Scariest Part of a Relationship?

Ending the relationship, as it can come in many forms, being dumped, dumping your partner, you or your partner dying or having an illness capable to destroying the relationship, and other less clichéd situations.

The confession. Telling someone you care about that you like them. The thought of them not wanting to be friends with you anymore if they reject you and losing them is frankly terrifying.

For me it’s always not knowing if they care the same about me or if they’re just in it for fun. It really sucks getting invested in someone only to find out feelings aren’t really mutual

Starting is not a problem anymore. Ending is heartbreaking of course. I'd say being in the relationship is the scariest part. It's when you kind of feel for each other if you're truly a match.

Trying to start one methinks, so many unknown variables at that point. Plus you may end up wasting a fuck ton of time on one person. The wasting time factor gets even worse once you're in one and the ending part is felt similarly to the trying to start one part for me. That and you realize all the time you've wasted once it ends.

I'd say at first the relationship ending it the scary thing, but after a few break ups (depends on who you are)...starting one can become just as scary as losing it.

3. If it has signs of ending and all the love, effort, and time put into trying to make this work goes down the drain along with the shattered pieces of your heart. Pain and the wondering of what went wrong does not go away easily.

The thought that perhaps the person your with who you are very much so in love with could possibly leave and replace you with someone else that is more ' Beautiful or better then you '. I don't know it scares me especially if you still love the person sounds painful.

I would have to say starting the relationship. You have all the anxiety and worry about the unknowns of the possible relationship. Maintainig a relationship while it isn't easy still has a sense of familiarity to it. When it comes to ending it usually people have a feeling when it is over. Lover becomes distant, spend less time etc. There are signs. The heartbreak while immense is normal for people to heal and move on.
