New Relationship Energy NRE

Culture Sex Relationships - A podcast by Justin Hancock

Categories:

(We recorded this a few weeks ago - in a pub) This week on the podcast we unpack NRE: How it differs from a crush, what it closes down, and what it might open up - if we think about it differently. NRE refers to the kinds of excited, fizzy, loved-up, kiddy, somewhat obsessed, feelings we can have at the start of a relationship: usually a romantic and/or erotic relationship. It’s similar to the ‘honeymoon period’: the sense that the early days of a relationship might be particularly loving, romantic, passionate, and easy, compared to the rest. ‘Falling in love’ might capture something similar to NRE: the idea it is a crazy time of hot, rollercoaster emotions. Here's the excellent blog post for it https://megjohnandjustin.com/relationships/new-relationship-energy-nre/
