When we first met - ten years ago ,my husband looked and acted VERY different, he was up for a laugh, looked very very different and was much more outgoing. Now he is the opposite of what i would find attractive and is very different socially / takes life very seriously

Would you still fancy you OH if you met him today?

Yes because even though he can be super work focused and a general pain it’s still the person who supported me through the hell of a lot of growing up I had to do.

PinkHeart5914 · 06/10/2018 16:18

Without a doubt, if anything his got hotter over the years

Merryoldgoat · 06/10/2018 16:19

Yes. He’s barely changed in 13 years. I, on the other hand... not so hot Grin

NotUmbongoUnchained · 06/10/2018 16:19

Absolutely! I jump him every evening. He’s hot as hell.

Thesearmsofmine · 06/10/2018 16:19

Yes! I actually think he looks better now he has aged a few years.

Iamclearlyamug · 06/10/2018 16:20

definitely, think I fancy him more every day tbh 😳😳

LemonSqueezy0 · 06/10/2018 16:20

Yes, probably more so actually.

He's gained so much more confidence and self assurance after being left deflated and ground down from a previous relationship.

Ten years is a long time, and people do change. Where do you see this relationship in another ten years time?

BuggerOffAndGoodDayToYou · 06/10/2018 16:20

Absolutely! He just gets better with age... he does take care of himself though, still slim but with that sexy silver fox thing going on... hot as 😋

CharlotteWebb · 06/10/2018 16:21

hell yeah!

Nettletheelf · 06/10/2018 16:21

Has he turned into a miserable bastard? It’s a risk with all of them. If you’re lucky he can still be turned. The onset seems to occur around late 30s, on average.

When you say “the opposite of what you would find attractive” do you mean he has got a bit porky? Can you get him to join a cycling club or something? Then he will meet and make friends with some more cheerful men and it will prevent some of the miserable git tendencies.

Are his old mates miserable bastards? All the more reason to encourage him to extend his social circle. I speak from knowledge.

My husband looks better now than when we met (he’s conceded that he’s losing his hair and has adapted his hairstyle accordingly, plus I now tell him what to wear haha) but I have had to put the graft into turning him away from the path of middle aged male despair. I am the cheerful one and bloody hell it’s exhausting sometimes.

lol at silver fox

My DH is a solver fox :)

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 06/10/2018 16:22

Been with mine coming up to two years. Met him at 25 and he's now 27, I think he's changed a lot and looks older since we met and I fancy him all the more for it.

AnneLovesGilbert · 06/10/2018 16:22

Absolutely. Like lemon while he doesn’t look that different his approach to life has changed loads and he’s even more attractive happier, lighter, more fun and adventurous.

CharlotteWebb · 06/10/2018 16:22

silver fox - got excited as I was typing

EndeavourVoyage · 06/10/2018 16:22

Definitely fancy him more today than 30 years ago when I first met him, when he wakes I am going to ask him this question as I can’t see him giving me the same answer Grin

GlitterGlassEye · 06/10/2018 16:22

Yes. I’m not sure what it is I find attractive about him but there’s something that still gives me the fanny gallops after 17 years.

MysteriousQuinn · 06/10/2018 16:22

Yes I think my DH is more attractive now than he was when we met 10 years ago. He has started getting grey hairs recently and he's self conscious about it but I really like them Grin

AlphaBravo · 06/10/2018 16:22

No. Not one bit.

BlueSuffragette · 06/10/2018 16:23

Yes. He's just as lovely and I think is sexy and handsome . Works for me.

chipshape · 06/10/2018 16:24

Definitely not.

NotUmbongoUnchained · 06/10/2018 16:25

I actually started a thread similar to this a few years back and it was so lovely. People saying nice things about their husbands for a change, rather than all the sad depressing stuff we read everyday.

PurpleMac · 06/10/2018 16:25

Yep - six years later and he's looking a bit more haggard, but still hot. And I can say that because I'm twice as haggard as he is!

Funnyface1 · 06/10/2018 16:27

Yes, everything that attracted me is still going strong. He's better looking now really and has the same personality.

cheesefield · 06/10/2018 16:27

Yep, even more after 8 years now he's a bit more grizzled with a few greys. He's still gorgeous.

lovesugarfreejelly63 · 06/10/2018 16:28

My husband is more handsome, kind and loving today as he was when I first met him in 1961!
