Is Feeling This Way Normal?

i have been with my bf for a year and still feel that way, i still get butterflies and cant wait to kiss him when he walks in a room. I mean its not the same intensity of the first few months, but honestly that intesity isnt healthy, it makes you miss priorities, you're always wondering how that person feels. I like the feeling of being in a stable relationship and knowing you're the one for eachother.

I love babies. Toddlers get more difficult and not as sweet as babies in the cuddle sense, but there is something special with toddlers too. Same as kids age, that is why women get 'baby fever'.

I think that brand new passion is like baby fever. We miss that sweet newness, that excitement and discovery. But we have to embrace the changes and the tender moments and progression as the relationship grows and becomes deeper. Focus on enjoying the moment, and don't keep looking back. There is nothing back there but memories. And when you keep doing that, you miss the good stuff in the now and possibly throw away the special stuff in the future. It's all a matter of perspective.

However, even mature relationships can still be passionate and fulfilling. Keep up the dating and the fun. My husband and I have been together 10 years, we have plenty of monotonous moments and routines, but we are still madly in love and we are careful to nurture our relationship. It's when that invested time and care stops, when the whole thing becomes stale.

There is a natural chemical called Phenylethylamin that creates that feeling of infatuation, and it is addictive!!! 0.0!! In order to overcome this addiction you must remember that love is not the same as infatuation and those little things, such as how much you enjoy the time you spend together, or the way he talks to you, all the little things that help you fall and stay in love.

My mom always says that you have to love your partner(hubby, bf, etc) everyday, in a new way, exclusive to that day. and I personally think she is right.
I hope you find this helpful good luck ;)

Have you heard the phrase - love is a verb? Love is something you do, not just something you feel. Committment is deciding to stay and show love, give love, act lovingly, even when you aren't feeling it. The infautation doesn't go away forever, it just waxes and wanes. Sometimes you're consumed with firey passion, sometimes it's just the warm glow of affection, sometimes it's even cold but still, you show love and respect for each other. When you've lost that "loving feeling" look for the respect you have for him. Count your blessings and think how grateful you are to have him. Right thinking produces right actions. So, if you think you are lucky to have him and grateful, than you will treat him like you are lucky to have him.

It comes and goes, like a roller coaster :)

Some days I feel like we're stuck in a rut of our daily schedules, some days we're ripping each others clothes off like we've never seen each other naked before.

The passion ebbs and flows... create your own happiness, and it will be there more than if you wait to have it handed to you. Spice it up! Go get 'em :)

Well no matter what relationship you are in that feeling will ALWAYS wear off with time! And science has shown that this feeling is addictive to some people...like a true addiction in their brain. So watch out! Unless you want to spend your entire life bouncing from one relationship to another you should try to be more mature and appreciate other things about your relationship. I have been with my husband for 19 years and I have to say, being with someone for a very long time is AWESOME. :) Relationships have their ups and downs too - you will have bad years and good years (the 5-7 year itch is a well known bad time for a lot of people). You have to work on your relationship extra hard during those bad times.

Mmmmm...I've heard of this happening. I think it's referred to as a serial monogamist. That euphoria is a wonderful feeling!

Well, as far as staying in a relationship, it's just a matter of having a lot in common and enjoying each other's company. Do you want to settle down? If not, then it might be irrelevant. If so, just keep working on it. This answer might be over used, but counseling could help.

The truth is that infatuation does wear off.
Real love ebbs and flows, it comes and it goes, and it actually gets better the longer you're in it and understand that it changes.
I've had the privelege of knowing people who have celebrated 65th wedding anniversaries.
I am completely in awe of them.
To fall in love at an early age and commit to each other and their children and the families that ensue.
To never waiver in that commitment no matter what circumstance or old age brings.
I've had the privelege of witnessing the "seasons" of love.
The couples who can make it are the ones who can see the beauty in the changing of the seasons and not even consider going through them with anyone else no matter how rocky and stormy some of those seasons may be.

In my opinion, people who can happily stay together in the long run experience so much more than the "beginning" in love feelings.
EVERYBODY who has been in love feels those...
Few get to experience the other side.

My marriage didn't last and I think of things differently.
It's not about being in love. Been there and done that. I want someone there for the long haul.

That's just me.

Are you ADHD?

I have been with Troy for over two years and I still have that feeling. It is always there if you nurture it. We have hit the point where we fart in front of each other, sometimes a bad thing.....

I seriously ask about the ADD because for us the need for new and not boring or predictable is strong. It is then a matter of growing up and realizing that it takes actual work to keep it exciting.
