Been with DH 17 years and tbh it hasn't been the best relationship for a lot of that time. We both brought a fair bit of baggage with us in the beginning and that, plus general life shit, has meant we've struggled. I think we've always loved each other underneath it all but it hasn't been easy and at times we've both doubted whether we would make it.
The last few months have been a bit strange, we both seem to have had a bit of an epiphany and things suddenly seem to have come together for us. We're communicating better than we ever have, getting on great and seem secure with each other in a way we never really have before. I can't describe it properly but it's like something finally clicked and we're close in a way we never have been before.
Our sex life was monumentally shit, very infrequent and felt like we'd never really scratched the surface, like we were scared to show that side of ourselves (see aforementioned 'baggage') but even that has changed for the better. We're happy, which is great but feels a bit strange after all this time.
I suppose what I want to know is whether this has happened to anyone else? I know relationships evolve but I'm finding this sudden 'everything clicking into place' feeling a bit unsettling, I guess I didn't expect it to happen after all this time and I'm a bit scared it won't last.
