Yes! That’s literally every relationship I’ve ever been in!
Then you need a sunset stipulation more than anyone.

Think of it as inbuilt obsolescence for a relationship. This is getting bleak again.
Stop being so pessimistic.
At its core, it simply means setting aside time at a predetermined date to discuss your happiness as a couple.
It’s a way to promote the open and honest communication that all relationships should thrive on.
Can’t we just turn a blind eye to everything and struggle on unhappily until one of us eventually dies?
Ah, the old “your parents’ approach” to love. How did that work out for you?
Aside from the lingering trauma of growing up in a hostile environment, wonderful.
Now imagine that your parents had agreed to make sure they still wanted to be together once every couple of months.
You’d have a much more mature model of dealing with things yourself.
Fine, then. How do I implement a sunset stipulation?
It’s easy.
You say: “This is going great, but I’m aware that people can often grow in different directions over the years.
I want to make sure our love remains as fresh and pure as it is today, so let’s decide to review our shared feelings and goals on a six-monthly basis going forward.”
And then hope they leave because you’re so boring? Yes, exactly that.

Do say: “Darling, I love you …” Don’t say: “… and I will for approximately six to eight months.”
