But I just feel like I don’t smile as hard as I used to. I’ve been with my partner for five years now, we live together. This was how I felt last night. Relationships can’t sustain the “the sun rises and sets on her, I want to do things for her and be with her all the time” feelings that one has at the start of the relationship. My partner doesn’t make me smile all the time. That’s not a realistic expectation. It’s also not his job. My happiness doesn’t come from my relationship. You are moving from the infatuation that you felt at the beginning of the relationship to settle into a more comfortable, more realistic relationship. The feelings are more familiar, less intense. But when you are young and your decisions are driven by hormones, this would make you think that something is wrong and you should break up. I understand that. If you want advice on how to be in a more mature relationship, I would say don’t throw away a good relationship for this. Rather, think about what you can do to find the joy in your relationship again. What can you do to appreciate your partner. That’s where the work begins, and where the true love starts... Edited to add - don’t ever put your hands on a woman that way. If there is one thing you learn here know that this is not ok. Edited April 17, 2021 by BaileyB
mark clemson Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 If you are ultimately looking for a LTR, but have lost feelings after only 5 months you're probably either incompatible or just "not that into each other".

Or, you are 15 years old... Five months is a long term relationship when you are 15 years old. OP, I’ve just noticed that this is your third thread in the past month asking the same question. I think maybe you need to end this and date someone else. Having different experiences will help you to learn more about relationships. That’s ok. Edited April 17, 2021 by BaileyB 1

That said, I have at least 8 friends who married the people they were dating when they were 15 years old... So, it is possible to find happiness with your high school sweetheart!
mark clemson Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 (edited) ^^ yep, I've known a few like that as well (got together as teens, not 15 specifically). Edited April 17, 2021 by mark clemson
SaraSays Posted April 19, 2021 Posted April 19, 2021 No mention of her character, nor personality traits, only her appearance, which comes across as if you only value what's superficial. Have you noticed her character? If so, what's she like as a humn and partner?
