reader, anonymous, writes (18 September 2007): For me, it lasted about 7 years. I married her after 2 years. Then, it faded into hopes of finding it with someone else. So, I divorced her, found a new woman, and then realized that the grass WASN'T greener on the other side of the fence. I am still married to the wrong woman, and the woman that I have truly love is with someone else. I don't have those "loving feelings" for the woman I am with...however, I DO have those feeling for my one true love. I am still infatuated by her. I only see her once in a while now, and when I do, I am madly, deeply and passionately in love with her. It has been 23 years of loving someone. The "feeling" of love will fade. However, that comforting, respectful love is what you need to strive for. Find one person...love them forever, and NEVER loose the respect. If you do that, it will last a lifetime.
Good luck!

I really think it depends on who you're with. for example i was with this guy for about 3 weeks and i'd had enough. However, Once i finally got rid of him (that's another story...) I met the guy of my dreams and i've been with him ever since.
The special thing about our relationship is that even after 3.5 years we're still in the "honeymoon" period. But I've gotta say that the length of the honeymoon period really depends on what you think defines this period. To me the honeymoon period is the time when you can't stop thinkin bout him, missin him and you get that feeling in you stomach everytime you see him, talk to him or get a text from him. imo the HP can last forever if you're with the right guy.

Really it depends on you, him, and how often you see eachother.

reader, anonymous, writes (10 September 2007): I agree with Penta. It really depends on the couple. It's actually just the 'infatuation' phase and it's a lot of fun isn't it. However, many people mistake this phase for genuine love. It's not. This is simply the phase that brings people together and it gives the relationship the kickstart it needs to get over obstacles and develop the relationship into a wonderful, deep long term relationship. Eventually, it is normal for those beginning infatuation feelings to fade and then we relax, we become our true selves a bit more, we have confidence in the relationship...and that's the time..then we 'commit' to truely loving that person we are with. If you are in this phase...enjoy it but nothing compares to the committed, loving phase where you can relax and just be content enough to just bask in the love and the feeling of total acceptance for being totally who we truely are

 Depends on the persons involved. I noticed a pattern in my relationships: after 2 months I was either ready to move on to the next guy or in love (usually ready to move on). So for me, I think the infatuation stage was 2 months. I only had a few relationships that lasted longer than that, and for those the "honeymoon" period lasted much longer (but different lengths for each). My guess is that the period was different because the guy was different.Why do you ask?
