organizedchaos Posted June 6, 2015 Posted June 6, 2015 I been with my boyfriend for 4 months now. Would you say we still in the honeymoon stage? Just curious. I'm just bored Nearly a year in to my relationship and the honeymoon phase is clearly not over. We are so excited to see each other every time we get together and the sex has not tapered off at all. Your mileage may vary.
Author nyny123 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 This. My relationship isn't too far out of the honeymoon phase and the difference is kind of hard to explain. I don't get the butterflies every time I see him (which is every day) and I don't feel the need to constantly jump him or make out with him every time we put a movie on like we use to. BUT at the end of the day, he's the one I want to come home to - share my day, share my life, run errands with, hold me when I'm sad. It is actually a much more satisfying relationship. I will say the transition is hard. I worried that we were getting "stale" or bored, as it was just so different, but then I realized that it was just a different stage of the relationship. This how I felt I was worried about the same thing. I feel the excitement is kinda wearing off but at the same time I still get those butterflies when we text, talk on the phone and when we see each other.

Daisy-oliviaWentcher Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Question: do you guys think moving in together too soon makes the honeymoon phase end quicker? It's possible. My best friend got married, they hadn't lived together before hand or had sex before hand. They were having loads of sex often and the chemistry went through the roof as soon as they got married, but then after the reality of living together and being married settled in, she started noticing that "chemistry" had tapered off and they were left to really getting to know one another. It's not a bad thing, their love has definitely changed in a year but they still love each other for sure!
ColdandLonelyinAK Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 I ask because people always say you never truly know someone until you've lived with them. My ex never officially "moved in", but kept staying the night and sort of gradually moved his stuff in as he needed it. We were good for about nine months, and then he wanted to go out more and we sort of drifted apart. I also started to resent him because he didn't do anything around the house. He EXPECTED me to do it. Said its a woman's place.

We were good for about nine months, and then he wanted to go out more and we sort of drifted apart. I also started to resent him because he didn't do anything around the house. He EXPECTED me to do it. Said its a woman's place. That is pretty much true. To really know someone you need to get to know their personal habits when it is just you and them and they feel totally safe to do and say whatever. i.e. your ex would not dare say "it's a womans place" in most company in the western world. If you move to fast the relationship will break apart 9/10 times.
