She isn't imaginary. The relationship we have, however, is.

*Euphoria (for some reason, in their fervor to make a BTS reference, they chose to misspell the word despite it not being misspelled by the band. 😕)
@@user-vn7ce5ig1z yupp I know, which is why I said according to the video
lol. But don't miss out on the scenes..
Psych2Go damnnnn
Which one of these are good though and will last long?
*Relationships start with being in love. Later, this feeling reduces and a relationship exists out of trust, friendship and working together.*
A relationship never works without working on it. Either you give it enough attention or you quit it now.
Very true!
@@Psych2go Keep up the great videos! I love them :)
And thanks for following me! :O
"Eu-pho-ri-a..." 🎶 😌💜
I now Purple you Psych 2 Go
finally somone else who noticed~~
Yeah I noticed too💜
Yessss I said the sameee 💜
yesss, i'm in shook 💜
I think I'm at stage 6!! I've been in a very serious long term relationship for the past few years. We've had our ups and downs, but I'm glad my partner stuck with me through it all. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better partner...
Than myself 💕💕😂.
I think that stage 5
Got it 🤣🤣
Babygirl6102 😭
From how many years you're together??
I’m stage 0 😞
Love the word about commitment stage, "at this stage, you recognize you don't need her, but rather you choose to be with her"
There's something about Psych2Go that makes me feel so comforted and welcome (: every video is like a gift of knowledge I didn't know I needed
That's so sweet to hear. We're glad that we have that effect on you.
It's her voice, there's nothing more warm and relaxing.
"Which stage of the relationship are you on?"
I'm still looking for someone to co-op with
Any luck? What steps will you be taking?
@@Psych2go honestly just waiting. Being lesbian ain't exactly easy
@sandra nachi WHO ASKED
@sandra nachi any askers??
you hear that dude
its none
so please don't talk about topics barely convo related
@sandra nachi go away
Stage 2:: the wake up call.. I hope we are able to go thru all stages! I really love him and feel like this relationship is right for the both of us ;) wish me luck!!
Heyy!! :) Are you guys still together?
updates?♥️
Omg she did the euphoria by jungkook 😂
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TYPE THAT OUT. that made me so happy
EUPHORIAAAAAA .....yeah yeah yeah euphoria .... bts is great
Sadly i cant meet him
She pulled the jungkook euphoria card alright😂
Great video content! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Iennandon Voiceless Improvement (do a search on google)? It is an awesome one off product for stoping your premature ejaculation problem minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy after many years got cool results with it.

Omg I'm dying...that BTS reference was awesome ♡♡♡
@sandra nachi ok but who asked
sandra nachi bruh terrible place to self promote
Me and my bf are definitely in the wake up call phase. It feels almost like a bubble burst. We have small little disagreements/arguments every week but we usually sort it out with communication and by accepting where we might have been wrong.
How its going? Me and gf is in same phase ☹️ i just hope it works out
@@siddhantramteke3834 we went through this phase and we’re even better so it does work out! How u guys going now?
Is your partner imaginary? Wow. I felt personally attacked.
😁😁😁😁
I just got in a relationship this week man.
Update: Nevermind. We broke up yesterday. He said he doesn’t feel right being in a relationship. It hurts and unfair cause we had a really great friendship. I know I deserve so much better.
Tell me when it ends
Corrine Delos Reyes best of luck!
Congratulations make it work girl
Congrats!
Me too, I’m having a lot of anxiety about it but I hope it works out
I'd say stage 5. I used to run from love and fear it. I'm very introverted and dislike most people due to bad past experiences, but then I met the most amazing human being of my life who was patient and kind and empathetic. We went through some deeply hard times and made it out the other side with time and understanding and communication. We still have some hard times, but there's nothing I am more grateful for than our strong bond and commitment. It changed my life. I wish that for everyone.
So happy to hear you've found a beautiful and healthy relationship and thank you for wishing for everyone!
At commitment right now its so peaceful and respectful but it doesn't stop us missing each other 24/7
How did you cultivate this type of relationship?
@@Psych2go i have been abused for the majority of my life and we both have mental health diagnoses so it was all about understanding each other and trying to see where the other person is coming from. I try to motivate him to do something with his day and he gives me the kindness and respect i had always had to fight for before. The reason it works is mostly because we love and respect each other to know that no fight is worth ruining a healthy great relationship and once you realise that the silly petty arguments about who washed up last fade away. We are a team and we support each other like one. Thank you for replying i love this channel and it has helped both myself and my boyfriend understand ourselves you do great work!!
