My dh and I have been together 15+years and have always had an excellent relationship in every way but recently and I am ashamed to say this I have thought he looks a bit old and I don't know if I fancy him anymore.He is 7 years older than me but I am in my early forties so neither of us are spring chickens but I am really disappointed in myself for being so shallow and am really asking will it pass?I have changed my name as he looks here occasionally and I would hate to hurt him so if you rumble me keep quiet!I feel it might just be that seeing him age is bringing it home to me that we are getting on a bit as I love him to bits and this is the first time I have ever felt like this

maybe if your feeling older yourself, youd rather 'notice' his aging than your own and as hes seven years older, he's obviously going to look older..could it be insecurities about yourself?your age..the fact you prob feel 21 but your body is giving you away?
thats not meant to sound awful so sorry if it does?, just think it may be your way of thinking well at least i dont look as old as him?

its the personl you love and we all get wrinklyer at time go's by

I think he will still guess it is you.

It sounds like it could be more you been unsettled about getting older and as you probably look at him more than yourself, it appears it is him looking less than gorgeous.

I would think it is more about how you feel about aging in general.We all end up old and craggy but can still have great fun together
