CrudeMood Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Have you ever noticed this a lot in relationships and a lot of the times when it starts out they turn sour pretty quick? Ive been reading a lot of forums and have noticed this pattern. You know, things start off great. Great conversation, great connection, just perfect! Then one party or the other just turns cold, everything that you thought you had dies off for several different reasons. It can be anything. I know I've been guilty of this before. Things will be going great and nothing is wrong but I just totally disappear. For me, its a fear of commitment and not knowing what to do because I never expected things to go so well so fast. Its almost as if its too good to be true. Can't get hurt if I don't involve myself, right? So the solution? I just run and you won't hear from me for weeks. I know its a horrible thing to do and I feel bad for it. But it happens to all of us... Has anyone else experienced this whether you are on the giving or receiving end of it? Come on confess!
sedona Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I don't know how many posts you've read here, but this isn't all that unusual. Unfortunately.
blind_otter Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Definitely, although moreso when I was younger than as I got older - my bestfriend and I used to call it "the Grossness" It was a phenomena which occurred a short period into a new relationship where everything was going great, and then suddenly I would become repulsed by the new person in my life. Suddenly, really overnight, their breath would bother me, or the way they phrased certain things, or the way they smelled. Just random things would suddenly make me just absolutely unable to be around that person - would find them "gross", and I would become cold, withdraw, and shortly thereafter I would break up with the unfortuante victim of "the Grossness".
