6 Stages of a Relationship - Which One Are You?

Who here is single and watching this video just for educational purposes? 🙋

Feel like I'm wasting time. Yh I've known her for a month amd want to go out but we barley socialize. I'm driving away and losing interest every day

I'm in the first stage at this moment. Went on our first date yesterday and it was memorable. We are looking forward to the next date 💞

It’s been one year and I think we’re at stage two. We will be facing stage three this year. ❤

Honeymoon phase
Reality call
Stability
Commitment

My ex gave up at around stage two and three. We were friends first, which I believed meant that we would last longer than we did. We were also each other's first partners, and the first four–five months were amazing.

We had been together for 11 months and had to do long-distance over the summer, which was tough but we made it through.

Then, after being back at uni for a few months, he broke up with me, telling me that his feelings weren't as strong as they used to be. Of course, this is a normal stage in a relationship; I understood that, but I don't think my ex did.

Personally, I think he gave up a bit too soon. Relationships, once that honeymoon phase ends, are to be carried on through friendship and trust. My ex said that he still wants to be friends, and while I agreed, it is more difficult than I had anticipated. We had talked a few times after the breakup, and we just clicked like old times—but he still didn't want the relationship.

It's been tough, as we are in the same friend group; thus, I've started distancing myself from them because being around my ex in a group setting is something I'm not ready for.

My ex and I contact each other every few days. I never initiate, but he sends me stuff and continues the conversations. I take my time to get back to him in order to heal and not seem too eager.

We have not seen each other in three weeks, and during that time I've been reaching out to new friends.

Deep down, I still see potential between us. I've observed that he can be a bit emotionally immature and probably set his expectations a bit high. I don't think he understood that all relationships have their ups and downs and that all of them lose that initial spark. Hopefully taking some space will give us both time to reflect.

My crush is my freind for 6 years so ive had the wake up call in our freindship. i also just confessed so its in euforia

Glad you said people may revisit stages for growth, I feel like that's just factual for everyone. We fluctuate between stages for growing at intervals in the relationship... I think lol.

This is very good. My ex-boyfriend and I stayed at the second stage. He was keeping me on the side and then I started to shake him off of me using aggressive words, unfortunately. He has been abusive and using my need for family to invite me to family gatherings where he belittled me. At the same time, he treated me very badly and overcompensated with sentimentality. He has a dry sense of humor sometimes - sarcastic and offensive and threatening. I wasn't aware that I was his girlfriend; I felt as his placeholder companion. Then, I realized how he played with me and it made me angry. He said he would have married me.

The suspension of negative judgment or the Stockholm syndrome?😢

slightly different voice

My parents are waiting for me to go to college to stop at stage 2 😕

One thing I would say about my ex was he was so giving, he believed in helping anyone. When we went to restaurants he tipped good.

I'm in the wake up call stage with my boyfriend 😖😖We have been arguing a lot more lately and it sucks cuz it's over little things and we have a hard time communicating😥I'm more defensive and have a hard time setting boundaries so

What if there was never euphoria?

Together 12 years. We are at the stability stage. You cannot change someone else. You love them for who they are (and respect their boundaries) or you walk. You’re not going to get everything you want in a relationship. In a healthy relationship you will get what you NEED emotionally and physically but it won’t always be all that exciting. You have to learn to appreciate the little things and the little moments. We have a beautiful family life. But it doesn’t look how I imagined it. I hate how much time I wasted trying to change her. She never did change and never will. In the end I feel that I had to be the one to change but again you can’t keep score. I may have had to change more in certain respects but maybe she works harder in other areas. At this point I just appreciate our beautiful family. I recognize I choose to be with her and love her despite what I see as her “flaws”. (Whether something is a flaw or an attribute is entirely a matter of perspective anyway. Some things that are flaws in certain instances are positive attributes at other times.)

We’re in the “single now” phase ✌🏼

Just finished stage 3 going into 4!!!!

Me and my lover are in stage 5. I know him since 3 years and he loved me ever since. After few months its gonna be 4 years. Years of waiting and i finally said yes. He never forced me, he patiently waited for me and supported me through thick and thin. We've been together for few months now and he brings me so much pleasure and joy❤

i think my partner and i are between stage 3 and 4
i love him so much dude omg

I am super single but still watching this for no reason 💀

We are on our Stage 6 :)

Stage 4, stability stage

Imagine being in a relationship.

Me and my bf are definitely in the wake up call phase. It feels almost like a bubble burst. We have small little disagreements/arguments every week but we usually sort it out with communication and by accepting where we might have been wrong.

I think somone is wrong with mine I’m stuck at the honeymoon phase it’s been 5 years and i dint think i could say I vouched live without them i like them I know ill be able to live without them but there my closest person to me so it's hard not to be in the 1st state constantly

I sometimes feel like my bf is imaginary. I might just like the idea of him. Probably because I'm the place where I don’t feel excited. Well, I still wanna put efforts to get through this. And I think my case is so common hehe. This is like a middle school relationship hehe

Well I was a little bit confused my girlfriend ❤

Lol im in the stage where i dont have one lol

Never been in any stage.

Do you know BTS? 💜

Did you just sing 'euphoria' by BTS?

Watching for seeing when my relationship might be

I'm at the 2nd stage and it happens very often😌And it scares me. We are pretty different with certain things and had pretty big stuff happen. Currently going through one too

The wake up call

I’m on the big test 🙁

Still in uforia... i hope we stay together ❤️
Edit: were creeping into the second phase :)

So in love 🥰

*Euphoria

when I heard *Eu-pho-ri-ahh* = instant like.

I’m
In the big test rn ahhah. Me and my partner are going through really bad financial situation! My partner is paying most of the bills at home while I still look for a job. We often fight about it.

I'm alone dude

Ugh Going through the wake up call/big test it’s very tough I reallly hope we can make it past this😐

Bold for you to assume i have a relationship

It's been 9 months and I'm currently in the wake up call part of the relationship. I don't feel that me and my partner are compatible anymore but he's very certain that we are. I'm giving him some time to get therapy and time for me to get the space I need. Let's see if we make it through!
