Being in love is fun. But once the infatuation stage fades, those of us who want a long term relationship have to ascertain whether it’s actually a possibility. Realizing that you’re not compatible with someone deep into a situationship is pretty shitty, and it can be very easy to ignore our intuition when the sex is great or the fun is all that matters. It can take months, or even years, to be really honest about our feelings and break free from relationships that aren’t serving us anymore.
This happened to me once, and it led to a psychedelics-assisted moment of clarity. I had been dating someone for months when I decided to go on a solo mushroom trip in my bedroom, because we were all in quarantine and I was feeling depressed. That trip changed the course of that relationship.
