One year relationship

[HayBayBoo]

I've been with my boyfriend for over a year now and were still madly in love. But, sometimes I feel myself questioning the relationship or sometimes I feel like hes getting bored of me or something. The first few months we were in the honey moon stage and now I feel like the honey moon stage is over.We still text and call constatly and I always stay at his place but I feel like were reaching the one year hump. I kinda miss when he would text me cute texts he still does that but not as much. I kinda feel like were still in love but were unsure of our feelings sometimes. or maybe I'm only feeling this way. Is this a normal feeling for a one year relationship?

Wow. So I'm not the only one feeling like this? I'm at a year and 3 months? Bahaha. I can't evwn remember how long. (He's the chick of the relationship). I totally understand whats happening. But I've got an extra guy that I can choose that lives way closer. Its terrible. But anyway, I've always heard to try and remember what you felt in the first few months together if you wanna make it last.

You know what they say when you hit the first year its always the hardest. All I can say is if you truly love him then your just going over a bump. If your not on the other hand then maybe you should seriously reconsider.... Perhaps you should try talking to him about it?

It's actually normal to not feel as "in love" after a long period of time.
Your brain releases certain chemicals (such as serotonin, vasopressin and oxytocin) when you fall in love. These chemicals give you that special giddy feeling, sleeplessness, and are the reason why you can't stop thinking about that special someone.
However, these chemicals actually wear off, usually at about 18 months - 2 years down the track (but can last longer or shorter in some cases).
So what you're feeling may simply be just the physiological affect of the wearing out of these chemicals. It'll feel quite different, but just because those feelings are gone, it doesn't mean that you've stopped loving this person.
I suggest just completely evaluating your feelings for this person. Perhaps you should talk to him about this and make some plans on being more "sexy" in your relationship. Do something new, fun and exciting, go out and play with him, do something that you guys used to do in the beginning stages of your relationship.
You two may have just become too comfortable with each other - this is a good thing, but some people just go slack in this stage and don't try as hard in their relationship.
Maybe try to spice things up a bit. If things still aren't working out, and you feel that your loss of feelings for him is actually genuine, then I suppose THEN you should reconsider..
But TRY first, you never know
I hope this helped!

My relationship has gotten there, and we're hitting the two year mark next month.

I sat him down and talked to him about it. I told him that I missed all the cute things he did at the beginning, and I've haven't been the nicest to him so I've been trying to change my attitude and do more cute things for him and show more interest in his hobbies.

All you guys probably need is a special date or something to help you find your spark again.

Thanks! You guys were really big help. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels or ever felt this way before.
