Jason is 18 years old and his
girlfriend is 18 as well. He says, "We have been
together for a bit over a year now and things
have seemed to changed a lot since we first got
together. Our
relationship just seems to have
lost the excitement, which hurts. Even though we
do love each other, it's becoming hard for us to
have fun. Do you have any suggestions on what we
can do to
bring back that excitement?"
Remember that regardless of the
age, all
couples experience a reduction in level
of excitement over time, and that is exactly
what is happening to you. As
you are probably noticing, the
frequency and
intensity of sex goes down, she might start
taking you for granted, and you might even be
fighting more often.
If that is what it is, there is nothing to
worry, because it is perfectly normal. The only
thing to worry about is if you are both
realizing that you are
different and
have less in common. At any age
that is a problem, but at your age, it is a
clear sign of a problem, because when you are
18, you
get into a
relationship without thinking much, and most
often the
main attraction is sex rather than a
strong emotional connection. So in case you both
feel that you
lack a connection, then it is better to
end the
relationship. |
