It might seem like a specific question lol but it’s a trend me and almost all of my friends have noticed in our relationship. I’ve only ever been in two serious relationships but both times they started off so sweet, and for a while were very loving and affectionate and wanting to spend lots of time together. Then after a while they started off talking to you less, and don’t express their love at all anymore, and it gets to the point where we’re both the equivalent of being single lol. So I assume they’ve lost interest and try and break up with them, but then they get super upset and say they feel exactly the same as they always have and say they really love the relationship and want it to continue.
I’m just wondering why that change seems to always occur, and what benefit they could possibly be getting out of a relationship where the two people barely interact that makes them want to continue it
