When you look back on the romantic stories of your life, you realize and feel how different each experience was from the next. Some romances are short, others are boring. Some are characterized by great physical attraction, but are accompanied by equally great conflicts. Then there are those that are warm and durable. All these experiences teach us more about ourselves and help us grow, but at the same time we understand that there are several types of relationships and that among them there is one that is healthier than the others. 

You can find the 5 types of romance below. Which one are you experiencing (or would you like) for yourself?

1. Happy and independent

These couples are warm to each other, supportive and have low levels of negative interaction. Initially, it was thought that this type of relationship is most likely to end in marriage, but from the studies conducted, these couples usually do not combine their lives well. They do not spend most of their free time together, nor do they live with each other. Generally, it is the connections that happen during the school years.

2. Happy and consolidated

This is the most common type of relationship, and people in this group seemed to be just as happy as single couples. The difference lies in the combination of the couple's lives. This type generally live together and spend a lot of time with each other. They are more mature, older and the relationship is longer lasting.

3. Explorers 

Individuals who belong to this group are in the beginning of their relationship. They don't have much time together and the interaction between them is less positive than the first 2 groups. These couples are usually still thinking about whether or not they want to be 100% involved in the relationship. They are in the process of growing up and discovering what they want from a relationship and if it is the right one.

4. "Stuck" romance

They do not have a positive relationship nor are they satisfied with their relationships. Although they may have been together for a long time and have integrated their lives with each other, they do not expect to get married and consider themselves semi-separated. Their plans for the future are unclear and so are their decisions/strategies. They don't even know what they want or what they want to do, that's why they call themselves "stuck". 

5. High intensity romance

Kjo lidhje është miks i mbështetjes, ngrohtësisë dhe nivelit të ulët të ndërveprimit. Këto janë çifte që kanë kohë bashkë dhe janë të kënaqur me marrëdhënien, por ndarjet dhe rikthimet janë të vazhdueshme. Të tilla marrëdhënie nuk funksionojnë për këdo, por për disa çifte është romanca e duhur. 

Cila prej romancave është më pak e shëndetshme se të tjerat?

Lloji i parë që jep më pak kënaqësi në jetën personale është romanca ku ndihesh sikur "ke ngecur". Njerëzit e përfshirë në këtë lloj lidhje kanë shfaqur simptoma depresioni dhe më pak kënaqësi në jetë krahasuar me të tjerët. 

"High intensity" relationships are associated with symptoms of anxiety/depression in one partner, but the satisfaction they get from the relationship is greater. The other 2 types of romances, "independent and consolidated" were listed as the healthiest relationships for mental health and life as a whole. Knowing what you want and what you need is essential and sometimes when you get to understand this it means leaving a relationship in which you are "stuck" or a relationship that is "too intense and stressful" for you.
