(Happy topic!) Are you still excited to see your partner each day?

[BrightNewLife]

I'm loved up and in a wonderful new relationship after a toxic (12 year) marriage.

We've been together just over a year. I still can't get over how happy I am to see him every time we meet... and vice versa. We don't live together and I know this is the honeymoon period, but I did wonder if this EVER lasts?!!

To those in long-term happy relationships, do you still have this wonderful buzz?

I'm pretty much a realist, we have our share of life issues, divorce, exes, and over 5 kids together so its not always a bed of roses, but this guy just makes my heart sing.

I'd like to hear happy stories from happy couples!

[ninecoronas]

Together 11 years, married for two, and I'm still excited to see him. He used to be home from work before me and I always used to knock on the door to see him open it with a grin, instead of using my keys. plus they were buried in my handbag

Now I'm at home with a baby, and me and the baby both get excited to see him come home!

[RainbowsAndLemonDrops]

I always look forward to seeing him. Even if we've had a disagreement or been annoyed at each other during the day. He really gives me butterflies.

[BrightNewLife]

Aww! I love these!

Keep 'em coming!

I am so thrilled to be with someone really caring and kind, who does all the little things. He opens the car door, gets my coat at restaurants and fills the petrol! .... my horrible ex made me a cup of tea about 4 times in 12 years!

Plus I love that we kiss hello and goodbye every day, and that he's such a man; he teaches sport to kids in his spare time, helps in the community and is super hot to boot!

After a bad 'un, I wanted to renew my faith in good relationships.

[RainbowsAndLemonDrops]

He's in the shower now, I still peak at him getting undressed 'cause he's fucking gorgeous and I cannot believe he gets into bed with me every night

I've been with my partner about 18 months, living together for the last 4 or so. I know it's relatively early days but I get SO excited to see him at the end of every day.

I was in a very unhappy relationship before him, for the best part of ten years. By the end I just had to hear his key in the front door and my heart would sink I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to actually look forward to seeing someone instead of that awful dread!

[HateSummer]

10 years together and not exactly excited but a "phew" and comforting feeling. He always makes a funny face when he walks in that makes me laugh. The kids however, do get excited, stupidly.

[SheSaidNoFuckThat]

Yes. Been together 16 years and married 10 this year, I still get butterflies, still fancy the pants off him and wouldn't trade him for anything!

[honeyroar]

12yrs here and sat on the settee with my feet up on his legs feeling happy, babbling away at each other. I work away and love it when I'm about to go home to him.

[loopylulu80]

18 years together and 13 years married and I love him more every day. It's just us two with no plans for kids but we are best friends and laugh almost every day 😘❤💕

[Crispbutty]

I was just out of a 13yr abusive and violent marriage to a controlling mysoginist when I met my DP.

Together almost 3 years now and still get butterflies when I think about him and his smile lights up my life.

[BackforGood]

every day?

I mean, he's my rock, my other half, I know he'd be there for me (and has been there for me) at my lowest moments, and I still love him even on the days he annoys me, but I really can't say I'm excited to see him every day, and do think I'm fairly typical of people that I know well.

We've been married 23 years.

[BridgetDarcy]

More now than I ever have. We have been together 9 years. He brightens my day. I still get butterflies and love coming home to him. I feel very very lucky.

[Moanyoldcow]

12 years together, 6 married. Still get a little buzz when I hear his keys in the door. If I'm meeting him out somewhere I still get really excited when I see him.

[JonSnowsWhore]

Definitely! Been together for 2 1/2 years. I still countdown to when he should be getting in from work, & most of the time he'll ring me when he's on his way to ask if I need anything so I know when to start getting excited

Right now though if he doesn't stop thrashing about in bed I wouldn't mind if he buggered off to the sofa tonight as long as he's still in the flat close by!

[Rescuepuppydaft2]

Absolutely, we are together 14 years, married twelve this year and despite being together almost 24/7 (he is my carer) I still feel my heart lift when he walks in the room! I too peek as he gets dressed, he is gorgeous and sexy and I just love every single bit of him. He helps me with so many aspects of personal care but still sees me as me, he is my soulmate and I knew that from day one. We have been through hell and back and I just love him more each day.

[bowtieandheels]

I'm loving this thread and it's giving me hope that the tingles can survive once you move in with someone. I've been with my DP for 3 years and still get excited to see him but I thought this was because we don't live together and was worried it would lose it's magic if and when we do. Here's hoping!

[ShoutOutToMyEx]

Oh yes. Hearing the key turn in the door is always the best part of my day. However annoying he is once he's in!

[Seren85]

Together 14 years, lived together 4.5 years, married 2.5 years (we met young) and I am always happy when he comes home or when I know I'm going home to him and we can cook tea and discuss our, frankly ridiculous, plot theories about shared TV shows and chat about anything and everything. Even when we've had a tiff and one of us has buggered off to the pub, I'm still happy when he comes home/I get in. So maybe not excited, per se, but happy.

[Nomoreworkathome]

Not excited so much but always look forward to our long, boozy lunches every Saturday and just hanging out with him

[Isthismummy]

Always so happy to see my dp at end of the day.

I always get a kiss followed by him telling me he's missed me. He's a soppy sod

[Kevinbaconsrealwife]

Yep, another one here....been with my gorgeous , kind , funny DH for 10 years and adore him ( and it would appear vice Versa 😀😀) ....lost my first ( and equally lovely) DH to cancer 12 years ago and really thought I'd already had my chance of happiness xx

[LooksBetterWithAFilter]

Yep still get excited when I see him pull up at home. Lived together nearly 4 years married nearly 2. I still like checking him out when he's getting undressed and he still gives me butterflies.
When he kisses me goodbye before he goes out to work I still get that lightheaded feeling and go all wibbly.
We are ridiculously soppy behind closed doors I make myself feel sick at times

[throughgrittedteeth]

Been together nearly 2 years, but have known DP for 15 years and we were together for 3 years as teenagers. Love every second of being with him, he makes me very happy and I clock watch some days til he gets home

[bingandabong]

Yep 10 years together 1 DC, and I still smile and get excited about spending time together. We have had friends and family comment that when I see DH walks into a room my face lights up and visa versa.. Don't get me wrong we have our arguments and get annoyed with each other, but I bloody love him even enough to share my bottle of gin with

[Illtellyouwhatswhat10]

Yeeessss!

Left my Ex DH over 5 years ago for my current DH (all happened very suddenly but that's another story). He is a dreamboat in absolutely every way. Love, love, love being with him and he feels exactly the same way about me.
