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 Grin 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!

Yes. We've been together for 14 years and I still get a bit sort of embarrased when I see him after he's been at work.

Embarrased probably isn't the right word for it...like a bit silly or something!

Thank goodness countryCaterpillar - I was beginning to feel a bit lonely on this thread Grin. Don't think this thread reflects most peoples real lives though.

I look forward to seeing him every evening. I smile when I spot him when we meet in town. If he's away, I feel a bit lost and sad. 32 years

Been together just under 18 months and living together for 13 months. My only other serious relationship was 4 years of hell although it lead to DS. Every time DP gets undressed I can't stop smiling. He's gorgeous inside and out, everything I ever wanted in a man. Still kiss him at the door every morning and evening!

I don't know if I'd call if butterflies in tummy-level excited, but I really really look forward to seeing my DH even at the end of each day. He works away a fair bit and I do get properly excited, however, when he's coming back. We've been together 9 years, married 4, 1DC, and are happier than ever.

Congrats OP. Sounds like the real thing.

15 years together, 7 living together, 5 married. Still excited to see him, still look forward to him coming home. Can't believe my luck every day.

Been together 4.5 years, married nearly 3. I don't know about feeling excited every time I see him, but even just a glimpse of him lifts my spirits. I do clock watch between me getting home and him coming through the door, and I miss him when we're apart, even if it's just for a short while.

It's still strange to me to feel this way, as I have been treated very badly in the past and had vowed to not let another man near me. Approx 6 months later, DH cured me of that Grin.

Yep, only been together over 3 year but I still get a flutter when I hear him come through the front door. My parents have been married 35 year and my mum says she still gets excited to see my DF

Yes, if I get home before dp I'm always disappointed and can't wait for him to come through the door.

Yep.

I had a 6 hour shift this morning and was really happy to see his face when he picked me up. Not just because I left work but I just love seeing him.

I didn't know people felt like this! I have had a few butterflies in the early stages but never in a long term relationship.
