Has anyone else gone off their DH? Is this normal?!

[SoilAndSeed]

I've been with my dh for nearly 15 years and we have 3 DC together. We've had our ups and downs but I am getting a feeling of unattractiveness towards him. I'm not sure anything has really triggered it but it's not really anything to do with his physical appearance as he has maintained his weight and has aged well over the years.

It's more the little things which I think have actually annoyed me but I have ignored / disregarded over the years but the accumulation over the years has got me to this point. I'm sometimes embarrassed of him. I find myself noticing other men who have the qualities he is lacking in and find them attractive. Not in a sexual / I want to have an affair kind of way but a sense of admiration / attraction if that makes sense!

Is this normal after being in a relationship for a long time or is it that we weren't really a good match to start with as I did sort of rush in and "settle" to speak.

I agree. Such a sad thread really.

Me and DH chose not to have children and I do think that makes a difference. We have always been able to have time for each other, go out, go away etc and not have the big upheaval that children bring.

lol mydog you really think you love your DH more because you didn't have kids??

You got lucky. Appreciate it.

No, I think we still get on because we didn't have children to throw a bomb into our relationship.

I never said it meant we love each other more although most of the posters on here don't seem to have much love for the OH.

I don't think it is coincidence that all our childfree friends are still on their first marriage and happy after at least 30 years whereas the majority of our friends with children are divorced (a few more than once)
