It's like a series of hills.

First you're just cruising downhill having fun for the first couple of years.
Then you reach that valley and have to start really working to support it - those annoying things your partner has always done become more prominent and you start to get kind of tired.
If you can push that boulder up the hill then it becomes more comfortable again. The view is different on this side of this second hill but it's still pleasant to look at.

Maybe having kids changes the landscape, idk since I've been married over 10 years and we don't have children yet.

Haha for sure weve discovered things the other does that drive us crazy. Weve gotten really good at fixing them though, or getting used to them.
Not saying its a walk in the park, weve been through some crap, especially during the first and second year since my grandpa got sick, then passed away and Pounce was very much so my support and even took care of him. Then add my mother and her tantrums on top of all that... yeah.
After 8 years of LDR we enjoy each others company a lot. I know some people joke that lockdown was hell for some married couples but we enjoyed spending the entire day together.
