Stop Overthinking Your Relationship Novels & Stories

"I learned to realize that to maintain a good and healthy relationship doesn't require you to talk 24 hours. It's vital to update each other, but it's also okay that you don't talk often." She was now glancing at me, smiling. "After all, we have our own businesses aside from being a girlfriend and a boyfriend. Let's just not normalize being stew-peded for letting ourselves revolve around someone. Think about the globe rotating in the axis not just for one country or continent, but for many." And that marks the end of our conversation. It's getting late so we have to go home because I, myself, have so much to do for tomorrow. My conversation with Julia and Magi helped. Somehow I felt better.

“Nikki, you let your feelings run wild while you were in a relationship, you probably think what you feel is love, but trust me, it isn’t. That is how the cycle begins. You will find someone else you will ‘fall in love’ with and drift to them and keep it going.” “Stop getting so bumped, nothing of that sort is going to happen. We weren’t even three months into this relationship, why are you making it seem like such a big deal?” I knew he had a solid point but if I didn’t speak so confidently, I would breakdown in front of him and that would be so embarrassing because his discussion about the cycle made me more anxious than should be normal.”

I knew she wanted to say something but thank goodness she didn’t. I was already tired enough. “Maybe I’ll just take a nap,” I murmured. “Like… one hour.” Sleep clearly hated me because it vanished too. I rolled over, grabbed my laptop, and started scrolling through absolutely useless things. Nothing made sense. Nothing held my attention. Then a thought slipped in and my fingers betrayed me. *How to stop your man from cheating in a long-distance relationship?* I froze. “What the hell?” I whispered, immediately deleting it. Did I really just type that?

“Of course you do. You dated him for how long?” “Two years.” “Exactly. You don’t just switch that off like a light.” I look down at the water, watching the way it distorts my reflection. “I keep replaying things. Conversations. Moments. Trying to figure out when it started.” “And?” “I don’t know.” I swallow slightly. “That’s the worst part.” Maya exhales, then gently bumps my shoulder. “Stop doing that to yourself.” “I can’t just stop thinking.” “You can stop overthinking.” She gives me a pointed look. “There’s a difference.”

She didn't even thought that it was necessary to converse with him before taking all the careless decisions . We put a lot of ourselves into our relationships, which is why the process of moving on from an ex can feel like it's taking an eternity.But like the relationship that ended, your phase of getting over the loss of that relationship won't last forever....

he trailed off “ don’t overthink everything…..it’s normal for couples to fight…” he tried to pacify her. “ no ... .see…this is what pisses me off….. Here I'm being serious and trying to figure it out but you….you’re just simply saying that I'm overthinking…..I'm not overthinking anything….” she paused to breathe. And continued “ this is how i feel…..i feel like there’s something off between us….let’s just give some time to this relationship…..let’s give some time to each other.
