We’re all familiar with it: The glow and excitement of a brand new relationship. Every time you meet someone new and fall in love with them, it can feel like the most perfect thing imaginable. For a while there, your significant other can do no wrong – and she doesn’t think you can do any wrong, either. All good things must come to an end, though, and the thrill of a new relationship is no exception. There’s no definite way to predict exactly when that newness will wear off, but there are several signs that women look for to tell when the so-called “honeymoon period” is finished. Learn a little bit about those signs below.

Letting Down Your Guard
When you first start dating somebody, you’re both on your very best behavior. After all, you want her to like you and you want to see where things will go. First impressions are critical, so presenting the best version of yourself as possible is smart. Keeping up that façade indefinitely is impossible, though, and one of the surest signs that a relationship has moved out of the honeymoon period is when you let yourself get angry or emotional where you wouldn’t have in the past. Even the nicest people in the world lose their cool from time to time; when you finally let down your guard enough to let your “true colors” shine, it’s safe to say that the wooing and courting phase has come and gone.

Letting Bodily Functions Fly
Even the most boorish man on the planet tries to reign in the burping, farting and other bodily expulsions when he’s dating a new woman. Usually, however, once he’s pretty secure about the her commitment to him, he stops feeling the need to be as discreet. Although bodily functions are normal and a fact of life, most women would prefer not to be subjected to them day in and day out. If you really have to “let one loose,” try to be a bit subtle about it. The only exception would be if your wife or girlfriend genuinely likes it when you loudly fart or burp – in that case, let ‘em rip! Fair’s fair, though: Don’t give her a hard time if she does likewise from time to time – women actually do those things, too, contrary to popular belief.

Easing Up The Chivalry
One characteristic that most women sorely miss once the honeymoon period is over is chivalry. Opening doors for her, standing when she gets up and various other ultra-polite things tend to go out the window once you’re cohabitating or otherwise fully committed. Guys, there’s no reason why those things can’t become full-fledged habits, even after the honeymoon has ended – don’t be afraid to keep them up!

Not Trying As Hard
One of the most unfortunate things that happens when a relationship matures to a certain point is that both parties stop putting as much effort into their personal appearances. Many guys, for example, put their very best clothes into heavy rotation in the beginning of a new relationship; similarly, many women don matching bras and panties and present themselves as being utterly put together. After a while, such pretensions fade away; suddenly, you’re wearing Joey Buttafuoco pants and she’s got ripped panties and a matronly bra on. What gives? For the sake of one another, that effort should continue and utter slobbishness should be kept at bay as much as possible.
