In a relationship we expect different things from our partner depending on the person we are. At first every relationship start really sweet, they treat you really sweet,nice,caring and as time passes by our partner or even us start taking out our nails and the relationship changes. Do you think that every relationship should stay the same as when you first start going out? or you believe that it should a relationship should change as time passes by?

I believe they all do and should change. I call it the 3 month rule. You should never decide if you are in love with someone until you have been with them for 3 months, because that is about the time where people start to really show who they are. We are all on our best behavior in the beginning of a relationship. It is not until we begin to get comfortable with someone that we start to let go a little bit and start to become our selves again. If you get to that stage where you are both being your selves and you are both comfortable with your self around that person and that person is comfortable with you then it is likely real love.

i totally agreed with you, at the beginning every relationship is very beautiful full of love and hardly any arguments but as time passes by your gonna see hes/hers true colors and get to know them who they really are. Also i think it's because some just lose interest because they been with that person for a long time but that's not real love. Real Love never fails.

If the relationship will change for the better, then change is good, but if you are going to change for bad, then its better to stay as it is.

As your relationship matures, we should expect changes to happen. But we cannot generalize everything that it will all turn out to be bad. There are those relationships which still feels like the first time and the sweetness is still there. Therefore, changes occurs as time passes.

I think you are telling that not all the sweetness of the relationship or a partner or a couple last forever. I think all relationship really change when the time passes by because when we are always with the same person everyday we will know everything about them and if we know everything about them we will lost our interest to the. We will feel that we want something different but even we lost our interest end feel bored with them the love are still there.

I think it's important that a relationship should change as time passes by. Change is growth. If you want your relationship to truly be healthy, it has to change over time. Without change, there is no growth, and with no growth, a relationship isn't truly healthy. However, I do think that you should always treat the other person your in a relationship with really sweetly and nicely and showing lots of care. Losing these aspects is still a form of growth, but it's a negative change, and thus causes growth of negative aspects in the relationship. Relationships should change over time, but they should always change for the better. That is healthy growth of a relationship.

I agree with you my friend, relationships should change and it's almost forced to change since time passes by and you're with that person you get to know them better so obviously the relationship has to change. But if it's change that it's negative and makes that relationship hell then it should be totally eliminated. In a guy i don't expect them to be nice and sweet all the time, there going to be times when the person won't want to be sweet but of course it shouldn't be a daily thing.

When someone is so sweet, you don't expect that they will be like that all the time because even the sweetest chocolates expire. Don't be afraid of FAILURE. "Failure is an event not a person." In life, you must find someone that knows all your flaws, differences and mistakes, and yet still loves everything about you.

Hi! You are very right in saying that in the beginning of relationship everything looks very rosy and sweet, however with the passage of time things start looking mundane and routine. Change is the spice of life and we need to bring in some positive changes in a relationship to keep it alive and keep it going. Some new and innovative ideas needed to be infused to ignite the spark in a relationship. Good post.

Hi there Hazelme! Well, ya, you're right, whenever a relationship starts, it's really sweet, both partners treat each other well, they care so much about each other, but as time passes by you actually see the differences between you. And because of those differences you and your partner start to get entangled with misunderstandings and sometimes you even fight or argue. But I think it's fine, because you get to know the person more. And the more you get to know them, the more you'll understand them and predict what your actions and reactions might cause. Have a nice day!

Change is a fact of life, Whether we want it or not it must occur. Of course each one would have loved to have a constantly loving relationship but by nature things must change.

I disagree... Relationship needs to be cultivated. Not by the guy only or the other way around. It's give and take. It's really human nature to be bored of something or in a way lose its flavor. If you asked me bout the relationship that I have now, we've been dating for almost 4 years now. As years goes, we've been more sweeter than the day that we decided to be part of each lives. It matters really if you value the relationship that you established. And if you really love the person whom you are right now, you will never be tired of doing new things together or you will love her more and more. Haha.. This is just my point, it's because of the experienced that I have. He's my first and I hope she will be my last. I really love the song "marry your daughter". I do hope I can sing this song to her father! haha LoL

I think relations should have a little change as time passes. I will tell you a small example When a couple is married they become very true in love and they tries to enjoy the maximum by spenting the money on certain things like ornaments, clothes and so on. When they have a little child in their life the parents need to spent little money of him. They also wants to keep little more money as future needs. As the child grows heavy the expenses increases day by day. So the parents need to stop their enjoyable life to a certain extend. So the things should be changed and the relation between a wife and husband gets little weak have a stronger bond on parents and a child.

It will depend in the situation you are facing, things change, no matter what we do, but we should always make the most of every change. It could be due to your partner's job which he/she spends less time with you, and when the time comes that you finally have time with each other, like I said make the most of it. have a niceday friend
