Marie's #3: The Second Year of a Relationship


Dear Pierre,

During these last few years I have seen so many of friends get in and out of relationships, some of them were serious, and some weren’t really.
The people who never dreamt of a nice forever don’t really matter, but those who thought themselves to be madly in love, to be the match made in heaven, are what confuses me because literally most of them went on separate roads around their fourth year of being together.
It’s natural that they feel devastated at some point. I mean remembering the butterflies that ate your stomach up on those first months, seeing that the happiness you thought you’ve finally found has long disappeared…
Yeah…
So why did it disappear? Did the fire that they ignited inside of them burn too much and did what all fires do? Turn everything to ash? I’d reckon that, but really why do they become so intolerant of each other after one thousand and some more days.
Because we humans live 365 on loop; Sure we grow up and some events happen but we still have that “this time last year”, so as the first 365 days go heavenly and smoothly, the second ones begin to tremble after long enough, and not hard enough for anyone to notice then the third become plain and the forth indifferent.




I really think that that second year of the relationship is the crossroad to either lasting or fading, and how we live that same day for the second time with the person we hold as the most important can show us which road we can take. So in order for the fire to keep burning we must keep feeding it, to hold on to the dream of a everlasting flame we need to invest much of ourselves into it.

I thought this was perfect time to remind you and myself that this dreamy floating island of ours needs a real and solid basis and it’s only up to us to go down and work on it.

With much love,
Marie.
