I'll try to keep this as short and simple as I can. I met my boyfriend through work last summer and we have been together for a little over 7 months now. Our relationship is going wonderfully. He is 9 years older than me but the age difference hasn't been a problem at all. We get along so well and it's just keeps getting better and better. We have never fought or argued and I think it's mainly because we are both easy going people and don't like to argue over things that don't matter and maybe because there is nothing to argue over that does matter so it just doesn't happen.
It was about 5 months into the relationship that we went to go spend Easter with his parents. We stayed at their home for two weeks, being in constant contact 24/7 and not once did we get annoyed with each other or get sick of each other (and I'm one of those people who enjoys their alone time alot). While driving home after our little vacation we had a good long talk about how we feel about each other. When we got back we sat in the car and he told me he loved me for the first time and I said it back with tears in my eyes. It might be too early to say but I feel (and he agrees with me) that we will be together for good, that I have found that one special someone to spend my life with.
My friends and family tell us how good we are together but some also say "Oh, just wait until the honeymoon stage is over with. Everything won't stay perfect forever." I've never been in a relationship for this long so I don't know if there is such a thing and if it does end like they say it does. Is this too good to be true? |

Find out for yourself, I don't know either of you, but I do know, I don't listen to anyone, mainly my friends and family who just don't like my boyfriend of 3 years because he doesn't socialize with them as much as they would like. He was brought up totally different than I was, so it makes sense to me.
But if you are truly happy, then give it a shot. You never know until you try. |

I have been with my partner for 5 yrs. I moved in with him after 2 weeks and we have never had a full on arguement (and we have 2 kids). It is different for everyone. I don't think things are ever perfect even in the beginning, its just that we see the world through rose coloured glasses. I think stay positive.
If you haven't already though maybe have a talk with each other about your personal hopes and dreams for the future. may give more of a hint of whether its too good to be true. |

My bf is 5 years older then me. We have been together for almost 4 years and my family and friends said the exact same thing.
The fact that he is still the same person I met 4 years ago, just goes to show that the "honeymoon stage" never has to end. If you both work at it and everything is great, then why should it?
When we announced our engagement, my mother was over the moon.
She tells me all the time that im lucky, lucky that my "honeymoon stage." happens to be my "honeymoon life".
Maybe it's just different for everyone? |

Great to hear so much positivity! Good for you ladies. I am a guy and I've been married for 22 years. I was crazy about my wife the day we met and I've been crazy about her ever since. Our first 15 years of marriage were like they were written from a fairy-tale book. They were awesome. The next couple of years were rough. I didn't know if we would make it through or not. We did and everything is pretty much back to the way it was long ago. My point is that if you have a relationship like this (total bliss, thrilled and madly in love with eachother) then you have a CHANCE that you'll have a great long-term relationship! Treasure it, respect it and work on it!
Cheers. |
