Check Point #1: 3 Months
You are nearing the 3rd month in your new relationship and that means that you are either completely fed up with your new beau, or you are ready to go into the honeymoon phase of your relationship. Usually its the latter, and you two are more likely getting more and more intimate as you get more comfortable with each other.
If things are going well, it is important to remember to slow things down a bit, as the friction from your love can spark things up a bit faster than either of you may be truly prepared for. Many reach the 3 month check point and are so enchanted by the chemical romance their bodies are putting out, that they thrown on the dress and tux before they’ve even realize what they’re really getting into.
Check point 1 is not a time to be afraid of your relationship, its just important to remember to slow things down a bit so that your embers don’t get snuffed out before they really get going. Instead of worry about tying the knot, try worrying about what their favorite dinner is, or what they prefer to wear in the summer verses the winter, whether they’re a cat person or a dog person. Because this is usually such an open period, it is the best time to get to know each other on a level you’ll most likely miss out on later in the relationship.
If this check point marks your way to an early end, you will surely know about it. You two may both be aware that the relationship has taken a drastic turn in the wrong direction, and if your like most other couples, you may end up struggling to keep the relationship together for a little longer. If you’ve hit this point, give it up now, it truly will be easier than later.
