Why don’t people stay consistent? Specifically SO. Why do people always go the extra mile to swoon one another yet don’t keep it up once you’re in a committed relationship? My SO used to leave little notes, buy me random flowers or when I wasn’t feeling well, used to set an alarm to wake up and tell me bye even though he didn’t have to get up for a few more hours, and used to send me messages periodically throughout the day. 
Some background, we are 10months strong, he became store manager and I moved into his place a few weeks ago. He no longer leaves little notes, no flowers, and he doesn’t wake up anymore. In his defense he has been working long hours, and he’s broke (child support!!). However, those things made me feel important and special. As though I mattered. He still checks in with messages throughout the day, but it’s not the same as before. 
I know he loves me and he’s not losing interest or cheating. 
But why do people stop? Are we no longer worth the effort of those little things? 
Having a really emotional day, sorry in advance for the length and number of posts today.
