Yeah. Well, this is what we were talking about a little bit before, which is that we are their best selves in the beginning, and then we get comfortable with And then we have this unconscious belief that this person that loves us should love us no matter what.
So even if I'm coming to the relationship consistently, and I really want to emphasize consistently because we will do this sometimes, consistently stress, moody, irritable, cold, why would you expect anyone to put up with that on a consistent basis? And relationships are what we make of them. And they need attention. And they need attention in the form of our mindfulness.

And that means that we're not going to be perfect, but you can't do anything all these wonderful things in the beginning, and then stop doing them and expect your relationship to be a good relationship.

We get used to something and we start to take it for granted. We think, you know, comfort is a wonderful thing in a relationship. Too much comfort often leads to the demise of a relationship. It gets so comfortable that we think, you know, it's like how a lot of us can be around family. We can regress to our seven-year-old self and be a total shit and we know we're going to be loved anyway.

In the honeymoon stage of a relationship, there's this illusion that all our stress goes away because this person has come into our life and we feel that euphoria and we feel so excited and it's new. And then our stress comes back. And we might put on a really brave face or we treat our coworkers great. We smile at a stranger on the street.
