When you initially get together with your new love, you can’t imagine ever being apart. It’s taken you this long to get together, why would you want to be anywhere else? However, eventually you will need to come up for air. You need some space between you both.

Before you got together, you each had your separate lives. Your new found relationship doesn’t necessarily herald the end of your previous you. After all, that’s the you that your significant other fell in love with. Make an effort to stay connected with your pre-relationship self. Make a point to call your friends and hang out with them. Certainly bring your significant other along to meet them, but also have the courage to hang out without your significant other. Encourage your significant other to do the same.

It’s far too easy to get sucked into the relationship black hole, but that’s not always healthy for you two. You may not believe it, but if you stay in the same place with the same person for a long enough time, you will start to get on each other’s nerves. Little quirks that seemed cute before will start to annoy the ever loving shit out of you! Reconnecting with your previous life can help stave off the ill effects of the relationship black hole.
