Yes - but we've only been together 10 years. May be different in another 8 years time...

BelligerentYhoULE · 17/12/2010 19:34

Yes, I still fancy him - when he's not moaning! :)

BelligerentYhoULE · 17/12/2010 19:34

Been together for nearly 17 years.

southeastastra · 17/12/2010 19:34

it's normal, tell him to keep his farts to another room and it doesn't make him very alluring Grin

nickytwotimes · 17/12/2010 19:35

i fancy dh, yep. 11 yrs

i'm sure you are not alone though.

NormalityBites · 17/12/2010 19:36

9 years, yes I fancy him, yes I often think PWOAR!

NinkyNonker · 17/12/2010 19:36

Yes, but then we've only been together for 3 yrs, married for 1.5. I'm not into shared bodily functions though!

cupcakebakerer · 17/12/2010 19:36

I've been with mine 10 years and I still fancy him. I actually fancy him more than what I did originally. I do appreciate 10 years is not 18 years though...

NeverArgueWithAnIdiot · 17/12/2010 19:36

DH has aged like a fine wine. After 13 years, I still fancy the pants off him. Regularly. Wink

Nagoo · 17/12/2010 19:37

rarely. But I don't fancy 'your man in the street' either, so it's probably just me.

I'm very a bit jealous of these 'in love' types who have all that romance and smooching after 20 years. But I'm a cynical old bitch, so that's probably why it hasn't happened to me.

raindroprhyme · 17/12/2010 19:37

it ebbs and flows sometimes i fancy the pants of him other times not at all he smells is fat too hairy etc. been together 8 years

GlynistheMincePie · 17/12/2010 19:38

hell yeah i do.

especially when he's doing (don't flame me) blokey things with ladders and drills and stuff

but then again, i've trained him NOT to fart in company, and only been together 7 yrs......

cupcakebakerer · 17/12/2010 19:38

Yep NeverArgue - I actually fancy him more now he's greying - very distinguished. God this is turning into a love-in. He'd be very chuffed if he read this.

Yes. Neither of us hides our bodily functions from eachother. We both think the other is the sexiest thing on the planet and very much fancy eachother. We've been together 12 years.

TheFallenMadonna · 17/12/2010 19:43

19 years, and yes. His forearms

Kendodd · 17/12/2010 19:43

Yes, after 15 years I still do. I sometimes look at other peoples husbands and think that mine is SO much better looking. Xmas Smile

brimfull · 17/12/2010 19:44

def yes
been married 22yrs

teafortwo · 17/12/2010 19:48

My Mum and Dad have been married for 35 years. My Dad went to a meeting at work that finished early so stopped in town to kill some time. He hadn't told my Mum who also went into town.

She was in The Body Shop and a bloke walked in who made her knees wobble and blood rush...

... after she had composed herself she suddenly realised it was my Dad.

Aaaaarrrrrr!!!!

flakeofsnow - a friend of mine said she never gushes at her DH anymore BUT she has the most respect and love for him out of all the people she knows the lack of gushing doesn't matter. Is it like that for you???

FetchezLaVache · 17/12/2010 19:49

Yes, very much so! But only been together 5 years.

thell · 17/12/2010 19:50

I really don't know!!

I mean, I see him all the time, so I don't get little flutters or whatever when I look at him, or think 'Cor, he's gorgeous!'

But when we're laughing at something together, or on the rare occasion he's being sweet towards me (in a sort-of romantic way), it does make me feel a bit gooey towards him Xmas Smile

But I am a sentimental thing, and if he were a more gazing-into-eyes type, I would feel much more gooey towards him too.

I am jealous of people who have that too.
