Okay so I have been totally M.I.A for a while now but that’s only because I’ve had exams and not really like I’ve been super busy studying but I don’t know I was just extremely busy for the past few weeks...anyways I’m back now!
So I was sitting in math class (this was a while ago but I just remembered and I’m going to tell you about it)... and for some strange reason my teacher wanted to take a mental break...yes a mental break (my teacher likes taking lots of these and honestly so do we.) Anyways, so we randomly started talking about relationships (I know math and relationships wth goes on in our math class...but trust me its super interesting.) So he said and yes my teacher is a MAN and he likes talking about relationships...don’t judge him...he’s a good man...he said there are three stages to a relationship and then you either break up or stay together and live happily ever after. Well not really happily ever after because there is no such thing as happily ever after...this is no Disney movie! Anyways so yea you either end up in a break up or have a stronger relationship...and apparently everyone goes through these stages.
So the first stage is called “romantic love” this is the stage where everything is all fun, everyone’s happy you feel like you’re on top of the world and you get that warm fuzzy feeling when you see your partner. This is probably the best time in your whole entire relationship...no problems, no fighting everything’s all good.
The next stage is “the annoying stage” and by the name you can probably tell what that’s all about. This is the stage where every little thing about the other person starts to annoy you, like leaving the toilet seat up after you go to the bathroom or using too many towels when you take a shower or how unclean their room is. Basically all the little things you didn’t even notice in the “romantic love” stage all of a sudden you notice and you don’t like.
The third stage is “power struggle,” this is the stage where one person in the relationship wants to “run the show” and your egos clash. This is usually the stage where most of the fighting happens and this could be again over stupid little things like leaving the toilet seat up after using the bathroom.
After you go through these 3 different stages you either end up having a stronger relationship and a mutual understanding or you break up and move on with your life to another relationship and believe it or not you’re going to go through the same cycle of these three different stages again...in your new relationship now.
So this was a gist of the conversation in math class and honestly I could elaborate on this but I’m not going to because that might be kinda boring for ya’ll to take in right now so I’m going to leave it at that. Hope you enjoyed it and maybe learned a thing or two.
Nice post Dee! Haha, funny too! It almost makes me want to be in your math class (ok never mind, I don't want to be in a math environment ever again lol). If your teacher is taking a mental break, imagine how tedious math must be for us!
ReplyDeleteAll this information is, once you think about it, so true! But, as a hopeless romantic, I'd love to just pretend everything is happily ever after. I find the power struggle phase interesting. Not sure if it applies to all relationships. Maybe the majority. The other two stages I can see being quite universal.
Do elaborate on this later! I'd love to hear what you have to say!
