Despite being happily married have you ever met another man and thought another time another place me and you would have been good together?

[Ihave]

Have you?

Umm no, don't think I have.... although I have (like everybody else, I suspect) thought 'cor, if I wasn't married, I would'.

Well, I've met men that I got along with fantastically and considered attractive... so I suppose yes to the question.

But no-one that I would prefer over DH.

Or maybe I've read you wrong, did you just mean DTD? If so then, yes think everyone does.

Sadly, yes.

Yes, of course.

all the time!

Yes. But I love my DH and don't want to be with anyone else and would never cheat on him..so it really was "maybe in another life" scenario.

Yes

Phew, thankfully it's not just me then.

I am happily married. Love my dh, love my kids. But there is a guy I am very friendly with. He's very funny, very understanding, patient, calm etc etc. He too is married with kids and neither of us would do anything.

Sometimes I find myself drifting thinking what if?

Then I shake myself and remember what I have.

Yes, unfortunately it is one of dh's best friends .

I love those daydreams...but am old and wise enough to know that the grass is not greener and besides I love DH to bits.

yes yesterday! and on a couple of previous occasions

it makes me feel that even if something awful happened to my lovely dh - or to me - that there may well be someone out there - maybe im a fatalistic misery guts but there we have it!

You have to ask, "if I hadn't met my DH, would I have been single for the rest of my life". Almost certainly not, there's more than one potential life-partner out there for all of us. But as Clarice says, the grass isn't always greener. Tho it isn't always that easy to remember that!

Yes. Twice. But I'm still here. Common sense tells me that life is never going to be all sunshine and sometimes the greenest grass gets weedkilled...

LOL OrmIrian!
I say...whoever your with someone still has to put the rubbish out...

Good point lilospell. You are right. I'd not thought of it like that. Feel a bit better now!

Yes and we're asking him to be our son's godfather (he's a good friend of ours), however, I would still have chosen DH if I'd meet them both at the same time.

Its very normal and should just be fantasy - cos the reality probably wont be much better. It like those day-dreams where we would have all married millionaires and live in rose covered cottages as well as jetting off around the world.

My poor DH has so much to live up too!!!

But then there is that other fantasy - where i wouldnt have my head in the fridge all day and be a size 6 or something!!!

Hey ho back to normal life then.

OP- yes

Yes definitely. Met my DH very young and have since met 4 guys I definitely think I could have had a decent innings with, and in a way it's a shame we didn't get the opportunity. Still sure I would have ended up with DH though - it's just a question of timing.

Yes, a hunky neighbour, salt and pepper hair, twinkly eyes, really funny. Sigh. Thank goodness he's moved to Devon.....

Recently on a work trip I met a man of about 60 who was very attractive and I hit it off with him immediately. I reckon that, and he agreed(well he actually said) that if he was 20 years younger (and I was single of course)we would have been dynamite together.

Yes (but just before I was married so does that count?) We were really good friends with the potential for more, but luckily we had the sense not to go beyond flirting and eventually it was easier just to change things so we didn't see each other. I wouldn't want to be without DH, but I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if we'd both been single.

No...have not so far met the first one of those, let alone an extra one!

How do you ladies do it?!
