emotional excitement - do you sometimes fantacise?

[thewomanwhothoughtshewasahat]

a couple of things set me wondering. I am happily married, have been for 11 years, but I do sometimes find myself what I can only call fantasising. The thrill of a new relationship, the drama of upheaval and change, the flattery of someone new being attracted to you. I am not, for one second, comtemplating any of this. I am not stupid enough to think that any of this is what I really want in rl. I'm also not starting the thread for people to tell me what's wrong with my relationship. I'm just genuinely interested as to whether other people think this way a bit, every now and then.

I do find it a shame that I will never experience the beginning of a relationship again, yes.
A friend is just in the mad early stages of a relationship and so in love and I do feel slightly .
But, like you, I don't really want any of it because I would never, ever want to be without dh.
