I'm having problems with my relationships

When I'm in a romantic relationship exclusively with someone, I easily get bored with them, I only get excited the first 3 months or so. But when we were still crushes and is in the "getting to know" phase , I'll be excited when I'm with them even after 3 years.

Do anyone have similar problems?

It’s the same reason that those of us with adhd have a hard time finishing projects. Our attention is peaked when we are excited and serotonin/dopamine is rushing in our in brains then it becomes mundane and we lose interest. I can tell you it won’t be as exciting and interesting 3-5-10 years into a relationship but not everything will/should be exciting all the time.
