xtremegirl Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 When does the "honeymoon phase" of a relationship start to die down? My boyfriend and I were ALL over each other in the beginning, we could do no wrong, no flaws seen, we would ditch whatever and whoever just to see each other. Now that we live together, we are still very affectionate and close. But the being "all over eachother" and ditching whoever is a thing of the past. I'm not complaining, just curious about that stage. We get on eachothers nerves now, and all that. I am just hoping the honeymoon phase is over, and not our relationship failing.
Sphere Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 There is no time limit, though I think it is important that it tones down as soon as possible and it's a good thing when it tones down, so you can determine whether or not the person you are in a relationship with is right for you. Good relationships take hard graft by both people. It's important that you aren't afraid to express your feelings to each other, it's important to disagree and have arguments and it's just as important to have alone time and time away from each other. It's called a happy medium and it's what I strive for in life. You're never left with too little or too much and you're never wanting more, your comfortable and comfortable people are happier people in my book.
counterman Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 I agree with Sphere. There is no set time for this "honeymoon phase". My friend commented the other day that he has had no argument with his girlfriend after being with her for months now. However, they weren't crazily over each other from the start and had been friends for years before getting together. I have also noticed that some people tend to trick themselves into believing everything is all sweet during the early stages. Always keep your emotions in check and make sure that things are actually going okay.
