Why is it so hard to maintain a relationship

Tweet

When you start out in a relationship usually everything is great with that person. After 1 yr or 2 years things start going downhill, well at least for me it is. My boyfriend and I have been arguing about stupid things and we can't seem to get around them. I love him and want to be with him, but every time I try to talk to him, he either ignores me or changes the subject and acts like everything is ok. Have you had a similar experience? If so how did you get your spouse to listen and mend your relationsip?
