Title: Time Frames Post by: aviator7 on October 04, 2013, 05:44:34 AM I know there isn't a "typical" time frame - In your experience, how long was the idealization phase?

Welcome to the boards! I'm sorry your post slipped through the cracks. I hope you didn't worry about it not getting any replies, it's certainly nothing wrong with it. To answer you question, I would say it's individual. In my case about 6 months. It seems to last a few months in general.

Title: Re: Time Frames Post by: starkwell on October 08, 2013, 03:36:44 PM I think it depends on life events... .i.e. when they know they've got their hooks deep enough into you that their fear of abandonment recedes... .
For me, it came in 2 waves: 1. Made commitment to get back together and become serious 2. Had kids Third stage will undoubtedly come when we separate. |
