For all you married baws, when would you say the honeymoon phase of your relationship/marriage ended? When did the negative aspects that all couples face start creeping in?

In other words, when did the fun times become less and less, and you and the significant other started facing challenges in the relationship?

Probably after 2 years or so. Definitely when kids enter the picture because your roles change so much.

But it’s still so wonderful.

It’s natural for everyone to go through that cycle. If you want to bring it back consider a hotwife lifestyle.

Kids. That’s the true test of how much you really love each other.

This should be a good thread.

My case was pretty unusual in that I deployed 2 days after we shotgunned our wedding. Came home for about 6 months, put a bun in the oven, and then deployed again. Had a baby boy when I got back.
We had rough times especially with me adjusting back to civilian life (if not dealing w/ some PTSD as well), but by and large it’s been a great 14 years.

Roughly a year after the wedding, when her struggles with excessive shopping and managing money came into play. Things are much better these days, thankfully. Having children will force you to pinch every penny.

The big jump is when you go from honeymoon over to crazy narcissist phase.

I'll tell you right now guys, no matter how different she acts dating and in the early years, she will always turn into her mother.

You may think she's going to be different but she ain't.

It's not all that bad to end this phase. You're in the circle together when you first get married. Most everything about the marriage is about the couple. When the Honeymoon phase ends you can leave the circle as a couple and then come back as individuals. This is gibberish I know but it makes sense if you've been there.

I might be in a boat without a lot of passengers, but 13 years in and my wife and I are best friends and get along great. She has her group of friends, I have mine, and we give each other the space to enjoy our own stuff. We also make time to go on dates and be a couple as well.

An old man told me something many years ago about how him and his wife made it to 50 years together. There’s days we don’t like each other, but we always make the decision to love each other. When you feel the spark fading, you have to put in the work with each other. Remind yourself how you felt the day you got married and find that again.
