I don't feel head over hills for him anymore and often think about what it would be like to be with another man or single.. I guess what I'm wondering is if I'm maybe just with him cause its somfortable? Or does every relationship end up like this? Reply to this Question Share |

I wouldn't be too concerned as long as you still look forward to seeing him at the end of the day, although I wouldn't rush into marriage (even if the topic comes up) you could be taking yourself off the market too soon.

Love has many different stages, and it doesn't depend on age. I am 27, and my story is the same - 3 together, 2 live, and it's something different now. We are friends, lovers, sister and brother...we feel like family and take care of each other. But it's also true that you should now work on excitement in love. For example, go somewhere and do a break for 1 week, then when you meet it's again like at the beginning, or try to change, prepare surprises, make your love alive! Good luck!

Welcome to Phase Two of any relationship.
So what if you are not making love on the kitchen floor anymore. You still have respect for him and love the man he is turning into as well as the man he wants to be. A voracious spark is not always going to be there. Couples evolve into life partners solving their problems together as they march together them against the world. Do you think your mom and dad were on the kitchen floor 24/7 ? No, they had to take care of you which was full time. And I am sure the crazy spark wasnt there for them either but they grew as people and took care of the important things like raising you.
Don't force things. It only leads to disappointment. Just ride the wave where ever it takes you.
