I hate that I can never get out of the “honeymoon period”
I’ve been together with my partner for a year now and he seems to have been done with the so-called “honeymoon phase” for a while now.
He doesn’t reply instantly to my texts anymore, doesn’t need to hang out as often, and the lovey-dovey messages have decreased.
Don’t get me wrong though! I totally understand that it can’t last forever and that people have their own lives, and I know he loves me.
But hot damn why does this period never seem to end for me? I still get excited when he texts or calls me, I still love seeing him as much as I can, and I like to send him cute messages or pictures that made me think of us.
Even with my ex, it lasted for years FOR ME until he treated me like crap and we broke up.
I just wish I was more normal when it came to this. It just sucks to feel like I’m caring more even though I know it’s not true but it’s just different now.
I have hobbies and friends to keep me busy, but it’s just not enough. I wish I could just turn it off and be more chill as well.
