Honeymoon Period...how long is it?

angeldelight

I was just wondering about this, how long into a new relationship does the "honeymoon period" generally last? I know there's no fixed length of time and it's not the same for every relationship etc., I'm just curious for opinions. How long in is it before their little foibles get more irritating, you start having little arguments, not quite as fussed about meeting up with them...?

I was with my fella for 2 years before that started. It came all of a sudden out of nowhere!!

Sam Vimes

i've been with my gf 3 years and i still haven't reached the stage where i'm not bothered about meeting up with her. and i'm saying that 100% because she signed up to boards the other day* love you my darling



*her journey to the dark side is complete. evil laugh

its over when she farts infront of you for the first time.:D

Black Swan

Ever see the old film, Barefoot in the Park? They go in a hotel room for days and don't come up for air.

Thrill

When you leave that first fart you don't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about.

RoundyMooney

Five minutes after we met then.

Eh, never. If you're not that fussed, maybe they're not the right person?

I was with the missus Sparks for about 18 months before we even had an argusment, we couldn't understand what people argued about, we were 18 though.

It's called 'being on farting terms'

For me it was just over a year.

Hagar

What about the missing comma? As in "Honey, moon" ie show us yer bum.

Fizman

For me it was just about the 1 year mark, lots of little changes seemed to happen after that, although i think a lot has to do with both of your situations i.e. how often you both get to meet up....his/her social circles...college/work commitments etc

8 months 9 days 4 and a half hours. It's a fact!

BobTheBeat

2 and a half years, and we're still in the honeymoon period! I still get annoyed if we can't meet cause he's meeting friends or something! :mad: For me, I can't see him enough! At the moment, he's doing exams so I don't see him as much... It's torture!

There are some things he does that are annoying, and I tell him they are annoying and act all angry, but if he were to stop doing them, or he wasn't there to do them, i'd be wishing for them!

It's different for all couples, but i reckon if you're with the person who's right for you, it feels like it lasts forever

I think this sums up women perfectly to be honest.

Nightwish

If the honeymoon perod ends at your first argument, then for myself and the other half, it ended after a month. He has always farted in front of me, even before we got together

Gaspode

for me its 22 years, 3 months and 19 days. Which just happens to be next thursday, so watch out Mrs DeSwal!!

Dutchology

So far - together almost 7 months, engaged for 4 of them, and still in the "honeymoon" period

CathyMoran

Thats nice, you're lucky

For me, I think the 'honeymoon period' ends after a year or so cos you get to know the other person well, you know all their 'quirks' and things and they become very familiar to you.

GerryRyan

One year down the road - we haven't even had an arguement yet, tiny disagreements maybe, but settled quickly.
"not quite as fussed about meeting up with them" can't see this happening any time soon.

The honeymoon period is as long as you make it yourselves. Its up to the individuals to keep it fresh
