Is it true ? Shaky years of a relationship are 2-4-8

[jaqiiG]

Agree.. It's usually 2-3years. The good old 7 year itch has turned into the 2year one in this fast paced age. Girls kasi think men can change through the power of love so they hold on even if meron red flags na sa relationship. For example.. "he's just not so romantic" will seem okay and girls might think it's not too important. But as the years go by you realize you're waiting for something that might never happen and all the quirks you found were so charming in the beginning of the relationship become annoying. At the 2-3 year mark most relationships settle into the comfortable phase so it loses the "Spark" and if either of you are taking things for granted or not working to keep the love alive.. Things can happen.

in my experience, shaky years were 3-5-7.

3 years: he wants to cool off with me
5 years: he wants to cool off with me... again
7 years: i broke up with him

long story but it just wasn't going anywhere.

[xenos54]

i thought its 2-5-7

For me, it really depends on the situation. I've been in a relationship for more than five years now. Happy ang first year namin pero may issues parin kami like any other couples. But as years passed, I realized na hindi madali mag-handle ng long-term relationship. Siguro after our second year, doon na kami nagkaroon ng more serious issues. Actually every year, bago kami mag-celebrate ng anniversary nagkakaroon kami ng problem. I don't want to assume that this is the reason behind it, but I'd like to think that it's really part of a relationship. The most important thing is, you both face and handle your issues together. I'm sure malalagpasan niyo ang "shaky years" with your loved ones.

[ayami]

parang combination lang ng padlock yung shaky years ah. sa experience ko, 3-4-5 haha! we're on our 7th year na, so baka 7 year itch naman? hmn. ang sarap tingnan/obserbahan yung pattern.

If you are in your 30's to keep your relationship going for 2-3 years is enough, and should end-up either in marriage or break-up, beyond that is just too much of a waste of our reproductive years with guys who aren't serious with our time. If you met in college or high school, ok Lang tumagal pa kayo ng 5-10 years, pero Sana after that get married na, sayang Kasi na Hindi nag move forward ang relationship into something more permanent.

I think yung first 2-3 years are usually happy, romantic years, after that eh challenging na to keep the romance alive, you really have to work on it na, or meet someone new na.
It's a combination of science (chemicals in our brain) and relationship skills.
Dapat for every argument na daanan Meron na-re-resolve, else forget it. Too much effort and time to repair, rebuild, restore, everything will just recycle every few months or years.

^kaya nga eh ako nga sinabi ko kay bf kung wala pa rin mangyayari sa 2014 ayaw ko na.  Dependent talaga family nya sa kanya.  Nakakatakot mangyari sakin yung kagaya sa friend ko .  9 years old na anak panganay nila nagbibigay pa rin sa family nya.  Ok sana kung sa parents lang pati yung tamad na kapatid nanghihingi.  Tricycle driver ang trabaho dati tapos sya saleslady humihingi ang family nila tapos napagawa pa yung bahay ng byenan nya haha! Tapos ngayon abroad na asawa nya tapos sya resign na hingi ng hingi pa rin sila.  Ganun pa rin ang kapatid ng asawa nya tamad.  Kahit kausapin pa nya yun gagawa pa rin ng paraan makapagbigay sa family nya.

I agree with this, sis! Na first few years, honeymoon stage pa. Basta keep that stage through the years, hindi lang 1-2 years.

My boyfriend and I met in college. Good thing we're both working na. I considered our year after college as one of the hardest. Hirap mag-adjust, more issues pa kasi we're living in diff environment na. But I am thankful because we're still together (for five years now) and we face and resolve our problems together. That's the key! If you really love each other, and you see your future with your partner, I'm sure hindi magiging mahirap yun.

4 years na kami ng boyfriend.. mejo boring na talaga.. pero napapag-usapan naman namin.. so gumagawa na lang way para mag spice up ulit relationship namin..

[kiz_me1109]

Sabi nila 7th year daw. In our case naman, we broke up 2 months before our 4th year anniversarry. Tapos, nagkabalikan kami after a few weeks and got married. Sabi ng ex bf ko - now my husband, baka pareho lang kami nagsawa sa pagging bf-gf that time. Now, we are married for 3 years and 4th year na namin next year. I really hope na wala nang break ups na mangyayari. hehe

[prix]

kami ni hubby nagkaroon kami ng break-ups nung mag 3 years & 7 years na kami.. 7 yung pinakaserious & pinakamatagal na break-up namin.. Yung mga friends nya parehong 4 years nung mawalan ng mga girlfriend..

[theshopaholicprincess]

Yung two years possible pa yun kasi yung mga previous relationships ko nagkaka problem kami after two years pero yung last ko, after 6 years I already quit na. Siguro depende sa situation and sa relationship.

[Clair de Lune]

i don't know. my first two boyfriends lasted for two years each. sabi nga ng friend ko, may sumpa siguro ako at bakit hanggang two years lang nagtatagal relationships ko.

[KrabbyPatty!]

Sa family namin, 6yrs naman.

[tomatostellar]

we were having problems nung around 2nd year anniv, but eversince nagkaayos kami, maayos talaga walang major argument recently, mga konting tampuhan lang.. 2nd month pa lang namin after our 2nd year and Im very very happy na things are smoothsailin

[bibibuy]

we broke up exactly 7 years and 1 day. it was something that was really strong as in straight 7 years na walang lamat. we just finally decided and realized na ayaw na

[loverofsummer]

We broke up on our 4th year. 4 years and 6 months.

[mhy_pie03]

Yeah. Parang ganun nga. 3-4 shaky. Second bf ko we broke up on our 3rd year. Itong current ko, shaky ang 3rd yr though going 4th yr na kami this coming December.

[mixeeplikstick]

i think depende yan sa inyo in the relationship. my mga couples di naman na shaky everyday but by the end of the day sila pa rin.

[xtin3810]

There's something about the 7th year actually. We broke up on our 7th year. For three months I was dating someone else. Then I realize iba pa rin ang first love. So I came back We are married now
