Is your husband/partner the love of your life?

Feeling loved up today (must be ovulating, ha ha!) so thought I would start a nice happy thread for a change!

DH is definitely the love of my life/the one. We absolutely get on and understand each other better than anyone else does or ever has. He is always kind and considerate towards me and never takes any grumps out on me. And I still fancy him and think 'ooh!' when he walks in the door, despite being together a loooooong time!

If there is such thing as a soul-mate he is definitely it Smile

I'm not ovulating, but it's a lovely idea ;-)

My wife defintely is the Love of My Life, and after 15 years we are still very much in love and kissing, touching all the time. She's beautiful and I fancy the pants off her.

Ive only been with my DP for 2 and a half years. Spent 9 years with a man I didnt love before that. I never thought I would be in love and had resigned myself to not getting married or having children (despite the fact I was only 28, Im such a drama queen :)). Found the courage eventually to kick XP out and met someone else by accident. Never intended to have a relationship so soon but I quickly realised he was the one :). We are getting married this year. Hes a bit of a buffoon at times and has made some daft mistakes but I know he loves me completely and things are good. It was so worth the trauma of getting rid of the X, I always wanted to be in love :)

Well I'm premenstrual Angry and I still think DH is the love of my life after 29 years. Still want to stick an icepick in his head occasionally.

azazello · 10/01/2011 15:07

Yes definitely. Just need to remember it and not shout at him because he can't breastfeed!

Wombat33 · 10/01/2011 15:08

LOL @ *Malificence!!

Yep, my DH is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. I'm so lucky :)

scouserabroad · 10/01/2011 15:15

I don't know. I used to think so but he can't be or we would be happier together.

Mimblesson · 10/01/2011 15:27

Happinesss needs some cultivating, like an exotic flower. It can wither from lack of attention.

Unicornlover · 10/01/2011 15:29

TSC That's actually not true. There has been scientific research done showng that if you stimulate a mans nipples enough, then they will and can lactate.

Manshape always hides his when i'm in a foul mood [grn]

He is at the moment, but I've never been in a relationship with a bloke who wasn't at that time the love of my life. What would be the point? I don't believe you only have 1 love of your life or subscribe to the cult of "the one".
I think people change through time as well and that someone whose personality you love at 18 might really irritate you at 50.
Bloke and I have been happy for nearly 10 years now though.

ILoveItWhenYouCallMeBoo · 10/01/2011 15:42

I'm loving this.

i used to think my EX was the love of my life, but now i think it was just becasue he was my first love. i think there is another out there for me.

perfumedlife · 10/01/2011 15:44

Yes, ten happy years married. My dh is my best friend and we are never bored together. I love him.

I did have a previous love though, I agree there doesn't have to be just one.

Or am I greedy? Blush

Yeah, 'e's alright

MargaretGraceBondfield · 10/01/2011 15:48

Oh dear, no DH is no longer the love of my life. I thought he was, but I think I was a bit obsessedBlush, and now the lust is gone 12 years and 4 children on. Although it's bloody hard having small children and sustaining a relationship.

deemented · 10/01/2011 15:50

No, not greedy at all.

DH was the love of my life. I knew we'd never grow old together, but i don't regret it, not for a moment. I think of him daily and the children are a testament to him.

Manshape... god, i love the bones of him. He lets me talk about DH and recognises that DH still has a big part to play in the childrens lives. But manshape was my first love, and my last. I can't ever imagine not being with him.

WimpleOfTheBallet · 10/01/2011 15:51

I think he is yes...we've been through some right crap but always manage to laugh together...I don't see either of us being hapy without the other...when we first met both of us relised this was it immediately...it wasn't love at first sight...it was just something we knew.

Malificence · 10/01/2011 15:51

"Vaguely" evil Grin

I'm full-fat, growling and spitting evil today, sore boobs et al. I don't know how I got to work and back without ramming someone off the road. I think it's time to go back on the menoserene tablets.

ChickensAreFlyingUnderTheRadar · 10/01/2011 15:53

I'm just revving up Mal. The tide is turning. By the end of the week the DC will have moved out to a friend's house and DH will ahve very important meetings which mean he'll be late home Grin Even the budgie will be oddly silent.

Malificence · 10/01/2011 15:54

You can get it all back you know Margaret - small kids can consume a relationship like a plague of locusts but if you can hang on in there it gets better once they've grown up and buggered off. Wink

JamieLeeCurtis · 10/01/2011 15:55

I am peri-menopausal, but I do think my DH is lovely, and has got lovelier and lovelier over the course of our 20 years together

CaptainNancy · 10/01/2011 15:58

mimblesson- are you actually Snufkin? [hopeful]

Mimblesson · 10/01/2011 15:59

I should have spelled it Mymblesson; but if you mean was I ever someone called Snufkin on these boards, then no I'm not, sorry.
