Have you ever met someone who was very caring, attentive, romantic, and consistent at the beginning of a relationship, only for their behaviour to change months later?
The person who used to call you regularly now barely checks on you. The person who once made time for you now seems too busy. The affection that once came naturally now feels as though you have to beg for it.
Naturally, you begin asking yourself: What happened?
Some people believe that once a person feels secure in a relationship, they stop putting in the same effort they made when they were trying to win their partner over.
Others argue that the excitement of a new relationship naturally settles, and people become more comfortable expressing love differently.
There are also genuine reasons for change, including financial stress, work pressure, family responsibilities, emotional struggles, and unresolved disagreements.
But when does a normal change in behaviour become neglect?
Should partners be expected to maintain the same level of romance forever, or should love evolve into something more stable and mature?

Re: Why Do People Change After Getting Into a Relationship?
People change after getting into a relationship for different reasons. Sometimes, the relationship changes them; other times, the relationship simply reveals who they were all along.
You might meet someone who is loving, caring, attentive, and consistent when you're getting to know each other. They check on you, make time for you, communicate regularly, and make you feel special. But once the relationship becomes official, something changes. The calls become less frequent, the effort decreases, communication becomes difficult, and you start wondering what happened to the person you fell in love with.
The truth is that not everyone changes after getting into a relationship. Sometimes, their priorities, expectations, and true feelings become more visible.