@@kevinwatchoutforthelight1299 you're giving me hope i can find a healthy loving reciprocal rs despite having to go thru negative things in life 😭💖 wish u all growth, happiness, and love
@@ElizRued awh thank you i never thought i would find anyone i could hold at night and call my bestfriend but though it took a few years i finally have someone who was worth the wait

Together 12 years. We are at the stability stage. You cannot change someone else. You love them for who they are (and respect their boundaries) or you walk. You’re not going to get everything you want in a relationship. In a healthy relationship you will get what you NEED emotionally and physically but it won’t always be all that exciting. You have to learn to appreciate the little things and the little moments. We have a beautiful family life. But it doesn’t look how I imagined it. I hate how much time I wasted trying to change her. She never did change and never will. In the end I feel that I had to be the one to change but again you can’t keep score. I may have had to change more in certain respects but maybe she works harder in other areas. At this point I just appreciate our beautiful family. I recognize I choose to be with her and love her despite what I see as her “flaws”. (Whether something is a flaw or an attribute is entirely a matter of perspective anyway. Some things that are flaws in certain instances are positive attributes at other times.)
Me: trying to learn stuff so my next relationship will go well.

Step -1: Actually going out to socialize again with other humans in real life.
"Is your partner imaginary?"
*Fuck, Kokichi they're onto us.*
My current relationship is just bouncing back from a bit of a social hiatus. Word of advice to those in a similar situation, if you believe that your relationship is worth it than make time.
I think me and my partner are somewhere between the third and fourth stage. We are still figuring us out, but it's getting a whole lot better. We're starting to fully respect eachothers "flaws" (I don't really think they're flaws, it's what makes us human) and I can be alone without wanting to be with my partner all the time (I was really attached to him) so that's why I say somewhere between 3 and 4 :)
Thanks for this video. Not too long ago I was in a 4 years long relationship and we barely managed to hit the third stage. I understand now that it's not time but maturity and selfcontrol that control a relationship.
Definately going through the big test; and it is because we’ve been inseparable since we started dating. We need time apart.
I think it's important to mention that euphoria and commitment are often confused since what seems like choosing to be with someone whilst acknowledging and accepting their flaws is more often than not ignoring someone's flaws or dismissing them as insignificant or tolerable.
Currently going through phase 2 of relationship😅 Really thankful to Psych2Go for posting wonderful videos that help to see the big picture rather than ponder over silly little things💖
Stage negative one~ liking people who won’t ever like you :)
Same
I love your videos! They've helped me rethink my relationship and work through things with my partner. We've been together for 7 years 😊
I’m probably in stage 1: I’m in my first relationship with a guy and I’ve literally haven’t been as happy as I am now. We have so much in common and we’re always laughing together. I’m really lucky to be with him and i hope this goes well even tho it’s my first bf.
Congrats on 2mil btw!!!🎉🎉
Love comes as a serendipity when it's a true one💜💜

@@getoveryourself2212 nah, it's "Vanessa Merrell"
🙏🏼..can't wait...🙏🏼😍🎁
In an LDR and while we have awhile left ( hopefully at the halfway mark now 5 years) we are at stage 5. I miss chatting frequently, but we have worked out that we need our own things and that it’s going to be tough ( FYI VERY TOUGH) but the security is there and after 5 years there’s no way in you know i would dream of giving this up.... learning and growing!❤️💪
Me and my partner are at the commitment stage. It's been a tough three years due to personal and health problems but I'm happy I met him. I hope our relationship blossoms into something even more beautiful 💜
I think we're either somewhere in stage 1 or stage 2. we've been together for over 2 months and there are times where I think he's absolutely perfect, but I understand he has flaws and I acknowledge and accept them. in the second stage, it seems as if I need something big, like a problem to tell if I'd stay with him or not, through it. well, so far, we haven't had any problems or arguments, however we are honest enough to tell each other our worries and concerns and seek companionship and comfort through them. uwu
I sometimes feel like these stages are not only one big sort of stairway but also a lot of small sorts of cycles that repeat each time you two discover something new within your partner or about the relationship dynamics.
I’m currently in stage 2. My partner has been adjusting to her medication, her masters program, and her full time job. Currently, I’m away for school and our communication has become comparatively weak. I’ve brought it up a few times but it seems that as long as I’m away, we can’t really make meaningful adjustments. Hoping to make progress this Summer. Thank you for the video and your time.
Are u guys still together
0:23 you are the cause of my euphoria
we’re on stage 3 and i really want us to get through it…i’ve never really got past this one but i really love this man
I believe in you Alexandra, I do. You got this!
My stages so far:
-Commitment
-Euphoria
Wish me luck! I'm probably pretty close to the Wake Up Call, even though I already know that nobody is perfect and also that nobody is all bad either.
It's been 9 months and I'm currently in the wake up call part of the relationship. I don't feel that me and my partner are compatible anymore but he's very certain that we are. I'm giving him some time to get therapy and time for me to get the space I need. Let's see if we make it through!
did you make it
Honestly if you are truly in love with someone their flaws should not matter one bit. My boyfriend and I are past all these stages but like you said in the last bit we do go back and do alot of these stages again. I have never experienced true happiness until I found him. He always tells me the same thing. It's fantastic.
