Emotional Rollercoaster: Are ups and downs healthy for a relationship?



If you ask the average person what kind of relationship they would prefer, most would allude to a relationship where issues did not exist. But is it possible that a person gets bored with a lack of excitement in their relationship?

There are more than a few ways to create excitement, and excitement doesn't always mean fun in a traditional sense, change is exciting, New Adventures, taking on new responsibilities can be exciting to some. The kind of excitement that I honestly prefer is traveling, moving to a different location, changing jobs or getting a promotion, exploring new hobbies together. This can create the same effect as the typical issues brought in to a relationship that create this breakup to makeup feeling where a new love is found and the relationship is Reborn [but without the down-feeling.].

The couple that goes on to work the same jobs for several years, comes home and has the same routine, lacks this feeling. In these types of relationships, I think we are more likely to see issues created that bring excitement into the relationship and sometimes unbeknownst to the person who's bringing the issues foward. Because of that, maybe it's healthy to experience disagreements at times, to work through issues and feel rejuvenated to some degree. I'm not saying you should create issues, but understand that they may be what's actually keeping things interesting because two people may become bored with each other and want to move on if they fall too deeply into a routine, and honestly, I think that's natural.

A rollercoaster is a lot more exciting than a train-ride.

Thoughts?
