Because, as the couples therapist Roland Weber has found out, love always goes through the same five phases in a relationship.

Because, as the couples therapist Roland Weber has found out, love always goes through the same five phases in a relationship. No matter if we are young or old, party tiger or relationship person. None of the phases can be skipped, and their order cannot be changed either. And only in the last phase do we know whether we have actually found the love of our life.

Phase 1: The rose-colored glasses

The first time is the best, many remember the first few weeks or months of their relationship. The butterflies in your stomach flutter for all you can think of. And the partner just seems to be perfect. Error? He doesn’t have any! And if so, then they are irrelevant. The only thing that counts now is to spend as much time as possible with the lady of the heart or the dream prince. This is roughly how the first phase of being in love feels, which usually lasts three months to one and a half years. No question: the phase of being in love is wonderful. But it is not permanent.

Phase 2: Goodbye, you butterflies

And before we know it, the butterflies have flown out. Wherever they now circulate – at least not in our stomachs. Welcome to the second phase of love. Now it falls like scales from our eyes: the partner is not perfect after all. As if they hadn’t existed before, we gradually notice properties and behaviors that we don’t like at all. For the first time we see not only what connects us, but also what could stand in the way of a happy relationship. And often we don’t skimp on criticism. No wonder many relationships break up during this phase.

Phase 3: should I break up?

Many, but of course not all! Because then there are those brave ones who dare to go through the second phase. Who start by accepting the partner for who he is and willing to compromise. And they are rewarded for this. But not immediately. So it says in the third phase: The fighting games are on. Now the limits are really being tested for the first time. Nobody wants to give in, everyone has the last word, while we slowly but surely reject the thesis that this time we really got to the right person. We keep asking ourselves: should I break up?

Phase 4: THAT is my partner

The worst is over. Slowly but surely, peace is returning. The good thing about it: At least now we know what makes the partner tick. And we accept it for who it is – with all its strengths and weaknesses. At the same time, we focus more on ourselves again: our own personality development comes to the fore. It is important to find the right balance – between the I and the we. Because from now on there must be space for both.

Phase 5: I have arrived

Anyone who was convinced that the first phase of being in love was the most beautiful will change their mind once they have entered phase five.123helpme Here the partners live and experience a deep familiarity and connection. Finally you can take off the last mask. You show yourself how you are – and are accepted. In addition, one now not only knows the strengths and weaknesses of the partner, but also knows how to deal with them. You feel at home with your partner. And together you set new common goals.

Not necessarily. Some also cheat. I think that if the relationship no longer fits, you should break up and not look elsewhere. It is definitely more decent and honest.

Every love is unique! And yet we are much more like other couples than we think. Because, as the couples therapist Roland Weber has found out, love always goes through the same five phases in a relationship. No matter if we are young or old, party tiger or relationship person.

At the end of May, the cell phone ban on driving will be massively tightened – it is no longer just making phone calls that is prohibited, but all types of cell phone use. Anyone caught pays a fine of 50 euros. The National Council decided on Thursday. What are you still allowed to do at the wheel? We took a look at what it looks like with smoking, flip-flops and television.

More and more accidents can be traced back to distracted drivers – this is how Transport Minister Gerald Klug (SPÖ) justified a government proposal on Thursday that significantly tightened the “mobile phone ban” at the wheel. Telephoning without a hands-free facility has been banned in Austria since 1999. Since then, the use of cell phones has changed massively. Retrieving e-mails, writing WhatsApp messages, tweeting and facebooking: All of this distracts from the traffic, but was still allowed up to now. Now “any other use of the mobile phone” while driving is also made a criminal offense.

The government’s proposal was approved by all parties with the exception of the Greens (the regulation did not go far enough for them). It will come into force after the amendment has been announced, probably at the end of May. Anyone who is caught with a cell phone in hand pays a fine of 50 euros. The only exception is the use of a fixed mobile phone as a navigation system. But are all sources of danger “eliminated”? We looked at what is still allowed to drive a car. It turns out that little is really forbidden. However, if an accident occurs because of unnecessary sideline activities, you cannot count on the insurance.

Smoke?

Smoking behind the wheel is not currently prohibited here. However, the ÖAMTC motorists’ club still advises not to use cigarettes while driving. The risk is often underestimated. Removing, lighting and scraping off the ashes result in unsafe steering wheel guidance. And it gets really “sticky” when the cigarette falls down while driving and the handlebars reflexively bends over to do so. If an accident occurs like this, the insurance can also refuse the benefit, as already stated in a landmark judgment.

In addition, the smoke and the dirt on the windows would impair visibility, warns the ÖAMTC. And consideration should also be given to children traveling with you. The motorists’ club recommends taking a break from driving every now and then and then smoking. A ban is rejected by the ÖAMTC anyway.

Wearing flip flops?

With the summer, there is another source of danger when steering: unsuitable footwear. On the way home from the swimming pool, many like to keep their flip-flops on. High heels and rather chunky shoes such as mountain boots are just as dangerous. With bathing shoes, the pedal can get tangled between the shoe and the foot. With high heels you have no grip on the heel, and with very heavy shoes you have no feeling for the pedals at all.

But also which shoes you have to wear is not explicitly regulated in the Motor Vehicle Act. So even flip-flops are not directly prohibited. However, the following also applies here: If something happens, the liability insurance can, under certain circumstances, invoke gross negligence on the part of the insured and refuse to pay. Criminal law consequences are also conceivable in the event of an accident. The ÖAMTC recommends closed shoes made of solid material with a flat, thin rubber sole.

Watch TV?

It is very similar with television in the car. This is becoming more and more popular, whether on the navigation screen or on extra displays, but of course it is an enormous distraction for the driver. Manufacturers strictly emphasize that their car TVs are only intended for passengers or parked vehicles. But if you look at the children on a long journey, it can quickly happen that the parent behind the wheel risks a look.

If it can be proven that this has resulted in an accident, the insurance will usually not cover any damage. The case is basically the same as other distracting sideline activities. Overall, it can be seen that anyone who really thinks they can cope with distractions while driving is only restricted by law in rare cases (cell phone). But it is definitely not recommended.

I often see even our dear executive behind the wheel with a cell phone or a cigarette in his mouth. So if it doesn’t even work here, why then with the population ??? You are just as distracted by co-drivers, no one is allowed to go along now ?! Everyone should decide for themselves whether cell phone, cigarette etc. at the wheel, when what should happen you are liable anyway!

What use is the strictest law if it is not controlled? I even see bus drivers again and again driving with their mobile phones to their ears, even though a lot of people are sitting in the vehicle. The report to the bus company only brought reassuring answers: Car drivers apparently cannot operate the vehicle without a cell phone.