We're in the second phase, and, can I say something? When you say "Thanks for watching~" IS SO CUTEEEE SJDKSKDLDL
Thanks for posting so many great videos!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching Max. Are there any other videos you'd like to see?
I’m at the commitment level because not only I chose to be with the girl I love, but also have a future career as a musician ahead for me and it is something that she understands to help me reach that goal ❤️
I'm in the loving-life-without-them stage.
No really. That's what happens when you were dating a sociopath.
Elizabeth Morales welp guess I've dated plenty of those if that's the case
Currently, we are experiencing "The Big Test", especially since both of us will be moving a bit farther from each other in different Colleges, so I wish us both luck and hope because we plan on staying together for a long time!
P.s. Thank you Psych2go hihi ♡
Did your relationship work out??
@@parthaprotimbarua603 Right now we're still together! 3 years and on going 😊 There were a lot of ups and downs but we are still going strong 🥰
@@LittleNinjaJasmin wow, congratulations to you two. I am going through a three year relationship as well. Ups and downs are just part of the journey. Best of luck in this journey.
Currently in the big test stage. LDR is hard not gonna lie. Here's hoping both of us will enter the next phase 😁
I think the third stage we've been friends for years and have always liked each other. about 6 months ago we got into a relationship at first it was really intense I did forget some of the traits that aren't the best and just expected him to change which was dumb like the first stage😅 then was the second stage when i was getting clingy and i thought he didn't like me anymore but he is also really bad at expressing his feelings and that's when we got to the third stage I've learned not to be insecure or possessive because both of need our space and we're both really busy with our work and school
he's learned to be more considerate of taking time to be with me. So we're learning to compromise. I think that both of us really want our relationship to work hopefully we can get to the other stages
Especially the sixth stage I think we would work great together❤️
me and my boyfriend are in the second stage. he is realizing that i have trust issues and he has anger issues. he want me to help him but doesn't want to help me.
it helps when we have time apart. he is an extrovert and i am an introvert. it is an opposites attract kind of relationship and we have more deeper things in common then people would think at first glance
I’m at the commitment stage and I’ve never been happier
Between the big test and stability 😬 hope we make it through
It seemed we went almost straight to stage 2 with a lot of fights. We broke up and are back together now for the big test. For now everything is better than ever before, having worked out most issues. Now we can work on stability and revisit stage 1 that we seemed to have skipped.
Studying psychology I loved how scientist (usually theorist, of course) loved putting things into stages: X stages of grief, X stages of childhood, X stages of love… and somewhere at the end of the course they tell you that it all depends and really a huge number of patients will not go through these stages. It was still nice to listen, though!
Just survived the wake up call stage moving into stability 🥰🤞🏿🧿✨
Rell&Dom💛🙏🏿
I feel like it would be really beneficial to show this video to your partner and ask them which stage your relationship is in to see if you’re on the same page
2:39 I LOVE THAT CAT SO MUCH ITS TOO CUTE
Just what I needed thank you ❤️❤️❤️🥰
Thanks for the information! Keep up the good work ! May God bless you and your fam !!
Thanks for the support! Likewise :)
Stage 0 confirmed
sandra nachi fuck off
im in stage 0: the single pringle
This was really helpful.:)
I feel like me and my boyfriend are at stage 4. We're planning on getting engaged once I turn 18, but the two of us are currently going through a lot. He's got a lot of college work and big family issues, I'm overcoming issues surrounding my mental and physical health. It's a lot of pressure, and it makes things difficult at times. Some days we rarely talk, many days we don't talk much, but the time we do spend together is close and intimate and is a reminder as to why I need and want him. You don't find true love, you make it. We establish clear communication (which is helpful for my autism) and we tell each other when we've irritated one another, ask for space when needed, etc. I think we've got a good system going and I know we've got a good future ahead of us.
Stage 7:
Im Single😂💖
That's actually stage 0
I'm at the 2nd stage and it happens very often😌And it scares me. We are pretty different with certain things and had pretty big stuff happen. Currently going through one too
I'm in the first stage at this moment. Went on our first date yesterday and it was memorable. We are looking forward to the next date 💞
All my relationships in the past have never been able to conquer stage 3 as much as I try to pretend they were all serious and I was committed with all of them.
Once, I was in a relationship with a guy that I liked for three years! He was absolutely perfect, to me he could do no wrong. Once we started dating, I saw every fault he had and I even tried to ignore them or tried dealing with them by telling him about them. They were very toxic faults, so I had to let him go because he denied everything and said that I was just stressed out by school work.
Yeah, we're still friends, but as partners we just weren't going to work.
