lchf Posted November 21, 2015 Posted November 21, 2015 Hello. I have a passing question. The majority of long term relationship couples (i.e. 2-5 years together roughly) that I know of tend have started developing issues around 3-5 years of being together, ultimately leading to break ups, either because people become incompaitble, either one can't commit further, relationship gets stale, or whatever the reason. Obviously I'm speaking in generalities as many LTR's develop into marriages and go for ages etc. I'm close to 3.5 years with my current gf and I was just curious if any of you in LTR's have subconsciously prepared for an eventual break-up, based on the time you've been together. I of course realise that relationships run their course all the time, and if you don't end up marrying your SO and being togther forever, you will end up breaking up. Even though I have no reason to suspect my relationship will develop issues soon (both 24 y/o) by the way, I feel a sense of anxiousness surrounding the time we've been together. I feel like even though I would accept a break up should it get to that, this is not healthy and has the potential to make me closed off, cold, and fearful of commitment down the line. Any thoughts on this? Thanks
