I even called her out on it, but the behavior continued to get worse and she stopped trying all together. How do you go about dealing with this situation when they end up just taking and taking and never giving back or going back the person the were when you first met them. Is this one of those times where you throw in the towel because what is the point in being with someone you want to change? It is easier to be with one that you don't want or need to change right?

But, it is totally unrealistic, and if you think it will always have that tremendous adrenalin, heart pumping, craving, rush, you are in for a huge dissapointment. All relationships go through stages. It is inevitable. It's like eating mint chocolate chip ice cream for the first time. You love it, can't get enough of it, have to have it all the time. But, after a few weeks, of having it every meal, you get used to it, grow accustomed to the flavor, and don't have the same zest for it. Relationships are the same. At first they are new, and you are in love and lust, for your new flavor, you just experienced. After time, you still like it, and want it, but will never have the same desire for it, that you did when you first tasted it. It becomes your steady, reliable, comfortable, standby, that you enjoy less frequently, but still is your favorite flavor. I know people will scoff at comparing a person, to ice cream, but those that have been in relationships for over 10 or 15 years, will certainly know what I mean.
