You must have been manipulated! Or seduced! Or lied to! Something must have tricked you into falling for this sloth, because nobody in their right mind would ever put up with this shit. The answer-of course-is always a big fat “NO.” This is your ego-protection kicking in you need to build up enough evidence to prove to yourself that it wasn’t your own fault for marrying this bum. Is my partner contributing to the relationship as much as I am? Are they working as hard? You start to keep score to state your case for a future break up. Now (one year, three years, five years), your rational brain kicks in and starts to list the the pros and cons of being together. But when the honeymoon wears off, the shit begins to stink. So often, we confuse the initial excitement of meeting someone with true, enduring love. The problem with that strategy is that most reptiles track down a new partner the next day, whereas we humans are often looking for a trail mate to accompany us into ripe old age. So basically, your reptilian brain has taken over and decided who you’re going to spend the rest of your life with.

It’s such a rush, that we often wake up the next morning wondering what the hell just happened-which our mind optimistically interprets as “AHHHHHHHHHH!!! I must have died and gone to heaven!” But after the high wears off, what happens to heaven? With all these hormones coursing through our bodies, we can jump wildly into sex without consulting our brains for any sort of rationality. Well, it’s either God’s funny joke (thanks a lot, dude) or it’s nature’s way of helping us procreate. Why do humans respond this way to each other? It feels soooo good-and it’s the kiss of death. Hence, “I can’t live with you or without you.” It’s like heroin. The oxygen in your brain has just rushed into the most powerful escape tools in your body-our legs (and other organs). Your palms get sweaty you can’t think straight. In the first heat of love, your sympathetic nervous system causes your heart rate, blood pressure, and breath to speed up. We get a gut feeling- THIS is the person I’m supposed to be with forever. Your intuition tells you that this is your soulmate.īut what if that feeling was actually your gut telling you, “Danger Will Robinson, run like hell!”? The initial attraction we feel to our partners seems like destiny at the time. Have you ever thought this about your partner (or yourself)? 0 Likes “You’re NOT the person I fell in love with!”
