How do people keep relationships going?

[ElephantePicante]

I've been in a relationship for a few months and we see eachother a couple of times a week. It's all been going really well but recently I feel like I just don't have the energy to 'be' someone's partner. I'm knackered after work, don't have the energy to talk to anyone, just want to eat, shower and go to bed. The evenings that we are due to see eachother I don't feel like I'm the 'best version' of myself for them. It's got me wondering how do people keep a relationship going, putting the energy in each day, alongside full time work and life and then you throw children into the mix.

I'm like this, but have been seeing my partner for 3 years. We both juggle kids & busy lives. We knocked the week day meets off & stick to weekends. Luckily we're pretty similar in the sense that we like our own space. When we do get together I enjoy his company & we have a laugh.
At a couple of months in I would question if he's the one if you're feeling like this now. On the other side of things if you're both happy with seeing each other less it's not a problem whatever suits. How old are you? I'm a menopausal wreck alot of the time & can't be doing with anyone 😆

@Joy69 I'm 29 no kids.

I couldn't wait to see dp, still can't living together

I would suggest thinking whether it's right for you

‘I think when you're with the right person, spending time with them gives you energy instead of draining it.’

That depends entirely on the individual. We’re not all the same.

You have to really like someone.

As it’s only two nights a week then he is not right for you but if you are really that much of an introvert then maybe a relationship in the traditional sense is never going to be right for you.
