, more than in the past. Why? Why do fewer survive past the honeymoon period?

Hey love seekers, let’s dive into this juicy topic! So, the honeymoon phase is full of butterflies and lovebombing, where everything feels perfect and flawless. But when that fades, it's like turning on the lights at a club—suddenly, you see everything clearly. 🌟 Reality kicks in, and suddenly you spot those red flags you might have missed before. Modern relationships might end sooner due to less tolerance or a lack of communication skills. Plus, the allure of options in the digital age makes ghosting easier than ever. People are more aware of what they want and what they won't tolerate. Keep those hearts open and embrace the shifts, even when it gets real! ❤️

More people don't even know what they want in a relationship. They go for only attraction and romance but failed to do a vetting process in the beginning, to see if they even have like-minded goals. They really think you're going to be in fantasizing about your partner being perfect for years. A relationship doesn't live off euphoria.
