10 Signs You Should Try Polyamory (Even If You Think It’s Not For You)

2.    Routines and monotone atmospheres are taking a toll.

It is easy for relationships to fall under a routine. You realize that you have less and less stories to tell, you know everything about each other and novelty begins to die. With that, so does desire and passion. Yes, it takes work to maintain this in relationships and it is possible. In fact, it is vital for the survival of relationships. But it will never be the same and that is okay.

Many people like to chase after this “spark” and they will end great relationships for other ones, only to regret ever doing so in the first place. Here is the eye opener: that “spark” is not love. Love is knowing someone so well that novelty is no longer present. And there is great comfort in that. It’s okay to look for exciting ventures with other people and to share that together. It might even help liven up your own relationship in ways unimagined.
