20 years together and yes, I fancy him even on days that I don't like him very much. He has aged and we definitely have a spark even though I don't feel all that attractive or in the mood these days.

BarbaraV · 10/08/2023 19:09

30 years together and still fancy the pants off him. Get butterflies and everything when we're being flirty. Absolutely adore him too.

Pashazade · 10/08/2023 19:14

@PimpMyFridge has put it perfectly. Ups and downs but he's the one I turn too and the sex is still good after nearly 24 years.
Yes different to the start when I jumped his bones at the slightest excuse, it's different now but I love him and I still get occasional butterflies!

Maxineputyourredshoeson1 · 10/08/2023 19:15

15yrs (yesterday was our anniversary) and I absolutely fancy the arse off him! Have we both put on weight, got wrinkles and grey hair? absolutely, but I probably fancy him more now than I did at the beginning which I didn’t think was possible Blush

bigTillyMint · 10/08/2023 19:17

Yes, 27+ years on 🔥😃

FuckNuggets · 10/08/2023 19:19

Absolutely fancy the pants off him, yes. Been together for nearly 30 years.

JorisBonson · 10/08/2023 19:20

Yep. Been together 8 years. He's still the most attractive man I've ever seen.

Highfivemum · 10/08/2023 19:22

met at age 4 in school. Starting dating at age 14, married at age 18 and now 45 and pregnant again ( surprise ) and love the bones of him. He has matured well and I feel I know him inside and out and yes I fancy him like crazy

Awrite · 10/08/2023 19:24

Yes, absolutely. Together 17 years. Met him a couple of years before that.

Thankfully he does not look like his Dad. The older I get the more I look like mine though.

Pinkdelight3 · 10/08/2023 19:25

23 years and he's more gorgeous than ever, really aged well and very much suits his late 40s. I'm a bit ropier but thankfully he still fancies me too - phew! I think if things go well, you see/fancy the person, not just the physical side, but it helps that he's still got his hair and looked after himself.

Lollypop701 · 10/08/2023 19:32

Depends on whether he’s brought me a cup of tea at 7am and wine at 7pm 😂

IpsyUpsyDaisyDoos · 10/08/2023 19:34

Yep, he's lovely inside and out. 15 years on and we're both heavier and greyer and more tired but still feel it.

FlossOnTheMill · 10/08/2023 19:35

Nearly 50 years - and yes, I do. And it's mutual 😎

Gardengirl108 · 10/08/2023 19:37

Definitely. Together 31 years and married for 25.

tsmainsqueeze · 10/08/2023 19:39

30 years together , 10 years older than me .
He is a silver fox and i think i fancy him more now than when we got together , usual domestic irritations but i could still do him every day if we ever got the chance to be alone ! and he is always a very willing participant .

maras2 · 10/08/2023 19:43

Yep. 50 + years on and still fancying.😍

IthinkIsawahairbrushbackthere · 10/08/2023 20:05

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary earlier this year. I still think he is the best looking man ever. We share a sofa every evening and fall asleep in each other's arms.

wouldbeflowerfarmer · 10/08/2023 20:06

Yes over thirty years together still fancy him, he's got better with age

Madamswearsalot · 10/08/2023 20:12

I do still fancy him - we’ve been together for 18 years. I actually sometimes find it surprising because he can irritate the hell out of me. But he is also lovely, kind and still very attractive. It’s definitely a connection thing - we are deeply connected despite differences and he still makes me belly laugh.

ShadowPuppets · 10/08/2023 20:16

Not anywhere near as long as some of these but we’ve been together 11 years and I still think he’s incredibly hot. And I do get butterflies when we hold hands ☺️ (probably because it’s so rare as usually one of us is pushing a pram and the other is holding a toddler’s hand!)

Yes sometimes the desire is a bit muffled - we’ve had a very tough 3 years and it takes a lot more motivation to jump on him these days. But when we do, it’s just like before. I’ll take that.

Clafoutie · 10/08/2023 20:28

This is a lovely thread 🤗

chickabilla · 10/08/2023 20:58

Yes, I do. There have been peaks and troughs along the way but we’ve always been alright and we’re at a peak now as kids are older and we get more time together. 23 years.

nonmerci99 · 10/08/2023 21:00

7 years here, and yes. Sexual chemistry is fortunately something we don’t have to work on.

cheezncrackers · 10/08/2023 21:02

Yes, I do. Together 21 years, married for 18 and I still fancy him (most of the time!)

Reallynotoverreacting · 10/08/2023 21:04

Been together 20years, married 16 and I still fancy the absolute pants off him, I always think he's the most sexy, handsome man in the room (because he usually is 😁)
