Yes my boyfriend! No we arent engaged yet, even though we might as well be. BUT after being in a horrible relationship for 4 years and being engaged, I broke up with my ex and met the guy I am with now. We took things super slow when we started dating and didn't officially become boyfriend and girlfriend until almost 6 months later. We didnt tell each other that we loved each other until we had been boyfriend and girlfriend for 7 months. I know that he is the one and I love him so much. We have had our ups and downs but we have a great relationship and he brings out the best in me!

The Three Stages of Love
Navigating Your Journey to a Fulfilling Relationship
By Suzanne E. Harrill
Love grows and changes. The heady emotional brew that brings couples together in the first place is very different from the love that emerges five or fifteen years down the road. Love relationships go through three stages. All are important and none can be circumvented if love is to flourish.
Stage 1: Romantic Love
Love relationships usually begin with a strong physical and emotional attraction that produces a somewhat altered state of consciousness. Your brain is saturated with chemicals called endorphins, creating the sensations of intense pleasure that accompany infatuation. The exhilaration and sense of well-being are similar to feelings produced by vigorous exercise or eating something extremely pleasurable, like chocolate.
In this highly charged emotional state, you are apt to project images, expectations and ideals of the perfect mate onto your partner. These projections often have little to do with who your partner really is, but it's hard to tell because both of you are on your best behavior. Reeling with romance and passion, you and your partner are highly responsive to each other.
Stage 2: Power Struggles
As infatuation and romantic love subside, healthy relationships go through a period of continuing power struggles. During this stage, each partner tries to mold the other into the ideal mate. As part of this process, many couples bicker and fight. Some launch a “cold war” and start avoiding sensitive areas of conflict. If neither you nor your partner is ready to risk confrontation, your lives are likely to become more and more separate and devoid of intimacy and sharing. Even though you avoid open conflict, agreeing at some level not to argue and fight, the tension and pain remain.
Some couples use guilt and blame to try to control each other in an effort to recapture feelings associated with the earliest stage of their relationship. Both long for that period of infatuation when being together was new and exciting. If that sounds like you, remember that it’s normal to fall out of romantic love and to experience conflict. Furthermore, confrontation is healthy. It builds understanding. Learning to confront at this stage helps your relationship mature. The challenge is to discover what can be changed in the relationship and what must be accepted.
Stage 3: Unconditional Acceptance
In its third stage, a healthy relationship moves beyond power struggles and control issues to unconditional love and acceptance. However, during the transition from stage two to stage three, partners must still confront and resolve issues in the relationship, taking risks to make positive change wherever possible and accepting those conditions that cannot be changed. Even in stage three, it is healthy to discuss anything that upsets you. Differences are approached positively, not as things to brush over, hide or suppress.
At this stage, each person becomes highly aware of various traits in the other. Some you like and others you dislike, but you learn to accept the ones that cannot be changed. Keep in mind that at times the second and third stages blend, so conflict and power struggles are not necessarily over at this point. In fact it is healthy at this stage to deliberately bring up areas of conflict in order to work them through to resolution or acceptance.
This is a time when expectations are readjusted and both of you become more realistic. Part of the process involves grieving the loss of expectations that cannot be met, and forgiving your partner for not conforming to your ideals. Making peace with yourself over the loss of your idealistic fantasies can take years — it really depends on your level of self-awareness, your willingness to let go of control, and the degree to which you are able to tune into the relationship.
