When you develop an infatuation for someone you always find a reason to believe that this is exactly the person for you. It doesn't need to be a good reason. Taking photographs of the night sky, for example. Now, in the long run, that's just the kind of dumb, irritating habit that would cause you to split up. But in the haze of infatuation, it's just what you've been searching for all these years.
Infatuation often leads people to idealize their partners, finding seemingly meaningful connections in trivial traits or habits. The excitement of new love can make even the most mundane actions appear significant, as one becomes enamored with every detail about the other person. For example, someone might justify their attraction based on shared interests, like taking photographs of the night sky, even if those traits don’t hold up under scrutiny later on.
However, this intense passion may not necessarily last. What initially seems enchanting can later be viewed as annoying or unimportant, ultimately contributing to a relationship's demise. In the experience of infatuation, individuals overlook potential flaws and focus solely on the positives, often leading to unrealistic expectations and disappointment when the initial spark fades.
