Dear gamer:

“I asked him the same question as you have stated. ‘What happens if he’s frustrated again?'”-

– what was his answer???

“I told him that it is so unfair for me to have to go through ALL of this because he felt frustrated”- I agree.

“What do you mean by ‘the love was time limited and has expired?’ I understand that most relationships are amazing throughout the honeymoon stage and then it gets real after that”-

– intense romantic love (the honeymoon stage you mentioned) often does have an expiration date, and when it expires, couple either separate or stay together. If they stay together, they are either miserable or they adjust and make the relationship healthy, loving, valuable, a Win-Win arrangement.

In the latter possibility, when one of the two gets frustrated, he/ she doesn’t turn away from his partner (and settles in purgatory, a place between being in the relationship and ending the relationship), but instead he turns toward her for help and support.
