How fulfilled are you supposed to be in a long term relationship?

Question

My relationship is only 10 months... and it's not a bad relationship... but it feels like the honeymoon phase is over already, and I've never gotten this far in a relationship... 
I just want to know what I'm supposed to do in a relationship to make it better, or how fulfilled and satisfied I should be? I know I need to fulfill myself or whatever, but how much is my partner supposed to meet my needs?
My partner is so kind and he isn't doing anything wrong... I think personality differences are starting to make me feel like this relationship is "just ok" across the board- even though there are good things...
Help? :(

Answer

I've been with my husband over four years now. The honeymoon phase has to end at some point but I still miss my husband when he's not with me. I am still excited when he gets home from work. I still want to do everything with him. If you still feel like that then you should just talk to him and tell him what you need. More dates or more time just doing nothing together. If you need him to pay more attention to you then just tell him that. Communication is the only way to make it work.

Answer

Have a talk with your partner about feeling unfulfilled. Listen Honeymoon phases always end at some point. Ive been with my bf (recently made fiance) for 2 years and some change and after the first year things weren't the same lovey dovey like you see in the movies. It happens to us all but communication is key. Do you guys find time to have date nights to just talk about what you want out of life and the future. Have fun together dont let things become a routine cuz that leaves room for questioning how things should be. Real love and relationships isn't like the movies where you think you will be all over each other and constantly on the same page, it takes work. Only advice I can think is do date nights, communicate your feelings and see what you can do to bring more spark and fun into the relationship even if its like weekly date days or nights, or even just talking on the phone if you dont live together.