You know my girlfriend also liked me throughout middle school she would stare at me from afar and we talked once on the bus but I got confused and mistook the honeymoon phase for losing feelings breaking things off was one of my worst mistakes I hope she comes back but I enjoyed your story.
Just started a relationship recently and I’m hoping we have a great stage 2 & 3 so we have an even better 3-6. Wish us luck
Yo me and you started are relationships at the same time how’s yours. We broke up the 21rst of April. I’m inexperienced in relationships so I mistook the end of the honeymoon phase for losing feelings and she didn’t take me back but oh well.
@@idkmanitsjustaname2553Same thing happened to me, she broke up with me about April 5th. Sorry that happened to ya. But wow, the almost exact same thing happened to me! What a coincidence.
I- LOVE THIS CHANNEL
Stage 5: I do struggle with my mental health and we're having a difficult time finding our own apartment which causes a little strain.. but we are always sure to communicate and reassure each other.
😂 I love how this was me and my boyfriend when we first started to date. We are in a stage where we just annoy each other, but in a good way.
Lol, I think me and my partner are creeping out of uforia and into the Wakeup Call. But we haven't hade a huge fight yet and im really thankful for that. We are working through our little quirks we both share, Like for example: my Girlfriend finds it really weird that I like Peanut butter and Chocolate sandwiches.(cant blame her tho lol) but we had a conversation about it and she revealed that she likes Pb&J sandwiches, well. I personally hate those. And then we laughed way too hard over it and ate our sandwiches. Coming to a silent agreement that we like different things
My girlfriend and I are in the wake up call stage too. Its just so strange that just last month we could get our hands of each other and now it feels like, I do have a girlfriend and the feeling is plain
Yeah, we are in the transition too. Lile I start to see his little flaws and I think he sees mines but we haven't had any major fights yet
3 years into a relationship, we're 4-5
Beautiful video. True. Been with her for 5 years
We love an internet therapist who's an A.R.M.Y
The stage in which I am still single
This animator's style is awesome!
Love this style
Ive never got past the uforia phase and borderlined the second stage, but no relation ever went past that, hence Im single and never had a long or serious relationship :(
A lot of relationships end right as the second stage begins because reality does hit. I found this true when I was younger. People crave to constantly feel the euphoria...sometimes when the first stage ends, it feels as if the partner has fallen out of love with ya. Most of the time, one of the partners has moved onto the next stage, while the other still lags behind. This will cause a lot of conflict and misunderstanding that leads up to a break up.
I'm not sure if this helps at all...
But I wish you the best. You can do it. Remember communication is key. ❤
What do you think is holding you back?
Same here. For some reason I very rarely got the honeymoon butterflies but used to see relationships as work from the word go - but in a good way; opportunities to become more self-aware and support my partner in his work to do the same.
For me, my primary issue was unaddressed childhood conditioning of thinking it was somehow my job to carry the greater load in relationships that had me settling for unsuitable partners who weren't pulling their weight. Now that I've seen through it, know who I am, what I deserve and the kind of man I look forward to sharing myself with, I'm really looking forward (and hella nervous) to step into a whoooole new way of being in relationships.
About bloody time really. 😂😉
I don't have a partner, the guy I like is fictional lmao.
Also congrats on 2million! You deserve every subscriber :D
Me and my lover are in stage 5. I know him since 3 years and he loved me ever since. After few months its gonna be 4 years. Years of waiting and i finally said yes. He never forced me, he patiently waited for me and supported me through thick and thin. We've been together for few months now and he brings me so much pleasure and joy❤
Glad you said people may revisit stages for growth, I feel like that's just factual for everyone. We fluctuate between stages for growing at intervals in the relationship... I think lol.
DID SHE JUST SING EUPHORIA
stage 0: crushing on 12 fictional characters
I’m in the second stage, but me and my partner will never give up! 💜
This was great 👌
when you’re single and you still watch this
My girlfriend and I are at the first step... we still need to know each other better
I’m on stage 2 rn thanks physic2go!
I experience things a little differently since I'm asexual and value companionship over anything else, but I can still see how a lot of these have applied to my romantic dating. Just like in life as a whole, there are patterns of challenges, and overcoming, and it's in those challenges that you learn a lot about someone.
I think we're in stability or commitment. We just got through the big test.
How did you guys get through the big test?
@@Psych2go We just told each other how we felt and talked about how we'd improve things. Like I'd say, "I don't like it when you do this" and he would say, "okay, what can I do to make things better." You just have to be open minded sometimes and communicate. Now, we are doing really good with each other and are very happy!
We in the big test stage. I don’t wanna lose this one man. I’ve been hurt to much for that to happen
We are at stage 3 which is good but difficult. She is so great but always wants space but we have a pretty healthy relationship overall
