My current partner and myself hardly fight, we have had very very minor arguments which quickly resolve and I see that as a good sign because we have open communication and don't allow things to build up, however sometimes she mentions that is a problem as she has not seen how our relationship fares when we fight. My philosophy is that fighting is unnecessary between two mature individuals who can hash out differences in a more civil way, she is not so sure and thinks fighting is inevitable.
In past relationships I have had big fights, have learned why they happened and I now work hard for things not to escalate to that stage because in my opinion fighting sucks. Some people say it strengthens the relationship when you fight and make up but I have never had that experience.
i know several people who are married for many years and NEVER fight.
It depends on the individuals and their chemistry between each other. Some NEED fights, some don't. Some had fights in the past relationships and learned from it. Some don't.
I would suggest your gf reads up on the topic, google is your friend.

Your current girlfriend? The one that makes you feel bad about yourself?

LOL! Yes, that one. I do not fight about it because she says she is being patient for the problem to resolve and I guess I should be lucky that she is not bailing and sticking around?
I feel like the honeymoon phase ends when the relationship no longer feels "exciting" or "fresh" like it once did. You can almost FEEL the change go from that excitement to a new level of comfort that's maybe not as exciting. I don't think this is a bad thing; in fact, I think it's a change that takes the relationship to a new, BETTER level.
And it was at that palpable change that my boyfriend broke up with me.
Does everyone have wild, passionate, break all the kitchenware, rip clothes off, 24x7, 4 hour marathon sex during the honeymoon phase like they show in the movies? Does anyone actually "only" have sex 1-2 times a week in tje initial phase?

Well, a relationship should make you happy. You don't seem very happy to me.

Well, that's how my honeymoon phases were. We only got to the 1-2 times a week phase once other things were introduced - dog, kids, etc.

LH and I didn't fight either. We had disagreements we resolved before they got out of hand. To be honest, I don't know how healthy that really is.
I find that the "honeymoon phase" typically lasts about 6 months. After that, the couple tends to "come up for air" - they are settling into a routine and they remember they have friends and realize they can't remember the last time they saw them so they start spending time with them again. The relationship is secure at this point, so they are okay with a little bit of space.
Honey, the honeymoon phase does not have to end at any certain time. My ex and I were married for 10 years, and everyone would say,I cant believe that you two still seem to be on your honeymoon phase.
We loved each other and it showed! years and years later. no time frame.

... and then what happened?
