Love test: how to spend the emotional break-in period? Is TA right for you? Intimacy test

In love, we often hear a word-running-in period.




Men and women at this stage usually quarrel over trivial matters.




The specific performance is as follows:




When the feelings are very stable, there are a few strong feelings.




However, in the end, I convinced myself to try again.




Everyone will find a problem: the longer the time, the harder the breakup.




On the one hand, I worry about missing love, and on the other hand, I don’t want to be wasted in a painful relationship.




When is the real break-in period and when should we break up?






1. What is the running-in period?




Psychologically,The development of intimacy mainly goes through five stages:




Romantic period-power struggle period-stable period-commitment period-affection period.




And what we often call the "run-in period" is the period of power struggle.




When the aura of romance fades, we seem to be missing the original beautifying filters for our partners.




We began to ignore each other's strengths, and even began to pay attention to each other's shortcomings.




During the break-in period, when we find that our partner has not met our expectations, we often feel very disappointed.



At the same time, most people will also think about a question: should we break up or continue to break up?




We can judge your relationship from the following two dimensions.




1. What is your bottom line?




Before answering this question,You can divide the intolerable into three categories. (By severity)




1. Red line behavior


2. Orange line behavior

3.


Red line behavior may include: domestic violence.




Orange line behavior may include: deception, strong desire for control.




Yellow line behavior: cold violence, verbal violence, differences in life, differences in personality.




After dividing the severity of the matter, you can make sure that your bottom line is acceptable.




Simply put, only then can you clearly see if there is room for further efforts in this relationship.

Would you like to work together?




2. How long are you willing to spend and experience for this relationship?




3. What is the attitude of the other party? Is there any room for refusing to communicate?




These questions are all answered,You should also understand the answer to this relationship.




If you are still willing to work hard for it, then it is really a break-in period.



2. How to face the running-in period?


In the face of running-in disputes, what will most people do? Of course it is to reform him.




Yes, when a relationship is in crisis, most people want to change the other person.




For example:






p0 What did you do so late?"




The boy was very angry and sad. You might have a big fight with your girlfriend.




You try to clarify yourself and change your girlfriend's mind through verbal violence.




However,All this is in vain.




Girlfriends do not appreciate the hard work of boys, and they will become more and more fierce.






First of all, from the boy's point of view, you have discovered the problem of your partner.




You want to use "language" or some "means" to make your girlfriend change his mind.




Later you find that your method has not only failed, but deepened the rift in the relationship.




You may think that you should not use "arguing" to solve the problem, you start to look for other means.




Anyway, you try one thing over and over again: make your girlfriend change.




However, the truth is cruel, and the way you solve the problem is the problem itself.

Emotion is not a person's command.
