I've been with my husband since I was a teenager, now mid forties, and I've always been quite relaxed (some might say lazy!), about my looks. I'm just not that interested, I don't have an opinion on other peoples looks either, I've never seen a person I thought was unattractive. My husband takes care of himself and makes a good bit of effort with his appearance, but I am getting older, a bit of grey etc and it's just going to get worse. But I'm not bothered on a personal level. I just want to relax as I get older but I've met some people lately who are very looks orientated and it's started to get me thinking.... Should I care more? I've seen it said that when you let yourself go you're letting your partner down. I get that in terms of fitness/cleanliness but should it go beyond that?
