ENTITY shares what happens once the honeymoon phase over

The honeymoon phase of any relationship is arguably the best part of the relationship.

It’s the “butterflies in your stomach when they text you” feeling, the “constantly happy for no reason” feeling and the “he/she is the greatest thing to ever happen to me” feeling. True, playful bless.

Unfortunately, these feelings fade. After six months or so, the little quirks that used to be adorable and funny start to get annoying. And though it sounds terrible, it’s not all bad. Moving past the honeymoon phase just signals growth in the relationship.

Need proof? Here’s what seven Reddit users had to say about the time after all the rainbows and butterflies.

1. You fall more in love after the honeymoon phase. It’s great.

After the honeymoon phase you see if you really love the other person. Because in that phase, you think that girl is perfect and you love her for that. After that, you see every flaw she might have but you’ll love her even more, but in a different way.

“In my relationship, the honeymoon phase is years past, but [I’ve] never loved this girl more than I do now.”

2. The time after may even be better than the honeymoon phase.

“It’s better. The infatuation and the more ‘lovey-dovey’ stuff is toned down, but there is a deeper love and genuine appreciation for her.”

3. But sometimes the relationship can’t survive past the honeymoon phase.

“I [don’t know], they always leave me at that point.”

4. Other times, you still love them but you stop letting them get away with everything.

“I was still in love, but over putting up with her bullshit.”

5. You start to see the real them.

“I don’t think it’s possible to love her any less. I love her more and more, partly because I can see now that she’s flawed and she’s human.

“Anyways, being out of the honeymoon phase makes it easier to let loose and be human and not try to live up to thinking ‘I’m dating a perfect human I have to be perfect too.'”

6. You have to spend time working on the relationship together.

You reach new depths while being together and spending quality time [together]. It’s better but it forces you too look for that feeling together.”

7. You become a stronger team.

“It’s just different, you lose that excitement of a new relationship where you’re exploring each other and growing a relationship, but you gain companionship. We’re a team now. [It’s] like having another part of me that I didn’t know I needed to have and all my decisions are based on the ‘we’ over ‘I.'”

Once the honeymoon phase is over, you may have to work harder at keeping the romance and spark alive, but the love usually doesn’t fade. But if it does lead to the end of the relationship, then it probably just wasn’t meant to be. In that case, you’ll find someone else.
