"People put so much effort into the beginning of a relationship and so little effort into the end!" - Marina Abramović
Relationships end when they stop communicating. When you don't even talk about everyday things anymore. You stop saying good and bad things to your partner. Don't tell us how much you value him and what excites you. Let your anger and emotions build up inside you. Relationships end when you start talking about your problems with everyone but your partner.
Relationships end when they stop showing each other love and affection. When you feel like your relationship has an expiration date and the relationship becomes a habit. When you forget to show that you care about each other. When you become sure that your partner is not going anywhere and you stop trying. When you start taking them for granted. Relationships end when you kill love with your own hands, when you claim that love fades over time and that there is nothing you can do about it.
Relationships end when they stop trying to understand each other. When you stop trying to be there for each other and when you stop giving each other all the little things that matter. Little things like a sincere smile, a loving touch, a kind word, a kiss, a hug and the feeling that you are there for them. Relationships end when you feel like you are all alone in it.
Relationships end when they stop trying to understand each other.Relationships end when you choose not to be vulnerable. When you no longer show someone your true self, including your fears, insecurities and all your scars. They end when your partner only knows one version of you, when you don't let them see the softer, more sensitive parts of you. The parts you don't show anyone else. Parts that could break.
They end when you're afraid to show them that you need them or that you can't imagine your life without them. They end when the ego replaces the heart.
Sometimes relationships end because it just wasn't meant to be. Although they tried, they broke up. But sometimes relationships end too quickly, they end for all the wrong reasons. They end even though they could last. They end because two people were too stubborn, too proud, too scared and closed off and protective of themselves to open up and let the other person into them. Some relationships end because they were difficult. However, relationships are never easy, they are not perfect, and maybe THAT very expectation is what destroys them.
Relationships end when you let them die instead of trying to save them.
