It happens to the best of us; you meet the most phenomenal mate and you two cruise through paradise. At some point, unexpectedly, paradise landed in an inferno. Without notice the tone of voice changes and the fire and desire is different. There's bickering, the (what you've decided is) thoughtless conduct, the absence of sex, chat-less nights, and sole strolls around town emerge. It happens to the noblest of men. However, does these sporadic occurrences deem a flimsy relationship? Or are these behaviors normal? Let's discuss your thoughts of the makings of a relationship going south.

After the "honeymoon" stage everything goes to reality. The lovey dove romance usually takes a back seat to kids, bills and every day life. It happens in every relationship. People sometimes take that as love disappearing but it's just normal.
My husband and I have been together 12 years and married for 11 years. We have had many ups and downs-being homeless, miscarriages, being laid off, job injuries, etc... We chose to love each other through it all.
We don't have much romance these days. Not because we don't love each other but because real life gets in the way. We have 4 children, bills, stress, vehicle issues, etc. No time or money to escape reality-ever.

@LovingMyBabies 12 years is a good course; you two are strong! I say the romance can diminish. It's unfortunate, but there's reality to attend once a couple's serious. Should one regularly compromise the craving for passion and pleasure? Is it impractical to balance the romance and "reality"? It's possible an unexcitable relationship could lead to more problems. I imagine most men would argue there should not be a trade-off. Us women find it harder to balance.

There are stages of every relationship, namely: meeting the person for the first time, the chase (getting to know stage), honeymoon stage (becoming official), comfort stage (getting use to the same routine), tolerance stage (arguing most of the time), downhill stage (the other person or both of you decided to stop fighting for your relationship), and break up stage.
I saw this from YouTube. It's actually a short yet realistic film.
It's funny how people started from being strangers and end up like being strangers again.
All of the signs/occurrences that you posted are sure signs that your relationship with that special someone is almost over. You have the option to fight for it or end it for good. Couples go through these stages and it's a never ending cycle until you manage to find the one.
I hope you'll find the one soon.
