Is it natural to feel this way?I've been with my bf almost 2 years now, but our relationship isnt as wonderful as when it started out. we used to absolutely adore the time we spent together, but now we fight a little more. it seems we have just settled down into more of a routine, rather than taking things as it comes.is it normal to, after some time in a relationship, not feel as 'loved up' as when it first started?is there something wrong with us?thank you :] Reply to this Question

 Nothing wrong at all. But maybe, just maybe, you both need to experience being with other people. You might be getting on each others nerves a little, which is why you are having the niggly arguments?

It's now that the honeymoon period finishes and you find out whether you are really compatible. Relationships are always evolving and changing - this is a new period in yours. It's absolutely unavoidable, and should be addressed. If you can compromise and forgive when you have fights, you can move on from them, not focus on them and still enjoy your relationship. If you get caught up in petty bickering that is taking over your relationship and you don't have any good times left, it's time to move on. Just take it one day at a time; appreciate that it's a new situation for you both, and try to establish over the next few weeks where your relationship can go from here.
