Novelty is defined as the quality of being new and/or original. Similar to the rush of excitement one feels when purchasing a new item, getting into a new relationship can have that same effect. The mind will perceive the new item/person as better than the previous thing, simply due to its novelty; but what happens when the newness wears off? Are we in a rush to end relationships out of the urge to have someone new? Do we avoid intimacy for the fear of our connections going stale? Is the grass ever greener on the other side? Why or why not?
