NRE

What does NRE mean regarding relationships?

New relationship energy

NRE is the fresh, exciting feeling of a new romantic relationship. People sometimes refer to this time as the "honeymoon period," where the partners view everything with rose-colored glasses.

You may see NRE in various contexts, including messages and social media. For example, your sister may tease you, "How's Lacy doing? Has that NRE worn off yet? ;)" Or, you might comment on your friend's picture with his new girlfriend, "I remember that NRE. Blink twice, and your life will revolve around chauffeuring your kids."

People also commonly use NRE in online forums, especially ones related to relationships (including polyamorous ones). For example, a user may ask for relationship advice, and someone may post, "The real work begins once that NRE wears off."
