Why do long term relationships suck so much?

Question

I mean non-toxic relationships, I know very well why toxic ones suck.
Thoughts? Experiences?

Answer

Long term relationships should not suck. Stop normalizing that shit. Yes every relationship has difficult moments, but if the relationships sucks overall then it's time to end it.

Answer

Because you get comfortable. No more “trying” is needed. Things become routine and expected. You have to find ways to keep up the spark.

Answer

I just get tired of hearing his shit. He bitches and complains.

Answer

You must not be in a decent relationship if you have this opinion. 6 years and still honeymooning ✌🏽

Answer

I’ve been with my husband for 11 years now. We had our first date when I was 14. I’m now 25, we’ve been married for 3 years, and we’re TTC.
Like all relationships (new or established), we’re not perfect, but it absolutely does not suck. We argue, we get upset, but we always communicate, we respect each other, and of course we love each other. 
I’m much happier with him than I am without him.

Answer

Because you cannot have the physical connection. Touching each other, holding hands, kissing. Just being next to them in general. It just sucks.

Answer

My husband and I have been together for 5 years and we're each others best friend, and we have a lot of fun together.
Yeah the initial butterflies and thrill and the exciting "firsts" have to end but then you upgrade to a whole new level of great...
Its been the best thing to have a safe place, one person I can rely on to love me and have my back... 🤷‍♀️ Short term relationships can be tons of fun but I wouldn't trade the trust and intimacy and safety I have in my "sucky" long term relationship for the world.

Answer

We have our bumps, but I'd say it's no where near sucking
