To be upset that my partner will probably never again give me that look of adulation that Wills gave to Kate today

[idotry]

After 13 years, it's just dull I tell you [csad]

I'm sorry.

We're 12yrs in and happily, dh still looks at me like that.

Do you want to talk about it at all or just venting?

awww thats sad :(

i'm nearly 3 1/2 years in with dh (although only married a few months) and he's still besotted so far i hope its still like this in ten years time.

and i second SOH - do you want to talk about it?

Married 2 and 1/2 years and occasionally my dh still gives me those looks usually when he's after a bit

15 years in (though only married for eight)...not sure about 'adulation' but defo still fancy the pants off each other which will do for me.

What the others say, just venting or need to talk??

mine still does after 20 years, so maybe you are in the wrong relationship :)

I was really surprised at the lack of those kind of looks between them.

My OH does mind you we never see each other so when we do its special...just want him to marry me [cgrin]

Are you sure he doesn't and you don't notice? I don't notice it after 15 years but other people comment so I guess DH still does.

My sis and her DH do after almost 15 years (though it is very conservatively done but still very sweet).

Maybe its time to shake things up a bit if it seems a little stagnant. It might just have become too routine for you and you need a bit of change?

I think all couples can get into a rut or too occupied by daily stuff to realise they have stopped being romantic in that way. I am sure it will happen to me and my DP at some stage. But I also believe it is easily sorted, unless there are serious underlying problems.

Big hugs either way.

Do YOU still look at HIM like that?

Truthfully originalfab no, I really don't . I don't think there is any serious underlying problems but just a serious lack of butterflies in the stomach on my behalf, I guess I feel sad that thats it on the flutter front for me.

It doesn't have to be but you really can't moan about your husband when you don't look at him that way either. My husband would never be described as good looking in a Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp way but I still look at him and think my goodness you are yummy.

Oh I thought it was normal to stop getting "them" sort of looks, can I ask who genuinely still gets butterflies in their stomachs about their husbands

10yrs here and yes, very much still looking at each other like that!

Sometimes I get a little heart skip for no apparent reason when he walks through the room

They've been together 10 years, (the royal couple), could have had 6 children by now, living in sin etc and probably about the 10 year or 8 year stage of a marriage so it's not as if she's been certified virgin by the doctor as Diana was and they are about to get sex for the first time in their lives tonight.

I still get (and give) those looks daily, I wouldn't still be married to him after 26 years if I didn't.
He's only got to raise an eyebrow in a suggestive manner and I go all wobbly.

Still look at DP like that after nearly 6 years.

We are complete drips really.

I don't get butterflies, but I know that DH and I have a respectful and loving type of chemistry/connection.

We have been married for 16 years and I still get butterflies and my heart skips when he winks at me.

Yeah i still get butteflies horny when he looks at me. Been together nearly 9 years and married for 7 and hes hot

any chance that flutter might come back idotry?

we've been married for 14 years this year, but together for 24 years. we've had our moments but on the whole i'd say yes, we do still look at each other in that way.

10 years, and we still have those moments now and again :)

my hubby would rather play wow than even look at me :(
