abby_tx Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 For reasons none of you probably want to read (if you do, I will add a comment. ha) the 6 month mark is a HUGE milestone for me. I'm sorta embarrassed by this fact, so I'll probably let the day go by like any other day. Do any of you celebrate this? Is it a big deal? Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 NEVER in the world would I celebrate a 6 month mark :-) Abby, wait till 1 year, at least it will mean something. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 If you are 16 sure, if you are an adult....no. I agree with Gaeta one year should be this important milestone. It's the end of the honeymoon stage, the infatuation phase. If you make it this far and in love with each other still, then it's worth celebrating. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author abby_tx Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Lol. Point taken. Also I hope the honeymoon stage never ends. We are stronger now than we were at 3 months. It's like honeymoon part 2. Link to post Share on other sites
Sunkissedpatio Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 No! Don't even celebrate a yearly anniversary unless married. Link to post Share on other sites
RecentChange Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It's the end of the honeymoon stage, the infatuation phase. If you make it this far and in love with each other still, then it's worth celebrating. Eh, I would say mine lasted more like 3-4 years! We were still totally googly eyed at that point. Lol. Point taken. Also I hope the honeymoon stage never ends. We are stronger now than we were at 3 months. It's like honeymoon part 2. Well, it WILL end, but that isn't a bad thing. There will be a time when things become comfortable, no longer electrifying. But love deepens, connections grow stronger, and you can still have a lot of fun. I would expect a relationship to feel stronger at six months rather than 3. A year in my husband and I were still in that infatuation "I can't believe how wonderful this is" phase. And right now, 15 years later. I have to say we are having a honeymoon round 2. It's Thursday morning, I am at work, but yet I can't wait to get out of here and spend the evening with my husband. We're gonna paint the town, and then most likely keep each other up all night (Who needs kids to make you sleep deprived when a healthy sex drive will do it!) 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Gaeta Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Lol. Point taken. Also I hope the honeymoon stage never ends. We are stronger now than we were at 3 months. It's like honeymoon part 2. The honeymoon doesn't have to end. BF and I have been dating 1 year and we are still very much in our honeymoon phase. Our 1 year dating is coming up first week of November and I don't intent of celebrating it. Who needs celebrations when every day with him is a celebration. Link to post Share on other sites
SammySammy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 No. I don't even consider it a relationship at six months. I'm still getting to know a person at that point. Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 We celebrate most of the time by going to the same restaurant where we had our first date. #27 is coming up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Author abby_tx Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 I love all of your stories! It's making my heart feel the feels. It's so wonderful knowing the love I want can exist. I'll most definitely be celebrating my one year with him if we get there far. Each month I even get excited when the date we used started talking comes up cause he's been such a wonderful addition to my life. I'm so lucky to have met him. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
kendahke Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Do any of you celebrate this? Is it a big deal? No and no. I may mention it, but that's as far as it goes. Link to post Share on other sites
babylonsfire Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 yeah 6 months is something you mention in passing, 1 year anniversary is kind of a nice dinner or something, I don't start thinking more of anniversaries until they get to 2-5 years. Link to post Share on other sites
hippychick3 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 We've been dating for over 3 years, and I think we are still in honeymoon stage. Still have that spark there. But, we do not celebrate anniversaries. We mention it and acknowledge it verbally but don't celebrate it. Link to post Share on other sites
SoThatHappened Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Why not celebrate it? Don't make a big deal out of it, but celebrate anything for crying out loud. A card, good meal, and romp in the sack make a good 6-month celebration. Link to post Share on other sites
Joga_31 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 No I don't but I definitely say happy 6-7 months to my girlfriend on the phone and once in awhile might do something different. But it not necessary to make it a big thing every month, I just remind her it has been so and so months and that I hope we can continue our journey of love haha I joke.

Bialy Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think it's okay to celebrate the six month mark in a low key way. A card with some nice words, a tasty meal at home, and together time. Don't go overboard. No expensive gifts. Link to post Share on other sites
basil67 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Save it for a one year anniversary. And have a wonderful time. Edited: I just read Bialy's comment: A very low key celebration is a nice idea. I'd possibly go out for a nice dinner. But I'm the kind who will use any excuse for a nice dinner out Link to post Share on other sites
