Mermaid, call me cynical, but I think people get into trouble when they are expecting that “IN LOVE” (infatuation) feeling to last. Feelings ebb and flow in a relationship and it’s been my experience that you’re not going to see fireworks every time you kiss your partner until the end of time. That initial honeymoon phase is wonderful to experience, but once it passes your relationship can deepen into something really special, meaningful and lasting.
I read your other post and I agree with the responses there – you’ve experienced so much change recently that I think anyone would feel unsettled in your position. Allow time for the dust to settle. I think it’s easy when we are feeling down or not “serene within” to look outside ourselves for fixes. If I don’t feel right, maybe it’s because of my relationship, or my job, or my house, etc. But finding peace is an inside job. You haven’t shared any specifics about what gives you doubt in your relationship, so aside from recommending you keep open communication with your beau, my only thought is to focus on what makes YOU happy. Enjoy your hobbies, spend time with friends, find your place in your new world.
