Changes you must face when you don't reciprocate romantically to your partner!
Romantic relationships build on the aspect of romance and consistent romantic attractions. Be it casual dating, a serious relationship, or a lifelong commitment, all these romantic bonds work only when a couple reciprocates each other romantically and sensually. Needless to say, all forms of sex play a prominent role in keeping a couple attracted to each other physically and forming connections emotionally. Call it intimacy or basic necessity; romance is indeed an essential factor to bring two people together in every possible way. But what if you go unfocused, lose the zeal, and neglect that important aspect of your romantic life? Well, trivial changes may result in massive moves and ultimately any couple may end up questioning their romantic bonds.
Agree with it or not, no two people contain the same kind of libido levels, sexual fantasies, and sensual attractions. Everyone has their own opinion when it comes to romance. For some, a slight peck is all enough to fall in love but for some continuous sexual hangouts beget them feel attracted to each other. In the process of exploring the extremes, a couple must find the balance, if not that relationship may go unbalanced.
That consensual aspect is important no matter what. You can't force someone to act romanticly with you, even though if you are married to any person. That's inappropriate, but it also doesn't mean that your relationship goes smoothly if you keep restricting the factor of romance. If you say 'no' to romance purposely or unintentionally to your partner, you become the person who invites drastic changes in your relationship.
Indeed, romance is the key part of a relationship where it doesn't allow one's partner to divert one's path. Do you think it is difficult for a person to find a romantic substitute in this modern world? Unlike earlier eras, now relationships are happening after exploring each other romantically and sexually. Hence, if you think your partner stays with you regardless of your zero romantic contribution in your relationship, then you are wrong.
Keeping sex aside, romance includes appreciating each other's efforts, praising each other's beauties, embracing each other's strengths and weaknesses, inquiring about each other's good and bad, accepting each other's physical and mental abilities, and most importantly giving and receiving each other's love in every possible form. If you fail at any one of these aspects, you have to face the changes in your romantic equation with your partner.
These changes broaden the gap between a couple and make others fill the void, which ultimately results in breaking off the relationship. Unfortunately, these changes would be invisible initially but gradually they become intense and a couple may experience drastic visible changes like:
Losing the interest in making conversations with each other.
Try to escape each other's presence and existence.
Find time to mingle with others and search for the aspect of romance in others.
All the things that a couple finds interesting in each other suddenly become irritating factors.
Less attendance in each other's special events and moments.
Roaming in guilt trips after committing silly mistakes when the romantic moods go out of hand.
Cheating on each other but remain unhappy and dissatisfied.
Try to make each other jealous by involving and hanging out with others.
Preferences and priorities change, indeed situations may arise where a couple gives each other zero priority.
Cracks in the relationship can be easily noticed by a couple's near and dear.
Love becomes a big question mark.
A couple may feel the relationship as a mere responsibility or a regret.
Suffocation in a relationship without romance results in frustrated behavioral patterns.
The urge in need of sex and the elevation in horny feelings may go uncontrolled.
And at this moment, a person may feel the need of any other person who reciprocates romantically the way one deserves.
These changes are quite temporary and if you recognize and realize, you can still work on your passionate side to set things right and back on track. But this happens only when you are ready to adjust, sort, and reciprocate romantically. Communication is critical during the process. Asking your partner's tastes, preferences, likes, dislikes, fantasies, fetishes, problems, moods, approaches, and everything related to physical and emotional intimacy, may help you to get along with your partner and respond accordingly. Of course, it doesn't mean you need to play around with your partner's romantic needs always. It has everything to do with your romantic needs and limitations. Make your partner understand the meaning of your kind of romance and then bridge the gap so that you end up reciprocating romantically at an ideal level. And then, you witness all the negative changes positive automatically. Romance is also about perceiving and understanding each other. Don't neglect now and regret later. Act upon it and make your relationship better.
