If things get tense, offer an exit: Maybe I'm not explaining this well.

You'll find the conversation stays open and you both stay engaged.

TIL about the 3-6-9 #dating rule i.e.
3 months: Honeymoon phase - enjoy the butterflies, figure out compatibility

6 months: Reality check - do you still like them when the dopamine wears off?

9 months: Decision point - is this actually going somewhere?

It's permission to pause and assess. Not just momentum. Not "we've come this far." Actual choice.

Because real #intimacy shows up after the butterflies leave.

When you see how they handle conflict. When you're both tired. When the mystery settles into reality.

That's who you're choosing. Not the highlight reel.

And honestly? This applies to everything.

Jobs. Friendships. Projects. Cities.

We're allowed to check in and change direction.

Growth isn't betrayal. It's honouring present truth.

Do you reassess your relationships, or do you just keep going until something breaks?

Found a video online that explains it well https://youtu.be/8KKD_kXdlrA?si=9fH3xtWitkUNpKuj

A Secret Wedding, Complicit Sisters, and a Wife Told to "Endure"

To summarize the main points, this is about my uncle. He has been married for 15 years and has four children: one boy and three girls. We are very close, especially since my father passed away when I was a teenager; my uncle stepped in and has treated me like his own son. That is why the current situation is so concerning to me.
