Hey everyone,

I may sound a litle paranoid or probably worrying for no reason!

Let me just give u an insight

I'm dating this guy for 2 months now and things are just perfect to the point I think its a fairytale,he loves me,cares for me,looks out for me..I cldnt ask for more,I feel priveledged!but sometimes I think is this a 'honeymoon' phase,what if it fades off?what if he isn't as attracted to me,or doesn't put in that much of an effort anymore!I don't think I'l be able to handle it..so here I am asking couples who have been in relationships lasting for years,how was it after the 'honeymoon' phase,does it get better or worse?

For me, a lot of my relationships ended after the honeymoon phase when I was young.

I learnt that, it generally happens 6 - 24 months in....different for different people. I finally learnt for my most recent relationship, that at that stage, we needed to talk, communicate, and not walk away. We wondered what was happening, and we talked about it. I felt sad that it was sort of finished, but we moved into a new stage. We really started to really love each other. We were no longer on cloud 9, but a deep attachment has grown.

We started to build a history together. We started to know eachother more intimately. It is different, not as exciting, and you start to focus on other things than just thinking about eachother all day. But for me, it is better. I am more relaxed, calm, and less fearful.

Feelings may change slightly, but in a better way. How you treat eachother once the honeymoon phase wears off, is totally up to you both. Talk about it now.. tell him you adore everything about him and you don't want him to ever change.

It does fade for most people and that's how it goes and that's why people have affairs! However enjoy your romance and who is to say it won't last like it is now for many a long year! All the best.
