How can you tell...

How can you tell when a relationship has become a habit?... what i mean is how can you tell when a relationship changes from being together because you want to be and love each other - to being together because you're so used to being together?

Not sure if that makes sense... anyone get me??

It's very difficult to tell.

But also don't forget that the ending of the "honeymoon" phase of a relationship can also make you feel like it is "stale", for the simple fact that things are no longer new and exciting. The relationship isn't stale, and if you spend any time away you'd realise this, but people often mis-represent becoming comfortable with becoming boring.

this isn't a pop at you.
this is a pop at the modern mad world of meaninglesness ...
for example ...how much of life and which bits actualy have strong and true meanings to you ...without any doubt?
the modern world of shiny things and endless ideas seems to have thrown up a world of doubt and uncertainty ...nothing has permanent meaning ...a solid truth to be unquestioned.
of course the initial excitement and interest are gone.
now is when you start to realy understand and appreciate each other ...and actualy care about each others well being.
but ...in this godless world it's all about ...where did all the fun go in the world?
too many people seem to have been brainwashed by this godless materialistic world into believing it's all about fun and pleasure ...fun is easy ...happiness has to be worked at and isn't experienced in a mere moment. and pleasure and happiness are only distant cousins.
but ...how the fuck do you work toward happiness when fun is getting in the way ...when pleasure is deemed to be happiness ...
guess what ...people who love each other ...often take each other and the situation for granted ...then up pops any manner of difficulty or problem large or trifling ...and they realise they have eacjh other ...
if your a modern shiny person in a modern shiny world wanting what modern shiny people want ...your fucked!
